Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[fuguebtc]

After the last 2 matches must lose, Manchester City will host Brighton in the upcoming match. Brighton also has the status of not an easy opponent to beat, they play well even though the last 2 matches they also struggled and had to lose and draw. Manchester City must not underestimate them in this match, if they do then Brighton has the potential to give them 3 defeats in a row. The absence of KDB affects their attack line, yes now they are a little difficult in building attacks and providing passes that spoil their attackers.

Both Manchester City and Brighton appreciate the match, but for different reasons. Manchester City must revive their campaign to maintain title chances after recent losses, including a 3-2 loss to Liverpool. Although struggling in recent matches, Brighton recently won 1-0 over Tottenham Hotspur and are showing great fight. They must prove something, and what better way than against a quality team like Manchester City?

Manchester City's aggressive front is hampered by Kevin De Bruyne's absence, making it easier for Brighton to cling on. Key players like Lewis Dunk and Neal Maupay are suspended, but will return for the final day travel to Arsenal. This might put Brighton in a difficult position to replace these vacancies. In the away league, the Seagulls have never won versus City, which increases their odds of losing​3.

Brighton's recent run of ties and losses with one win suggests inconsistency. Possible lineup changes due to injuries and bans complicate Brighton's strategy for the game. Despite their recent form, many foresee a 3-0 or 2-0 win for Manchester City.

I'm not seeing manchester City win this encounter,they are going to lose three consecutive premier league matches.They are playing Brighton,and with recent records,City finds it very difficult to win against Brighton.They are normally scared of playing them,and with the fact that Debruyne will not be playing that game will give an edge to Brighton in the encounter.Meanwhile,City will be looking forward to bouncing back from their two defeats against Wolves and Arsenal,and would maximise the players they have to fill in the void left by Debruyne and other injured players at the team.If Brighton should win this game,it will definitely demoralize City,and will make other premier league teams fight more hard to win the reigning champions.

First of all, Brighton is performing really well. After all, it is not easy at all to actually beat a team like Liverpool. Well they did not beat Liverpool but for Liverpool, it must have felt like a defeat. Liverpool needed to win the match against Brighton, but the match ended in a draw. Now we all know that Manchester City has not been performing well recently.  That is definitely a problem. I personally do not believe that Manchester City is going to lose this match.

But with the type of performance that Manchester City has shown recently, I think it is not going to be actually dumb to think that Manchester City might lose this match. Right now in my head, I see this match Ending as a draw. But again, we are talking about Manchester City.

If Chelsea really beats Arsenal in the next game, I think it could finally be the beginning of something good for Chelsea. They have had a good game away with a 4-1 win and if they can continue beating Arsenal in the next one, that could be a sign of recovery for the club. Although it would be way too early to say that problems have been solved and things have been fundamentally changed, but it would be an important sign to the players themselves but also to everyone who is still cheering for the club. Most of the other games on the next matchday are not that exciting I think.

Winning is all manager's priority for their perspective teams, no time to take chances. Arsenal had a close escape after defeating Manchester City 1 nil at Emirates Stadium, alongside the Gunners were fired upward about competing for the EPL crown this season. The journey to Stamford Bridge comes next, with Chelsea hosting Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. I'm excited about Chelsea and Arsenal's current form, as both teams have won their previous two games, which is a strong start for both teams. I would not wager on the game because it is tricky to anticipate the outcome of the game.

What you call a close escape is what I call a superb performance. No team in the Premier League can expect to beat Manchester City, but if they do they can't expect to do so by a big margin. I was quite sure that this would be a tightrope act for whatever team takes the lead because both Arsenal and Manchester City are able to raise the pressure and strike back until the very last moment. That's why I think that in maybe 2 or 3 months I expect Arsenal and Manchester City to lead the table and compete with each other on eye-level. But maybe Tottenham remains the surprise that they have been so far and turn into a title contender.

[Bobrox]

I am sure that City will return to their best performance even though De Bruyne is certain to be absent for quite a long time. With the defeat against Arsenal, Pep will improve the performance of his team and even patent his flagship system. I mean, Pep Guaridola doesn't plan for his squad to lose again in the next matches. After all, as you said, this season is still in its early stages. Also, I tend to see Pep experimenting more with his system and player rotation. In the next match, they will display the full squad when playing match after match.
Against Arsenal, Pep could actually play other player options. However, it seems that he only wants to maximize and measure the abilities of his players.

Talking about the match against Brighton, it looks like Pep will be serious when he hosts De Zerbi's squad. Pep doesn't have any problems with his players, only De Bruyne will be out for a long time. What is certain is that City is not a team like other opponents.  Most likely, Guardiola will implement the system he relies on. They will get full points in the match against Brighton. even though De Zerbi's squad is a team that often causes trouble when playing against big teams. but when they visited the Etihad Stadium, it was not an easy match. Even on paper, City has a high probability of winning this match.

Two matches loss in a row on Premier League become bad reputation for Pep Guardiola despite he has reason with several important player absent such as Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri, its looks Pep Guardiola scheme not running well some player replacement can't give more contribution for Manchester City exactly with Erling Haaland can't scoring goals in last two matches when Manchester City defeated by Wolves and Arsenal.

Brighton Albion is not weakness opponent team for Manchester City on upcoming match, although with Brighton not consistent performance but their achievement success hold draw Liverpool on last match become warning for Manchester City will get their third loss in Premier League. Bad reputation for Pep Guardiola for first time he got loss two matches in a row when becoming Manchester City manager, he should make Man City return to their best performance if want keep fighting for first standings position with Spur and Arsenal.

[bayu7adi]

Chelsea's chances against Arsenal are indeed not very high, but do not forget that this will be a London derby, and in such matches unexpected results are possible. In addition, it seems that Chelsea are starting to find their game in recent matches, so the match for Arsenal may not be so easy, even though they beat City in the last round.

Several prominent media outlets have reported that Chelsea is beginning to exude a newfound sense of confidence. However, we have yet to witness Chelsea's recent performances reach their zenith. Indeed, they have secured victories in their last three matches, but, in my view, this may not be sufficient to overcome a team currently operating at its peak, such as Arsenal. Though the match is scheduled to take place in ten days, Chelsea's self-assuredness will be immediately put to the test by the formidable opponent.

Should Chelsea falter against Arsenal, I fear that Sterling and his compatriots may once again find themselves in a downward spiral. However, if an unexpected outcome unfolds, wherein Chelsea emerges victorious over Arsenal, it could serve as a powerful catalyst for Chelsea's true resurgence after a two-season slumber.

[jeha2015]

Yeah if City becomes confident again and becomes consistent then they will again start to gain up the pace. Season is still in early stages so they have a lot of time to cover the gap. It is the matter of who is more consistent with the form and strong teams manage to cover that over the time. With injuries, this might affect so manager also has to make sure he manages his options wisely so that team doesn't gets in difficult position in later stages of the season.

Brighton are a very strong underdogs. Underdogs isn't the right word to use for them but surely we can't underestimate them with the form they are in right now.

A very good example is last season when Arsenal could have easily been champions but City surprisingly managed to dislodge them from the top spot... So I agree that at the beginning of the season teams just adjust and make their game... As for Brighton, they can really make a surprise in the match against City, both good and bad...

The last meeting between Brighton vs Man City ended in a draw, this shows that Man City should not consider Brigthon as a weak team. It is true that the next EPL League match will be played at Man City's home ground, but considering that important players are still injured such as KDB and Rodri, this has a big impact on Man City's performance, as evidenced by Man City's defeat in several of the last EPL matches they lost. with the Wolves team. Who would have thought that Wolves could beat Manchester City last week?

So, it is also possible that Brighton will also do the same thing to Manchester City if they make mistakes and underestimate their opponents.

[baeva]

I think this defeat to Arsenal will be remembered and talked about many times, but as you pointed out, it's only the start of the season and it was a very even game. Don't forget that neither MC nor Arsenal are currently top of the table, and Tottenham could well be another contender in the race for the championship.

In addition, it seems that Chelsea are starting to find their game in recent matches, so the match for Arsenal may not be so easy, even though they beat City in the last round.

English Premier League comes with numerous actions this season, watching elite teams clashes together. I'm prepared to place wager on the game, it will be in favour of Gunners because they seem more competitive than the Blues who are just recovering and entering the top competitive race for EPL title. There's more options to explore but I'll stick with a draw, on the othe hand, Blues wouldn't keen on losing at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea vs Arsenal after international break would be one of the pending big game to watch. Mauricio Pochettino meeting Mikel Arteta again, but this time in a new team and no longer in Spurs shirt.

Two matches loss in a row on Premier League become bad reputation for Pep Guardiola despite he has reason with several important player absent such as Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri, its looks Pep Guardiola scheme not running well some player replacement can't give more contribution for Manchester City exactly with Erling Haaland can't scoring goals in last two matches when Manchester City defeated by Wolves and Arsenal.

I am pretty certain that this is just a lapse in concentration for Manchester City. They are capable of performing well. And certainly better compared to what they did in the last two matches. Whether Manchester City is going to win the next match or not, it is definitely up for debate. Especially with them losing the last two matches. But I believe they are going to win the next match which they are very much capable of. And because they lost the last two matches, I expect that they are going to go with their full strength to win the next match.

[Salahmu]

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.

Yeah that was the Arsenal strategy on that match they were playing a defensive game and it really work for them, Pep Guardiola has really thought Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta very well, he has known that Manchester City has more greater performance than Arsenal and the only strategy to counter there plan is through defensive play.

If you check on there possession Manchester city has more good number of possessions than Arsenal but with there defensive strategy Manchester city was finding it a bit difficult to break, although with the performance of Manchester city on that  match I never believe Arsenal will be able to beat them.

But if De Bruyne and Rodri was on that match it would have been very difficult for the Arsenal team because De Bruyne is a playmaker of Manchester city and whenever he is not there the team easily get affected.

[un_rank]

...although with Brighton not consistent performance but their achievement success hold draw Liverpool on last match become warning for Manchester City...

Brighton have not been inconsistent at all. They are in sixth position, four points away from the top after 8 games. This is a very impressive start for a team that was just recently promoted to the league and do not have the spending power of the top placed teams. They have also had a tough run of fixtures in the league, after 8 games they have already faced Liverpool, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Manchester United and West Ham, 5 of the teams in the top half of the table. 16 points out of a possible 24 is a very good showing for them.

Manchester City will be their toughest opponents yet in the league. They have what it takes to take the game to City and match them in the middle of the pitch for possession play. One thing is certain, we will have a beautiful match to feast on.

After the last 2 matches must lose, Manchester City will host Brighton in the upcoming match. Brighton also has the status of not an easy opponent to beat, they play well even though the last 2 matches they also struggled and had to lose and draw. Manchester City must not underestimate them in this match, if they do then Brighton has the potential to give them 3 defeats in a row. The absence of KDB affects their attack line, yes now they are a little difficult in building attacks and providing passes that spoil their attackers.

I see no chance of underestimating the Brighton team. This team is now the top scorer in the Premier League. They scored 21 goals in 8 matches. and  Manchester City made 17. So it's easy to see that Brighton's attack is in great form right now. However  Brighton's main weakness is their defence. The team  conceded 16 goals in 8 matches. And  due to poor defense, the team lost points in the last two matches. And I think Manchester City coach Guardiola will be able to break down Brighton's  weak defense very well. Guardiola is a very experienced coach. However, just like City played defensively against Arsenal in the last match, Manchester City will lose this match too if they play against Brighton.

Well said. Mancity is likely to lose that match they they play defensively like they did against Arsenal. One mistake that Guardiola will make in this match too is by allowing Brighton net the ball in the first instance. That I feel will reduce the fear the club may have over Man City and develop more confidence for them to score more goals. An opportunity that should be strongly avoided by Pep in the first place. I know Brighton for one thing. Their ability to score goals with their forward.
Now, Guardiola must face them squarely and ensure that they break their defense through his professionalism which I believe won't be difficult for them. Immediately the players are able to understand the pattern of their opposition, it makes it easier for them to win over the opposition. On the other hand, if Brighton wins this match. Man city will lose the 3 points and will drop down the table again.

you are right, Manchester City's chances of winning will be reduced if Brighton players score the first goal of the match. The reason for this is  that if they score the first goal,  brighton players will become more confident. Even so, the attack portion of the eruption is very strong. And so if Brighton's players are confident and attack a lot, it will be very difficult for Manchester City's players to control  the match. So  Guardiola must apply a new match strategy in this match. Manchester City should dominate the match from the beginning of the match. Otherwise it will not be possible to win against Brighton. Brighton is  a strong team. If City lose points in this match too, it will be much more difficult for City to get back to the top of the table.

[SmartCharpa]

In my opinion, if Man United want to perform well, they should play Ambrabat in midfield with Casemiro behind Bruno. I'm sure Man United's game will be balanced and Casemiro will help in the attacking sector, it doesn't matter because there is Ambrabat.

For Onana, he is the type of goalkeeper who needs a solid defender or back line, for Ten Hag, don't rush into playing build up from the bottom because Man United's defense is not yet strong. If you want to play build up in the middle of the season, buy a defender with a midfielder who is used to building up. This strategy must be strengthened slowly one by one, don't suddenly change the playing scheme to a game that the players are not used to, as is happening now, they concede a lot and often lose.

I don't have to say this, but I must say it because I think the coach is just during rubbish and a coach like him deserve to be sack, I mean instead of him to be playing,Bruno alongside with Casemiro, and Amrabat in the midfield then for the left wing back. I think McTominay can manage from the left wing back as both Shaw and Reguilon are not available for now, because I think that is we're he normally play for his national team. and for Casemiro I think a kind of a defensive midfield like him need someone that can hold ball in that midfield and if you doubt me of this you should try and watch man united against crystal palace in FA Cup highlight. and you will see the best of him.

And Onana on the other hand i think is problem is from the center backs because I think is center backs are not strong enough for him to be keeping clean sheets and he is a kind of a goalkeeper that needs a defenfenders with a full confidence and i don't think that  varane have that in him.

[QueenVera]

you are right, Manchester City's chances of winning will be reduced if Brighton players score the first goal of the match. The reason for this is  that if they score the first goal,  brighton players will become more confident. Even so, the attack portion of the eruption is very strong. And so if Brighton's players are confident and attack a lot, it will be very difficult for Manchester City's players to control  the match. So  Guardiola must apply a new match strategy in this match. Manchester City should dominate the match from the beginning of the match. Otherwise it will not be possible to win against Brighton. Brighton is  a strong team. If City lose points in this match too, it will be much more difficult for City to get back to the top of the table.

If City lose another game after the international break then I'll begin to doubt if they'll be able to defend their title, well Brighton might not be compared  to  City in anything but they can be very dangerous if they want to be and could cause alot of problem for them like they did against liverpool and Manchester United, well City is currently the best team in the EPL and though their performance in their past games are not okay but would be though beating them.

 The least Brighton could do  in the match is to try get a draw out of the game by any possible means cause Pep wouldn't want to lose 2 consecutive games and would try as much as possible to make sure his team delivers.

Though the match is scheduled to take place in ten days, Chelsea's self-assuredness will be immediately put to the test by the formidable opponent.

If we talk about confidence, Arsenal is more confident because they have just beaten the favorite team to win the EPL, namely Man City. Even though Chelsea is in good condition, I am optimistic that Arsenal will win this derby match, because Chelsea this season has not proven capable of beating strong teams with their unstable performance so far. In contrast to Arsenal, which often wins when they meet big teams, Arsenal usually take advantage of this moment consistently.

Should Chelsea falter against Arsenal, I fear that Sterling and his compatriots may once again find themselves in a downward spiral. However, if an unexpected outcome unfolds, wherein Chelsea emerges victorious over Arsenal, it could serve as a powerful catalyst for Chelsea's true resurgence after a two-season slumber.

Of course Chelsea will try their best to achieve victory, at least being able to hold Arsenal to a draw. The reason is that Chelsea currently have not found chemistry with each other as players, Chelsea only relies on Sterling as Chelsea's backbone, whenever he is in his best condition, Chelsea tends to win the match.

Why not get you CV and go apply for the Manchester United job? If you consider yourself a better option than him, why not mail him your ideas and tactics rather than all these criticisms. You think it's easy to be a coach?
Your so called formation will never win a game... Football has evolved and you come up with a defensive formation when you should be attacking

Mc Tominay scoring doesn't give him quick access into the squad. He'll have to work hard.

Onana has already a poor statistics, he should start making good contributions else he'll be forced to be dropped. Off course he doesn't wants that, with the African Cup of Nations Competition approaching.

[Asiska02]

Manchester City has not really been the same without Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri. The absence of De Bruyne is noticed in their gameplay. While I think they’re still in good form and still very much a strong contender for winning the title again this season.
Arsenal has also notably improved a considerable lot from last season and they’re also in good form, playing better football. This is evident in their games. I think it says a lot when playing against Manchester City and they find it difficult to score a goal.

Manchester City are completely in for the EPL title race this season, these defeats are setbacks that would be comprehended in due time. Pep Guardiola is definitely thinking outside the box, and we should expects the very impossible tasks he would take next. Pep Guardiola is totally different from other EPL managers, more reason he's the best  because he's always one step ahead of all his opponents, triggering for the very best results. Pep will work on his squad  and ensured they will be able to adapt without these players become what City often do is replacing their key players with backup ones just to blend them in.

Pep Guardiola is a very tactical man and his ways are always different and one step ahead of others. Their defeat to Arsenal will not in anyway affect their fight for the title race. I fear that they may comeback stronger than before after this break. Manchester City are known to be persevered and won’t give up until their last game in the season. When the existing first XI players are now becoming weak or opponents begin to understand their style of play, they usually use their backup players to replace them and win games for them. Pep Guardiola is use to doing this and I expect him to do the same even now if he has no other option on how to penetrate and win matches in the coming features.

[HajiBagi]

After the last 2 matches must lose, Manchester City will host Brighton in the upcoming match. Brighton also has the status of not an easy opponent to beat, they play well even though the last 2 matches they also struggled and had to lose and draw. Manchester City must not underestimate them in this match, if they do then Brighton has the potential to give them 3 defeats in a row. The absence of KDB affects their attack line, yes now they are a little difficult in building attacks and providing passes that spoil their attackers.

Although it is common for a team to lose, I don't think Manchester City will want to repeat the same error twice in a row. The squad will be aware of their bad play, thus even if it is normal for a team to lose, it is also extremely painful. Manchester City lost to two teams this season, and I believe that will be one of the most upsetting things in their minds going forward because they always see themselves as a team that no one can beat. Manchester City is the best team in the Premier League, and they have good players who are very good at scoring goals, but I'm not sure what is going on with them right now.

The match between Manchester City and Brighton will be one of those that will be interesting to watch because Brighton is also a team that has good performances, even though they occasionally lose, but their performances occasionally surprise many people, because if we look at Brighton's match against Liverpool, they truly care about the game and almost want to defeat Liverpool, Brighton has a lot of young players who are very smart, and they also have one of the best players from Barcelona, known to us all as ansu Fati, among them. If Manchester City did not play carefully and well against Brighton, Brighton would defeat them or end the game in a draw.

Pep Guardiola is use to doing this and I expect him to do the same even now if he has no other option on how to penetrate and win matches in the coming features.

I also expect Manchester City to start a winning streak after the break. The loss to Arsenal was a significant loss for them, but it was a predictable one. After all, Manchester City only loses three or four games at most in a season and this was one of them. It's bad that they lost to their direct rivals, but they can make up for it by winning their other matches.
When things get tough, Pep's tactical genius shines through. They play especially well at the end of the season. By remaining very strong mentally, Manchester City establishes a psychological advantage over their rivals. If there is a good winning streak after the losses at the beginning of the league, it won't be that important.

[Abu-Naim]

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.

That match was a tactical match from two tacticians. Arteta has understand the errors Pep and Manchester City were waiting for just as they did against Arsenal last season home and away, Arsenal played very well but small error gave Manchester City the chance to score Arsenal, that was Arteta avoided in the match that is why the match looks annoying because it seems like both the teams were defending their home; and at end, Arsenal were lucky to win the match.

Arsenal is will now remain the tough opponent for Manchester City and will be the only team alongside with Tottenham that will likely win the Premier League this season.

[RockBell]

Arsenal 2nd on the table with a tremendous display against the Champions Man City, so much attacking force without letting the Citizens hold on to the ball both up front and on the defense. Gabriel Jesus did very well in that game and he has come out to say he has discussed his preferred position with the manager Mikel Arteta Amatriain which is as a 9, and I was like number 9? I don't see him doing pretty well on that attacking line but playing as a false 9 or a winger would be better. Even when he played for Pep I think he didn't play as a number 9, outside that position he did well but why now does he have to choose when they have Edward Keddar Nketiah that's doing fine in that position? To me I think he should play from the wing to help out Trossard when he doesn't meet up expectations, it is either as a false 9 or a winger for Jesus.

Arsenal is trying to fix themselves and put their head in the game that is what they should have done a very long time ago even in their game against Manchester City they already had a plan of holding Arsenal to play draw with them and eventually arsenal got lucky and scored and with arsenals win have placed them on the second.and none of their defense strategies worked. Since his return, Gabriel Jesus has shown signs of improvement. and a winger offers him an advantage in his play. Gabriel is attempting because he was not given much attention while at Manchester City, and he is doing his best at Arsenal. And, as you suggested, he should stay on the wing to assist Trossard. Asenal will be facing chelsea soon and its another bonus for arsenal to win.
