Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Mr.right85]

Honestly, it sucks watching this Manchester United team everytime they play, look at Manchester City, they aren't at their best yet Manchester United are still shy to attack them. You have created enough chances but can’t convert them. I understand that injuries might be a factor but Injuries doesn’t mean Manchester United should not be able to hold ball rather than counter and long ball. They played the first half with no ideal plan. It was terrible to watch. I believe that if Manchester United can be able to attack this unorganized Manchester City side, they will score them. They’ve been creating, it’s left to convert them. I hope Ten Hag better come up with a different approach in this second half, because they Manchester United were playing poor in the first half.

What a mess for the red devils as they have conceded an early goal in two minutes of the second half, and it was also Halaad that scored again but this time he scored with a header as he was left alone after he received a cross.

I don't think that there is hope for United anymore as it will be very hard for them to equalize these two goals, because they are not just playing with any club but they are playing with the defending champions. I believe that the scoring has just begun for City from my observation. City has won all three points in this game.

[W Jr.]

Halaad has scored the first gaol for Manchester city with a penalty kick, after a foul was committed inside the box. Onana couldn't safe  the red devils this time.

I don't understand united in this match because it is like they are playing with panic and lack of understanding between united players. I believe that city will win this game from the look of things. United just lost a great opportunity of equalising the goal by Fernandez.

United 0-1 City.

I believe everyone should have known the result of this match even before the players mounted the pitch. Man U is not as such of old, they can't simply have the match for Man City even as Man City has reduced in form. Man U is not out of the woods, this is obvious, and even with recent developments, it seems it's getting worse for them. If this match continues the way they are currently playing it, it's possible that the Man U will concede at least 3 goals in this game. But still, I will not consider the penalty as a complete way to rate a team, Man U is still holding up well even if they do not impress, but they need to do more.

They should be thankful that Man City is not in their real form, by now, maybe they would have conceded many goals. A very good opening goal from Haaland to say the least as the first half is almost finished. There might be a lot of surprises in the second half from Man City if Man U is not careful.

In the last minute of the first half and extra time, Man United were playing as if they are about to equalize the goal but they missed the opportunity as Man City goalie punched the ball over the goal post. The second half is what will determine if Man United will conceive more goals or they will equalize the goal. I know that Man United is in a bad shape since the beginning of this season and I don't expect them winning this match or neither to draw the match. However this is football and it is full with surprises and I will be very surprised if Man United wins this game.

Manchester City increased the score to 2-0. Haaland scored a magnificent goal again, United's dreams are fading one by one. Manchester United have to be more careful after this match. After losing points in big matches, they lose their chances of being in the top ranks.

Man City deserved to win in a match like this, because from Erik Ten Hag strategy it can be seen that he played too much ball at the back, while Man City was very focused on controlling the ball and attacking. So it's not surprising that the gap is wide open and Man United has nothing in the front line or in the midfield.

Haaland activated his goal again, Man City played so freely, open and wide on all sides, able to press as they pleased. Surprisingly, Erik Ten Hag made no changes in the second half. Still as confident as Onana's build up method where the ball always has no clear direction.

[asriloni]

Halaad has scored the first gaol for Manchester city with a penalty kick, after a foul was committed inside the box. Onana couldn't safe  the red devils this time.

United 0-1 City.

Onana is a joke. This goal keeper was so bad and it's time for manchester united to re signed de gea again since he has been rumored to still stay at manchester at this moment. Manchester united puts meguire as starting line up and there were some moments when meguire was almost doing blunder in this match. Manchester united is also playing without casemiro which is also affecting the performance from united so much. I think that the result from this match is clear if manchester city is going to win the game against MU.
Grealish is comeback and MU has got a golden chance but it can be maximized by doing a proper finishing. I must be honest if onana was a bad goal keeper. I dunno why his performance is dropping drastically compared when he was still at intermilan.

It seems like that his performance being affected by the internal problem in manchester united or what? I can't even understand the way this goal keeper was protecting its goal net.
Ten hag needs to beg on glazer to give him more money to buy a new goal keeper in december.

No doubt that city has been the dominant factor here, they are the defending champion of the league, they have all the fire power, even in this game they've shown that prowess. But United has been on the defensive side even as a home team, if it was some other times, city would have been winning at two goals this first half with a lot of Dominance, but that's not the reality here, onana and the United defence has intensified some effort in pushing back the attacking force of city.

City were the favorites to win the game however when i saw the Manchester United line i had doubt if Manchester United would even be able to hold City attackers with a defense line made up of Lindelof, Johnny Evans, Maguire and Dalot, it looks so weak, however when the game started both teams performance was good for the 1st 20mins but Mancity got a free kick and Manchester United striker Hojlund was so careless with his defense to give City a penalty that gave them their first goal scored by Haaland.

 However Manchester united goalie Onana was very impressive today he's made alot of good saves though he couldn't save the penalty for United like he did against Copenhagen, well as usual Manchester City are more dominant in the match, they playing with more confidence like they're at home and Manchester United players look so tired and confused to the point they left a clear space for Haaland to get another goal around the 48th minute,Haaland has got a brace and could score a Hat-trick in the match.

In April 21, 2001 Alf-Inge Haaland, the father of Erling Haaland, who was playing for Manchest City,  received one of the worst injuries of all time from Roy Keane of Manchester United.  As a matter of fact,  many people are of the opinion that this injury ended his football career.

Fast forward to today, his son Erling Haaland is now a superstar in Manchester City, the club from where his father retired. From recent matches between Manchester United and Manchester City,  it is looking like Erling Haaland have come to revenge his father's injury. We can see it in today's match where he has scored the two goals of the cities and still showing willingness to score more.

Do you think it is possible that Haaland is on a revenge mission against Manchester United?

[Docnaster]

After starting the match on a good note, Manchester United unfortunately fell behind to Erling Haaland's first half penalty but since the start of the second half, United have been the second best in all areas on the pitch.
Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag is absolutely clueless of what to do at the moment and with Erling Haaland's second goal of the game, I don't think they can get anything away from this match. Manchester City is undoubtedly the better side and are comfortably cruising to victory in this game.

Is a very bad strategy for Manchester United how could they be playing with a big club like Manchester City and they will be playing with that strategy perhaps Erik Ten Hag should learn more from Pep Guardiola strategy because if you watch closely on Manchester City pattern of play is always on the attacking force.

Manchester City pattern of play is very nice and there players knows what to do on every circumstance and they have a very good attacking force and there line of defense.

Honestly I didn't expect Chelsea to lose points to Brentford yesterday. Even after seeing how they played in the first half I thought they would definitely win. They deserved it much more than Brentford but there is still a serious finishing problem at Chelsea side. Sterling and Jackson both were useless in this match.

After conceding the first goal it was very quick of them to lose their concentration on the match. It wasn't difficult to score the 2nd one for Brentford after that. I hope Nkunku returns as soon as possible because Chelsea just can't go on like this being too inconsistent about scoring.

This is what makes Chelsea look boring when we believe they will win but the opposite happens who would have thought that Chelsea would lose at home
Because we saw how Chelsea played in the last 3 matches, it looks convincing. Now we can't expect anything from Chelsea they are a team that cannot be predicted
So I guess this season Chelsea will finish in the top 8-10 unless they do something in the upcoming transfer window like bringing in new players again.

For myself, I have expected it, because I mark the team that experienced the biggest decline this season is Chelsea and also Manchester United, and yes Chelsea are included in the list, they do not have a player who has a lot of experience in their squad, new coaches may still adapt , their mentality is not good in competing, so for Brenford itself in terms of quality games today are a little better than Chelsea.

Yes, the previous three matches were quite good because they could win Mealwan Burnley, Fulham and could hold the Arsenal draw, if I could measure it, I thought it would be the starting point of the reversal of Chelsea to crawl back to the standings but it was not as strong as that.

Btw, Manchester Manchester City derby has been confirmed to win even though the match is not over, I don't think there will be any miracle for Manchester United in this match.

pep Guardiola's Manchester city side, making the Manchester United side looking weak this second half, after the first  double from Erling haaland and another goal from Phil foden to seal the victory for the citizens, what an amazing performance from the citizens, once again the sky is blue in the city of Manchester city, this means the race is gonna be very tight as Tottenham maintain their lead on the log of the table, I wonder how long that may take but I know it's certainly gonna be an interesting campaign this time around because it's not only about arsenal and Manchester city but now Tottenham are now involved in the title race, Manchester city have a lot to worry about especially with the absence of De Bruyne.

[Weawant]

Manchester city is performing excellently and deserves to win in this game I jus feel disappointed with the kind of performance Manchester united is putting up today as it just too poor for a home team, earlier in the first half I was thinking they would probably so better by the second half but they seem even worse in the second half, the midfield lacks coordination and they hardly get hold of the ball for.minutes.

Manchester city will eventually go home with  a complete point today and climb up the table with twenty four points directly behind the gunners, Manchester united was looking like they are on the path of improvement after the won their UCL game but this match has further exposed how weal they can be they are and still needs do so much of improvement if they must make it to the top four by the end of the season.

Because Manchester City players place their positions well and that way, it is difficult for Manchester United to make attacks in this match. So yes, it is not surprising that Manchester United more often only play the ball in their defense, because Manchester United has difficulty penetrating Manchester City's midfield line so yes, Manchester United has no chance to make a goal. Also about Haaland, I hope those who previously doubted Haaland get the truth in this match. Because anyway, Haaland is still very fertile and also, Haaland was able to make two goals and make an assist also in this match. Therefore, it is clear that Haaland is still doing well so far, and Haaland is still consistent with his goals too.

Btw, Manchester Manchester City derby has been confirmed to win even though the match is not over, I don't think there will be any miracle for Manchester United in this match.

After Foden's third goal, I turned off the streaming channel and said Manchester City's Manchester derby.
Losing three goals without reply will be a discussion that will continue for several days and in every discussion of this derby match, the main points that will be discussed are Manchester United's poor performance and the performance of a number of players who made mistakes, including those related to Erik ten Hag.

I don't want to make too many statements about the defeat that befell Manchester United and I don't want to find fault with anyone, be it players or coaches.

Even watching Manchester united match against  FC Copenhagen in the champions league last week you will know that Manchester united narrowly won that match even when they had so many chances to win the match with a huge margin but yet they couldn't make use of their chances.

Manchester united match with Manchester city match today isn't even competitive like I thought it would be because the two teams are England derby, but however their match today was just one sided as Manchester city influence in this match can't be overemphasized even with the Injuries that some key players of Manchester city has it didn't even show that they were lacking any player in this match. Manchester coach Erik Ten Haag still have alot of work to do in other to build united team.

Manchester United and Chelsea are just following each other each week. I do not know which of the two teams is poorest right now. The penalty in the first half which was awarded by VAR changed the game and made Manchester City become more confident to attack, but it was the same kind of similar tackle that Gabriel had on Hojlund during the Manchester United and Arsenal game, but got away with it. These decisions are not consistent and they make predicting outcomes of some tackles made in the penalty box. Manchester United had some chances to score in the first half, they did not use their chances and they were punished.

[Falconer]

Do you think it is possible that Haaland is on a revenge mission against Manchester United?

No, Haaland does not have a revenge mission for Manchester United and he seems to only be playing for himself even though he always remembers the story of his father who retired due to a serious injury. Haaland is of course in a different era to his father, so if he wants revenge by beating Manchester United with a goal, it's not revenge but just trying to prove that he can always be relied on when competing with Manchester United.

This week there are 5 top teams who have managed to maintain their best performance. Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and Aston Villa are in good form at the moment. Tottenham and Arsenal are the strongest teams who are unbeaten in the first 10 matches, while Manchester City, who just won the derby match, have suffered 2 defeats in the last 4 matches in the Premier League. The title competition will be very interesting if these 5 teams are able to maintain their best form throughout this season.

Finally got to smile  today. Revenge? This is a joke. Erling Haaland is busy enjoying himself, he has nothing to do with revenge how do y'all see football?
Jack Grealish should have been carded for interfering into the issue between Amrabat and Foden. Is Amrabat even a typical Manchester United player? Man has been nodd for games now. Same goes with Hojlund, and Marcus Rashford they're not useful to Manchester United.

Congratulations to Manchester City Pep Guardiola's team, they really deserve the win tonight. They played better. Short of words. Manchester United are no fit to match Manchester City. Bye!

[Stable090]

Honestly, it sucks watching this Manchester United team everytime they play, look at Manchester City, they aren't at their best yet Manchester United are still shy to attack them.

Manchester United were just scared. I knew the match was going to be an easy win for Manchester City. We all can see the way Manchester United have been performing poorly. We know Manchester City are not at their best, but I can say they are better than Manchester United.  The match just looks like Manchester City played against a small team. Manchester United defense was so weak and Manchester City was able to penetrate it easily. If not for Onana, Manchester United would have conceded more than 3 goals in the match. Manchester City played well in today’s match, even with some of their players being absent and they playing at Old Trafford, they still played well.

If it's comparing Manchester united and Chelsea, I did say that from all indication, Manchester united is sure playing better than Chelsea, atleast the EPL confirms this as Manchester united currently have 15 points while Chelsea is still sitting at 12 points.

I would say that I expected nothing less from this game today, there was never a time Manchester united was going to beat Manchester city, atleast, not in this season and not with Manchester united's current form or performance, I am not surprised that Manchester city beat man united 3 goals to nothing, from the onset, I have personally expected the game to be an easy win for city, though I did hoped for a surprise which didnt come, unfortunately.
