Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[indah rezqi]

It's getting to the time that the match between Manchester city and Manchester united won't be a rivalry but a big team against a small team. This Manchester derby is fast becoming a no contest they where outclassed like how it has been so far.
Halaand impressed me today unlike how he has played this season and it was an embarrassing show from Manchester united losing by three goals without any reply is really unheard off. I don't see how Manchester united would make the top four this season.

Man City success in winning three points at Old Trafford is worthy of appreciation, Halaand and Foden were the decisive winners for Pep squad. However, we shouldn't just underestimate Man United by calling it a small team, that's the same as forgetting Man City defeat to Wolves just like that, we are certainly surprised that a team that holds the status of defending EPL and UCL champions can also be defeated by a mediocre club. So I think the ups and downs in performance are very natural, we have got an idea of the journey of the two clubs in their previous matches.

From another point of view, if you look at the budget spent by Ten Hag in the transfer market, United should have performed better than they are currently. But we also have examples of other clubs, such as Chelsea, which has had more or less the same fate as The Red Devils squad this season. Overall, it could be said that they are having difficulty reaching the top four at the end of the season, but it is still too early and the journey has not yet reached half of the season.

Of course, Manchester United knew that it will not be an easy match for them because Manchester City cannot afford to lose the match since they don't want to go far behind Tottenham, and they want to keep their consistency so that Arsenal will not ahead of them with some points and they achieve their aim because they played well and were lucky to win the match.
Kudos to Onana because he made some saves to limit Manchester City's goals, and kudos to Rodry for controlling the midfield and giving his maximum effort to the team and leading them to victory.

Manchester United could not do much to prevent Manchester City from winning at Old Trafford. Manchester City, who have lost 6 points in the last 5 matches, were really eager to win 3 points at Old Trafford, and they did it perfectly.

Manchester City is superior in many ways from the way they play and their game statistics. They built a lot of attacks, created a lot of dangerous chances and also had higher ball possession. Ten Hag didn't manage to find a solution to even score 1 goal at home, so it was a shame defeat for him. Now Manchester City is only 2 points away from Tottenham, while they have the same points as Arsenal. Next week's games look tough for Arsenal, Newcastle, Chelsea and also Tottemham, so I hope the standings will change.

The England derby was interesting as I hoped it would. It was even better than I anticipated. It's just sad how Manchester United lacked control even at home. I would not blame them though, because they even managed to get a goal from one of the most talked about defender, Maguire, in their last champions league match against Copahengen.
Manchester city needed more goals to stay on top of Arsenal who is leading by an early goal advantage on the premier league table. Am glad they didn't get to tally Arsenal in this one.

[3meek]

City managed to humiliate Man U... It probably didn't surprise anyone, but I thought Man U would do something... I thought they could score a goal, but they didn't... Congratulations to all Man City fans on the win...

I'm not surprise on what really happened on the match today. Although I expected at least ManU should score a goal but I know they can hardly win the match.

Ten Hag needs to step up in matches like this because it is always a shameful thing to lose a derby match at home without scoring a single goal, and Manchester City has been statistically winning Manchester United both home and away in the previous seasons.

Arsenal will be playing against West Ham United, while Tottenham will be playing against Chelsea. These two matches are all London derbies, which means it will not be an easy match for them all; there will be a possibility for any of them to lose points, but I will like them both to keep their consistency.

[QueenVera]

The Premier League is now tough after ten matches. Tottenham is playing very impressively, as they are now leading the table with two points ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal, and Chelsea and Manchester United are still struggling to get consistency because the league is now tough and every team is making an effort to get a good performance in the league.

Tottenham Hotspur took everyone by suprise this season all thanks to their new coach Postecoglou, they invested little financially and are doing the most unlike some teams that's invested alot with little performance to show for it, well Manchester City and Arsenal are also performing and those are the three clubs that are contending for the title race and im pretty sure that one of them would win the league this season.

 These are worst times for both Chelsea and Manchester United, Chelsea especially cause they spent alot this season but there's nothing much to show for it, well i think it's because of the injury crisis both teams have faced at the beginning of the season that's affecting them but also i feel it's poor decision making from both clubs managers and mismanagement from their board that's making them to performance poorly.

[borovichok]

To start with, Ten Hag don't have any more tactics and strategy to use anymore it's now a trial and fail ten hag tactics. Why will he pair Maguire and Evans at the CB there was no aggressiveness in the pairing Haalland was always free inside the box as there was no close marking,  and the midfield with Bruno and Erikson was total zero. Manchester City outplayed the midfield there was no fighting back or challenging spirit from United making the match a dull Manchester Derby with City doing all the playing and scoring.

Wrong line-up and you expects to win? Manchester united fans chanting ETH OUT won't help the present conditions of the team, there's alot of changes that needs to be done. Manchester derby was an interesting game with amazing actions from City in Old Trafford. I must say, alot of things went wrong on United side, they couldn't contend the game, losing the ball easily and their inability to net a goal with the few chances created, Manchester United a finish club. However Manchester City is the best team in England and playing against deform Man UTD was just more preferable to training.

[ShowOff]

City managed to humiliate Man U... It probably didn't surprise anyone, but I thought Man U would do something... I thought they could score a goal, but they didn't... Congratulations to all Man City fans on the win...

Of course, that's the congratulations every Manchester City fan deserves. Pep Guardiola looked really happy with today's win and his expression after the match really showed how happy he was with his team's performance. Manchester City won 3 important points to get closer to Tottenham, but they must be able to maintain this consistency if they still want to maintain their chances of retaining the title.

This is a difficult season for Manchester City especially because Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool are really able to provide the best competition. Manchester City have suffered two defeats to Wolves and Arsenal, so of course they will try to make amends by winning more games.

[Queentoshi]

Arsenal will be playing against West Ham United, while Tottenham will be playing against Chelsea. These two matches are all London derbies, which means it will not be an easy match for them all; there will be a possibility for any of them to lose points, but I will like them both to keep their consistency.

The Arsenal game against West Ham is not a premier league fixture. Arsenal's next game in the premier league is against Newcastle United, and that will be a serious game too. Arsenal and Manchester City are on the same points and will have to play Newcastle and Bournemouth respectively. Manchester City have an easier fixture and are more assured of victory than Arsenal are. Arsenal will take their game seriously so that they do not lose that hold on the second position behind Tottenham to Manchester City.

Watching the post match interview with Ten hag will make one to believe that he's not serious at all. I don't know what he meant by this statement during his interview "the execution of the game plan was very good". What was good about today's game? Or is the plan about losing the game at home? I don't really get the message clearly. Manchester United are playing clumsy football. No partnership, no pressure, no positional awareness, no compactness, no foreseeable penetrative passes, no organisation at all levels. It's not encouraging to watch at all. I think it's time to allow Rashford to rest a bit.
The club's top striker, Rashford, has one goal out of 10 league games. The overall club top scorer has 3 goals and the club has negative goals -5 in ten games while it has conceded more than 27 goals and it struggles to win the most bottom club Sheffield. It's a bad record for manchester united.

[SOKO-DEKE]

This season really look so bad and unpredictable for the Blues. Both the fans and players might be disappointed at the outcome of this match. I guess its bookies weekend once again.

I don't really know what is currently going wrong with Chelsea they they are performing weakly like this. If I were to say something about their players, I believe Chelsea is currently holding some quality players who are even far better than some team players performing well this season, especially teams like Aston Villa, West Ham, and Brighton, so I am really surprised that the Chelsea squad is full of talented players but still performing weakly. So I don't know where the problem with their poor performances is now coming from. It will not be a good idea to spend the money Chelsea spent this season and continue this poor performance. With this situation, even the coach will be confused about which players he should go for now because, with this set of players, Chelsea is now supposed to be able to fight for the top four this season.
 

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are two Premier League teams keep extending with their unbeaten record and the London teams dominance in first and second position

I am not much surprised that Arsenal is still unbeating for now because even last season they performed well, but Tottenham is the only team that is surprising me with their performances because I never expected these great performances from Tottenham this season, especially because of Kane, who is no longer in the squad, and again, because they did sign world-class players. Seriously, Tottenham is performing more than people expected, and with this Tottenham form currently and these 10 matches unbeaten, I believe they are fighting for the league, not the top four as a lot of people may be thinking.

[execijutiere]

West Ham have been doing well in the league but in recent weeks they have been in poor form. Today they lost at home to Everton, perhaps one of the worst teams in the league at the moment. Although they had more of the ball, they struggled to find goals.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, continue to crush their opponents one by one. They easily defeated Luton Town, a team that I think will probably be among the teams that will be relegated this year.

[Issa56]

City managed to humiliate Man U... It probably didn't surprise anyone, but I thought Man U would do something... I thought they could score a goal, but they didn't... Congratulations to all Man City fans on the win...

I wasn't surprised with the Manchester City win, but I was just expecting the match to be a tough one for Manchester City since some of their players will be absent in the match, which is going to have an impact on Manchester City. But the match was just too easy for Manchester City. I was really impressed by Manchester City's performance today. Manchester United was humiliated today at Old Trafford. I wasn't expecting Manchester City to be able to score three goals in the match. Haaland played well today, and he was able to score two goals for Manchester City. Let's see how Ten Hag will be able to fix the current problem Manchester City is having.

[Franctoshi]

I must say, alot of things went wrong on United side, they couldn't contend the game, losing the ball easily and their inability to net a goal with the few chances created, Manchester United a finish club. However, Manchester City is the best team in England and playing against Deformed Man UTD was just preferable to training.

I never expected Manchester United to do a Miracle in this game despite that they played at home, Talking about their last 6 H2H meetings with Man-city, and when it comes strength to strength with City, plus having seen Manchester United's poor performance in the premier league and both the champion league when it to that angle of comparison, It is an error to think that United would have won in today's game.

If all three teams play against each other, I think there will be a winner. I think a draw is only possible if both teams play extreme defebsive, which they do not. With players like Haaland you play offensive and thats why you can win 3:0 against United. The Premier League is the best league in the world and they dont play defensive like in Italy. Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and City are currently the first teams in the league and they will play to win when they play against each other.

Congratulations again to Man City.
Even though recently many people might have said that Man United would not be easy to play against, especially since they were playing at Old Trafford, not to mention because previously Man City had also lost to Arsenal, perhaps some people doubted Man City when facing Man United. Some might also thought that Man United could play powerfully against top clubs like this. if it was the old Man United, it might be possible. but it's really different now. Man City's landslide victory against Man United really proves that they are indeed much stronger on various lines. Pep also manages and trains his team very precisely. There is quite a difference between the squad strengths of the two clubs. Man United really has to try harder, it seems like Ten Hag's job is much harder and has to be more significant.

Manchester united have so much problem and I don't know how soon they will resolve it and get back on track fully, soonest fans and everyone will loose confidence in ten hag and he may likely loose his job soon if he doesn't improve his tactics and get the team back on track. Especially when they meet with Manchester city they always seem to be too scared to play well with them let alone win them.


Soon it will happen that Manchester united will be struggling amongst the small teams in the premier league if they continually perform in this manner. Manchester city is looking so promising to be the champions of the premier league this season although they are yet to be at the top but I think they are currently on the race which is currently between Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester city as they are currently occupying the top four position on the table.

I think Manchester united failed to improve their front line in last season transfer window because it was so clear that their front line this season was so barren. So it is very difficult for them to achieve victory if they are not able to complete every opportunity to goal. Yes, just look at Hojlund statistic, where He has played 7 match in the Premier league but he has not managed to score a single goal. Of course, this is a gap that Erik ten hag has to think about.

Well, today defeat was also very embarrassing because Maiguire et al were embarrassed by Manchester city at the Old Trafford Stadium. It seems like Old trafford is no longer so haunted for the visiting team because it was so easy for them to steal points at Manchester united headquarters. And for Manchester city they are very strong this season but they also have to maintain their best form in every match so they don't lose any more points.

Man United performed like a mediocre team, he even played worse than a mediocre team. If Man United can't improve their game like they played against Man City, they have no difference than Chelsea. The match was held in Old Trafford, but Man City played like the match was held at Man City home. I don't know why Man United was so weak, they even failed to score a single goal. Well, it is a shameful match for Man United, they surely didn't do anything.

I think Man United defense looks very badly, I'm surprised Varane was on the bench. Man United midfield also has no power without Casemiro, Amrabat-Eriksen wasn't strong enough to take the ball possessions. They only got 39% ball possessions, it means Man City midfielders very dominated the ball possessions. On the other hand, Man United attackers couldn't do much effort, they only could make 3 shot on target and no goal at all.

Since Sir Alex Ferguson left Manchester United, I can say he is the best manager, tactically and he understands the fans better. This is not the time to see another manager being sacked, it's time to support and back the manager. He needs that very Importantly.
I don't think he'll be sacked and if they get him sacked they'll be making a very big mistake, it time to work to meet his demands.

They will bounce back stronger, might not happen so fast but they'll. Erik Ten Hag would have to drop Marcus Rashford a little bit, if he had score that goal he missed, it was supposed to change it all.
He's kinda one of the worst Manchester United players now including Bruno Fernandez, still yet to understand his problem really.
