Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Stepstowealth]

Manchester City without Kelvin De Bruyne and Rodri is an overhyped team. The absence of both players have had a negative impact on the team’s performance in the last three games including defeat to Arsenal this weekend which is the most recent lose they have conceded.

With Pep noticing the importance of these players and how their absence can seriously affect the teams performance, he is a smart man and will not want to remain limited to them, so that if there is another time like this this season in all the competitions they play were they have to be without Rodri, that their team will still be able to maintain their high performance. This two losses in the premier league does not mean that they cannot still go on to win the premier league again, it just shows that they are not very strong this season.

What an incredible story for Arsenal, they finally beat Manchester City in the premier league after so many years and also Arteta finally beating the master tactician Pep in the premier league. Arsenal supporters celebrated this win like they have finally won the league, it just showed how much the win meant to them. It was an interesting game and equally interesting result.

Arsenal achievements this season in the EPL as a whole are phenomenal, Arteta managed to make Arsenal recover and forget about the defeat to Lens by beating the defending EPL and UCL champions namely Man City. A victory that had been waiting for quite a long time, and it was natural for their fans to celebrate as if they were already champions. Arsenal efforts to win the EPL trophy last season failed, this season Arteta squad is considered stronger with better squad depth. Their new recruits such as Declan Rice and Harvertz have had an instant impact on improving Arsenal performance and stability, it would not be wrong to position Arsenal as a contender for the EPL championship this season.

What Arsenal need to try is to maintain focus when the season is almost over, so as not to lose points in the match that determines the championship trophy as was felt last season. However, the Man City squad will certainly try to get back up to defend the trophy, Pep is certainly not happy with the two consecutive defeats.

Manchester City without Kelvin De Bruyne and Rodri is an overhyped team. The absence of both players have had a negative impact on the team’s performance in the last three games including defeat to Arsenal this weekend which is the most recent lose they have conceded. Gabriel Martinelli’s goal was enough to give Arsenal a win. Arsenal will treasure this win, the team have worked hard to come this far, good work to Mikel Arteta, trusting the process is finally paying off.

It cannot be denied that Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri play an important role in the Man City squad, Pep does not have a suitable cover for the two of them in the current squad, ultimately causing them to suffer two consecutive defeats in the EPL. On the other hand, Arsenal is indeed in top form and has not been defeated in the EPL, their positive trend gives them confidence when facing Man City, and they get full support from fans because they play at the Emirates.

Arteta is showing better management at Arsenal than last year. Manchester City could not achieve last year's dominance this year. From what I have observed, with the departure of İlkay Gündoğan, they are not as effective in the midfield as before, and when Kevin De Bruyne gets injured, the dynamics of the team are disrupted. They had problems in the last two matches. Arsenal are in a better situation now and they got a morale boost with the win over City.

Considering that the EPL is very competitive, several players who have experienced a decline in performance due to increasing age, such as Gundogan, must be released, apart from streamlining the squad, the aim is also to regenerate younger players. I think Man City current situation is not as bad as Man United and Chelsea, which are both elite clubs, after the international break I think Pep can bring Man City back to winning ways.

It is not surprising that Arsenal is Manchester City's main competitor in the race for the title because last season both teams did it too it's just that Arsenal wasted that opportunity when there were only a few games left in the season, this season Arsenal still have a chance but we don't know if they will make the same mistake at the end of the season. Regarding Manchester City we cannot speculate because the Premier League has only had 8 matches and there are still 30 games remaining I mean anything can happen even something we never thought about.

I don't agree with this idea fully although there is some level of accuracy but then it's usually a team work, we still have the likes of haland who does the finishing after all said and done by de bruyne and rodri at the front lines, they are very valued players in Manchester city but the team cannot be said to be over hyped without them as the team tries their best even in their absence.

As in the case of Arsenal vs Manchester city, I don't think their absence was the main reason Manchester city lost that game, tho its effect was seen but then Manchester tried their possible best to balance the game throughout, as seen in the first half of the game where haland was seen trying to make way to get a goal but then arsenal was at alert enough not to allow them get a goal and arsenal is at their peak currently and playing from home.

All this were advantage they had which couldn't be underestimated as compared to Manchester city who was playing in the absence of two of their best but they were able to hold Arsenal down enough not to get more than a goal and Arsenal had leaser goal chances as did Manchester city so that game shouldn't be used to judge the strength of Manchester city and attaching it to the absence of those two players as Manchester city remains good with or without bruyne and rodri as proven in other games.

With Pep noticing the importance of these players and how their absence can seriously affect the teams performance, he is a smart man and will not want to remain limited to them, so that if there is another time like this this season in all the competitions they play were they have to be without Rodri, that their team will still be able to maintain their high performance. This two losses in the premier league does not mean that they cannot still go on to win the premier league again, it just shows that they are not very strong this season.

Manchester City are in the race to win EPL this season, they have declined in performance but all hope are not lost because the club is built on strong foundation by Pep Guardiola. He's dependent on these crucial players, scouting for backup replacement for them for the future purposes. Pep is not relenting as he's making good efforts to make things better for his team, targeting ultimate priorities for the citizens. Unfortunately the team is about to crumbled due to the absence of key players on the pitch, Kelvin De Bruyne and Rodrigo Hernández Cascante are important for the team, perhaps sooner they will return back to the squad and make positive impact.

In the next match week, three matches catch my eye. These are City vs Brighton, Chelsea vs Arsenal and Aston Villa vs West Ham. I think these matches are more important than the other matches and I think they can be more quality matches in terms of viewing pleasure. Although Chelsea is out of form and trying to recover, I expect that they will show resistance against a championship candidate team. On the other hand, I hope that we will see plenty of goals in the other 2 matches I mentioned except the Chelsea-Arsenal match.

Every Club will have to prepare very well since they'll have some players present not called for international duties.

I'm more concerned about the London derby game between Chelsea and Arsenal. Chelsea football club have been seen thriving of late, with three successful wins across the last five games they have played, they have taken a bold step forward finding a good form. Same winnings, draw ans lose for Arsenal too. It's obvious that they would get to share the points together.
Arsenal will not get the better of this game when they eventually meet.

Manchester City would be at home but I would love a positive response after three lose in the last four games, it's been a rough one for Pep Guardiola. Manchester United away facing Sheffield United tough but United wins.
There will also be another derby, ( Liverpool against Everton ) Liverpool has always had more wins, bet would be on Toffees to win!

Manchester City still have the firepower even against Arsenal they displayed a lot of it. Arsenal where more defensive and containing the city side, while city where more aggressive in the attack. Of course I will give it to arteta for his brilliant performance, at least it was much better than last season. Also for city side, these guys have been on the winning side  week in week out, i believe most of their players might as well suffer from fatigue, and it's natural in football because if Kevin De Bruyne had been on that midfield, trust me we will be having a different conversation here, because Arsenal where really on the lucky side of that game.

I think this is still not seen because the beginning of the season until towards the end of the season last year Arsenal were also very good it's just that Arsenal's problem in the last few seasons has remained the same with them not really being able to make their consistency last for a season and last season was also like that.
The rise in their performance at the beginning of the season and mid-season was not accompanied by a good performance at the end of the season so it seems that the increase and decrease in their performance can happen quickly and no one can predict it.
If at the end of this season they are like that I think the management still hasn't changed but we still have to continue to wait whether something like this will happen or not.

Yes Arsenal had a very poor end to last season after starting well just like this season, many fans are still holding on to that excuse that they are not genuine contenders. I will also agree that we should wait till then but I will draw my conclusions from their performances so far. One thing Arteta needed to handle in the summer was to increase the squad with better players that can come in and change a game. Players like Rice and Timber were better signings to Cover in the midfield and defense. Last season this was what caused them the league, the Saliba injury and also Partey’s. This two accusations with that of Harvetz who is versatile will provide them much needed depth if the players are fit. Although they should have added a new striker too

I also noticed that Arsenal This season can actually defend a single goal lead to win a game. Last season they dropped points more when they were in winning position and that was what cost them the league. But this season I have seen them hold on to the win with just one goal deficit

I think every player in that Manchester city team is important but they’re key players that makes the team better like Rodrigo and Kevin Debruyne. But Manchester city is a team with a many experienced players that can make things work in the absence of these key figures. It’s still surprising that they’ve lost all 3 games without Rodrigo and I don’t think their absence is the determining factor but their performance is declining and it’s not the same as of last season. Something isn’t right with the Manchester city team.

As said, both of them are pillars of Man City, they are key players in Man City apart from Haaland. Man City has been weakened since De Bruyne was injured, and he was injured for a long time, even though we could say, he is the brain of Man City. And not only that, while De Bruyne hasn't recovered, they also have to play without their mainstay defensive midfielder, Rodri. This is a quite significant problem for Man City. Yes, even though they have a very strong Haaland up front, with the absence of these two key players, they still cannot be optimal. This is a challenge for Man City, especially since they have lost in a row, and the peak was in the match against their toughest rival club, Arsenal, they also had to submit even with just 1 goal. Pep Guardiola must think more carefully about anticipating this in the future without these two players, not only in the EPL but also in the UCL.

[SmartCharpa]

On paper Arsenal should be able to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, their relatively stable performance this season reached its peak when they managed to beat Man City. On the other hand, Chelsea is just showing signs of a revival in performance after experiencing ups and downs, they achieved positive results in the last two matches over Fulham and Burnley. Chelsea and Arsenal have almost equal squad depth, but the strength of the two clubs so far is very different, Arsenal sits in second place while Chelsea is ranked eleventh. In short, Arsenal has a better and bigger chance of getting three points, for Chelsea the most realistic target is to hold Arsenal to a draw.

On the other hand, this London derby match will only be held after the second period of the international break, Arteta and Pochettino have lots of time to prepare everything for their respective teams. It is possible that several injured Chelsea players will be available again, but of course it would be too risky if Pochettino immediately made them starters in the starting XI when facing Arsenal.

Just because Chelsea has won their past two games does not mean that I would assume that they would be able to compete with Arsenal to even draw the game, regardless of what they could play or how good they are becoming with their performances. Although anything can happen in football, but it won't happen with a club like Chelsea, Because I wasn't expecting Arsenal to defeat Manchester City but they did so because Man City players were out, I can only guess that if Nkunku returns to Chelsea, Chelsea's performances might be stronger than they have been. However, even if he plays against Arsenal, it will still be difficult to predict whether Chelsea will win or draw. Pochettino have a big long way to go.

Losing a game against Arsenal can't prove anything for Manchester City and their players because even in the last season when Manchester City in the Premier League title, they didn't have a good performance in the first weeks compared the teams like Arsnal but time after time they got improved and in the end the won the title. Pep Guardiola is experienced enough to win this tournament again.

At the start of last season, Arsenal also played very well and they even dominated the top of the standings until more than the middle of the season. It's just that they seemed to lose control in the middle of the season to the end, so they could be overtaken by Man City, which incidentally was very on fire at that time. Don't let this season be the same, this will be tough homework for Arteta and Arsenal as a whole. Meanwhile, Man City experienced a decline in performance during this season because they were losing their key players, especially De Bruyne. Furthermore, Rodri was also absent. So this really has a big influence on Man City's overall performance. However, if both of them return, they will definitely be even stronger. Although we cannot guarantee that De Bruyne will actually return to his normal performance or not.

Some players didn't do so well, Pep Guardiola has hand in the lose due to his tactics in the game. This could be as a result of Injured players and players no fit well enough after returning from Injury.
This might not be the ending, they should play Brighton in the next fixtures, they may likely lose again if they don't find balance fast.

I didn't see the gge against Wolves but I do know, Neto was responsible for breaking Cities wing backs with his pace. But Gunners? Every single player showed character.

It's still early weeks and nothing clear about that. Arsenal got three points against city but it doesn't even mean if winning this match made arsenal won EPL. City had got many of its important players were injured. There's nothing wrong to miss those players due to the injury.
Rodri was out due to the red card suspension. You call that an over hyped team once it was able winning treble winners last season. How is it possible for over hyped teams to win treble winners?
The better to lost at the early weeks but win the trophy at the end rather than lead the competition for 33 weeks but still trophyless. 

It's just matter of time till grealish, rodri, de bruyne and many players will be coming back again. Football was a game for 11 players and not only KDB on rodri. 
Having important players in the club is not something wrong.

This two losses in the premier league does not mean that they cannot still go on to win the premier league again, it just shows that they are not very strong this season.

I do not agree that they are not very strong this season because they have almost the same squad as last year and they also added an important defender like Gvardiol to the team. They still maintain their good squad from last year and are still one of the strong teams in the EPL. I think they are still the strongest teams for the championship.

[Leviathan.007]

United has absolutely no way that they could fight for the top four, I believe that it will not be anywhere near that level and they should not be considering that as an option neither. I think it's clear that we are going to end up with something that would be a little bit different and should be something that will look a bit differently. I hope that people could approach this subject clearly because United has shown everyone how terrible they are and because of that if you still have hopes about them then you are going to be pretty upset about it by the end of the season as well.

You should see what the yare showing you, and how terrible they are and then accept the fact that they are not going to do well at all. They will end u with a position that would be better than this for sure, but not much better, I am guessing a sixth place would be more than what they bargain for so far and I think would be the best thing they could do at this point as well.

We know how competitive English Premier League can be most times, definitely in the categories of one of the toughest league in European football. I wouldn't blamed Manchester United for poor performance this season because other elite teams are also experiencing it. United just have to stick to a particular game strategy that would work effectively for them and also signed the necessary players other than settling for lesser results. Manchester United are currently #10 on EPL table with a terrible performance this season. All fingers pointing to Erik Ten Hag for the poor condition of the Red Devils as he looks forward to ginger his team.

I think Erik Ten Hag pushes the boundaries too much. He was criticized a lot, especially after the Galatasaray defeat. Additionally, the expected performance from Onana was not achieved. Manchester United lost a lot of points because of Onana's individual mistakes. It's too bad they're in 10th place in the Premier League because the fans have no more patience.

Ten Hag made a huge mistake about De Gea and Onana in this season. They had De Gea while he was performing well in Manchester United and he was an experienced goalkeeper there but because of the good relationship between Ten Hag and Onana, Manchester United decided to hire Onana and they didn't extend the contract of De Gea. While Onana could perform well in MAcnshter United.
After the poor performance of Onana, now De Gea posted a picture of him training in Manchester which means this goalkeeper is still already to come back.

The London teams Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are two Premier League teams success get their unbeaten record until playing 8 matches, its seems excited due Arsenal and Spurs have faced with top fourth standings team from Manchester City for Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur defeated Liverpool. Current standings on Premier League, both teams between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have the same 20 points and Spurs managed top position awhile with more productivities goals than Arsenal with fewest conceded goals than Spurs.

Upcoming match, Tottenham  Hotspur seems has chance keep unbeaten record with Fulham as opponent team and looks doubt with Arsenal against Chelsea on next match will success keep their unbeaten record or not?

Yeah, Tottenham has the opportunity to secure the standings because they are playing at home while Arsenal had to play away against Chelsea who were on fire obviously this is not easy to predict but I still believe Arsenal will not lose, the worst thing that can happen is a draw. On the other hand, Manchester City will certainly continue to try to take over they will collect points to cover the bad results in the last few matches and Brighton are their next opponents, I think there is no problem there 3 points can be obtained.

Well, Man City should definitely be able to get 3 points in the coming week against Brighton. And likewise, Tottenham will most likely win 3 points again when facing Fullham. But the Arsenal vs Chelsea match might be a little difficult to predict. But betting on Arsenal is much better because Chelsea's inconsistent performance this season will certainly make everyone doubt. It's just that Chelsea was the host in this match and well, in the previous few matches, Chelsea had good results. So a draw might also happen. But still I am more inclined to favor Arsenal.

The games after the international break is still going to be tough, Totthenham escaped a draw last weekend against Luton,so I think their game against Fulham will end in a draw,while Manchester City will fight it so hard to win Brighton that normally disturb them,we shouldn't be surprised if Manchester City still lose in this particular encounter.They always find it very difficult to play Brighton who nomatter how good your team is,they must still have a way of taking half of your possession.Therefore,I still predict Mancity to lose in that one,while their rival Arsenal will win Chelsea with ease.I know Chelsea are beginning to gain some confidence,but not against a strong side like Arsenal who have won City,and still possess that confidence to win any team that comes their way in the premier league.
