Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[TelolettOm]

Compared to the last season, Manchester City's performance this season is very slow. Two very important midfield players are missing from the squad. Gundogan is out and De Bruyne is out with the squad due to injury. And this is why Manchester City is not able to show strong dominance this season like last season.

Yes, Man City performance is decreasing a bit, they no longer can play as consistent as in the previous season. From 10 matches they played in EPL, they already got 2 losses. It is quite surprising that they can be defeated by Wolves and Arsenal in the early of this season. Everyone must think Man City should win against them, Man City is the champion of EPL last season. But losing those 2 important midfielders (De Bruyne & Gundogan), makes Man City no longer as strong as previously. Moreover, when Man City was defeated by Wolves, Rodri was also unavailable due to injury problem. Well, Man City has a serious problem for the midfield line now.

City's performance against Manchester United was very composed. Guardiola knew Manchester United's weaknesses very well. And accordingly he developed his match strategy. So Manchester City won't have any problem to win this match. Manchester City won by 3-0

When they played against Man United, Rodri has returned from the injury. Man City midfield line becomes a bit stronger, meanwhile Man United has no Casemiro on their lineup. Losing Casemiro makes Man United midfield be weaker, so Man City attackers can be easier to destroy their defense. Man City really dominated the match, they won the ball possessions above 60%. Finally, Man City won the match with 3 goals, it was an easy match for Man City.

In yesterday's match I won't blame anyone, even Rasmus Hojlund gave a very good performance, it's just that Manchester United doesn't seem ready to compete competitively with other big clubs and that all because in terms of players, Manchester United and Manchester City are very different from In terms of talent quality, it is so different that I would understand Manchester United lost against City.
After that, Manchester City back to better, even though previously almost had a bad trend when lost twice at that time and now starting to show its strong performance again to continue chasing Tottenham points and soon dominate the Premier League to become leaders in this league.

Manchester City’s two time loss was just a fracture that they’ve healed from and I know they will come over it very soon and dominate the premier league back again. Manchester City are back on top form and I won’t be surprised if they continue this trend for a long time to come. At the moment, they are of a better chance of winning the title this season alongside Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. I will call their two loss a correction to them and be more prepared for the task ahead of them. Tottenham Hotspur are showing a great performance now and if they continue this form it will be easier for them to compete for the premier league title. Son have shown good performances and he is taking the team on the frontline to win more games for them. He is indeed a striker to depend on and deliver his task successfully.

Though Manchester City comfortably defeated Manchester United in the latter's home ground yesterday but that doesn't mean that the current English Premier League champions are back to their best as a lot of people are already thinking.
Since the club's captain Kelvin De Bruyne got injured, the club has struggled to perform well exceptionally well like they've been doing in the past three seasons. They  won against Manchester United because United played that game like the had already conceded defeat even before the start of the match. It was a good result for the Citizens to keep them in strong position to continue their forth consecutive title chase but I don't think they're back to their best at the moment.

Manchester City vs Manchester United match was easy to predict before the match started considering the performance of both teams. We can easily say that Manchester City will win against Manchester United because Manchester City is performing much better than Manchester United this season. Manchester City have lost some key players due to injuries but they are not performing at all badly as they did last season and they are doing the same this season. Manchester United and Manchester City used to have a tough competition between these two teams but that competition has been reduced a lot on the part of Manchester United due to which we don't see much excitement in the match between these two teams.

What a difficult situation Chelsea have at the moment, and for the next few matches in the Premier League too of course. Because anyway, after Chelsea lost at home in yesterday match against Brentford with a score of 0-2, in fact Chelsea next matches will play against Tottenham, Manchester City, Newcastle, Brighton and Manchester United. Although for example Chelsea failed to win but indeed, Chelsea will not fall into the relegation zone. But clearly, if in that matches Chelsea failed to win, then Chelsea position in the Premier League standings would be closer to the relegation zone.

Chelsea still have many things to acquire before they will begin to act in a perfect way like other potential teams that are very good in this premier league competition and other competitions just to keep their fans in good mood. If Brentford can beat Chelsea 0:2 in their home without allowed their new strikers they signed in with huge amount of money to secure a single goal from the first half and the second half, show that Tottenham Hotspur will still beat Chelsea in their next game because they will do everything possible within their skills to maintain their winning habits to use home advantage to win Chelsea.

I guess there is an opportunity for Manchester united to correct their errors from their next game because, they have what it takes to take a good advantage in this game to beat Brighton 1:3 to increase their points and to make their fans happy again.

Since the club's captain Kelvin De Bruyne got injured, the club has struggled to perform well exceptionally well like they've been doing in the past three seasons.

Manchester played freely yesterday, De Bruyne's absence did not have any effect on the match. Manchester City has not really been stable since De Bruyne went on injury. When Manchester City played against Brighton, Akanji received a red card in  the match. I was thinking that DeBruyne and Akanji being absent in the match would have a very great effect on the match. Manchester City will find it difficult to win Manchester United, but yesterday's match was just too easy for Manchester City. Manchester United's performance was just too poor in the match, they shouldn't have conceded three goals in the match. Manchester United's defense was too weak in the match.

The Manchester derby is really not that fun to watch from my own point of view, because from the way things are going especially for the United side, they're not match for the Citizens at all, they can't even make it hard for Man City to get a goal. Manchester United lack so much in that team that even the coach Erik ten Hag can't find a way to figure out how to solve the problem.
 If Man UTD continue like this I feel the Manchester derby won't be that fun and exciting to watch rather it would be the North London derby (Arsenal vs Tottenham) that would be one of the biggest in the EPL, because to me Pep have conquered that bragging right, the Citizens owns Manchester.

You shall need to wait a few years to make sure manchester united will be making some huge improvements in the club. In fact, manchester united has been facing setback since a few years ago. The progress was not even moving forward.
Manchester united was always failed in getting the right coach since sir alex has gone. Manchester united was only good when sir alex was coaching the club but since he was no there anymore and the situation is very different.,
Manchester united seemed lost its credibility as one of big club in the EPL. Chelsea also have the same problem like manchester united at this moment. These clubs lost their true identity since the new owners were taking the clubs.

Chelsea has also become one of strongest team in europe under russian billinaire but everything changed 180 degree once abramovich was selling chelsea.
The new owned has also strong ego. He was only destroying the club even worst with any of his decision.

From time to time players can perform poorly and that's understandable, but since the start of the season we've seen a tactical weakness in the team and a lack of goals. Both in European games and in the league United have really struggled to find goals rather than moving the ball forward. Ten Hag is the one who has to solve this problem as soon as possible. If the team continues like this for a few more games I think Ten Hag should be sacked. I think this defeat is not because of the players but because of the manager. If you can't show any power against your opponent in derbies like this you have to look for the blame in yourself.

Ten Hag is like a coach with poor experience and poor strategy in dealing with Manchester United, even though he brought in several experienced players at the start of the season, Manchester United is still not able to show its best performance. He is the first person responsible for the current condition of Manchester United.
Manchester United management needs to reconsider Ten Hag's status as head coach of Manchester United, so far he has not been able to fulfill hopes of making Manchester United compete again in the top four. In my opinion, there is no reason to keep Ten Hag any longer if Manchester United does not immediately recover, the coach's dismissal must be done immediately before it is too late.

In my opinion, instead of being patient with him for 1-2 more games, a new manager should be brought in immediately. The new manager will probably have 2-3 weeks to get used to the new manager, so the sooner a decision is taken, the better it will be for the team. I think the fans also think that he should be replaced as soon as possible. They will be out of the championship race early this season. Now, when they still have a chance to be in the race, an early change may save their lives.

Since the last few years the Manchester Derby has become less interesting, the tension in the game has begun to decrease due to the quality of Manchester United not being equal to the quality of Manchester City. Yesterday before the match started, it was predictable who would win the Derby this time, the results were in line with predictions. Even though Manchester United plays at their home ground, they are not the top team because their performance has been inconsistent so far.
I prefer watching the Arsenal vs Manchester City match because the match will produce excitement and tension that can provide enjoyment for the audience. The Manchester Derby is like the Turin Derby, only one team always dominates the Derby.

[Velvet78]

There is a really lovely competition among Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool respectively in the standings. Aston Villa are also trying to keep up with these four teams and they have done pretty good about that so far. Emery is managing Aston Villa really great and I don't actually remember him having a poor season with any team for a long time.

However they are having struggles in big away games so far. They actually beat Chelsea but Chelsea were having a really hard time back then. Liverpool and Newcastle destroyed Aston Villa. However if they keep up a consistent form in general -just as they are doing now- they can be competitive for top 5 at worst.

Finally, Man City won the match with 3 goals, it was an easy match for Man City.

It may be a bit unfair to expect Manchester City to perform as superiorly as last season. They were a very good team in every sense last season and it is not easy for them to do this every season. There is a slight decline in terms of play in the team this season, but I think this is very normal. We are still at the beginning of the league and they do not need to push too much.

As they progress in the Champions League, they will show their opponents that they are a better team. I think they are in a bit of a recovery phase right now and will soon return to their dominant game like last season.

They did not have much difficulty in the Manchester United match. Manchester United is a team far behind City in terms of quality. Therefore, it is very normal for the match to end with this score.

However if they keep up a consistent form in general -just as they are doing now- they can be competitive for top 5 at worst.

Yeah the point race still continues it's just that we did not expect that Tottenham was leading because before we thought Tottenham was unable to compete even out of the top 5 but what we think is wrong, whereas Arsenal and Manchester City have been the main competitors since the last 2 seasons so it's not surprised if they are there. Regarding Aston Villa, this team looks more aggressive they are the team with the most goals 26 goals in 10 matches means 2.6 goals in each match but strangely we did not see one of the Aston Villa players on the top score list, really strange right their weakness is in defense when fighting a strong team they conceded more often.

Aston Villa without doubt has been very impressive in the English Premier League since the start of the season but I don't see them as a serious contender for the league title and that's because of the quality of players in the club. Apart from the fact that they have a world class striker like Ollie Watkins who's been scoring goals for fun this season, they don't have the quality of players like the top four clubs in the league table to challenge for the league title.
With what we've seen so far this season, I think the battle for who wins the English Premier League title is between the top four teams in the league standings.

Emery managed to make Aston Villa a very strong team in a fairly short time. The difference between them and the leaders of the standings is only a few points, so I am sure that Emery will want to compete for the top 4. But for this they also need to win against the leaders of the championship, and so far they have lost the matches with Liverpool and Newcastle. They will have to play the next difficult match with Tottenham, and a little later there will be matches with City and Arsenal, if they can get points in these matches, then everything can work out for them.

Aston Villa in Emery's hands can still compete for now but in the future I'm not sure they will be able to be in the top 4 of the real standings it will be very tight while with the 5th position down it is still quite manageable by Emery and because we never know what happens later, the same thing when Brighton at the beginning of the season was enough but lately they are quite inconsistent, well that's what I doubt about Aston Villa but at least now he is still stable enough to chase points.

It's hard to face a big team for Aston Villa they won't be able to even though it's the expected way to get points, it won't be that easy, surely other big teams will maintain their position by continuing their victory.

Aston villa has missed alot in the past league appearance. They have struggled to remain relevant till date and am proud of their improvement so far.
The revelation is agreeably Tottenham Hotspur. With their current standings, any slip in performance or a loss will put Manchester city or Arsenal on top. Arsenal's last game just put them on top of Manchester city because of goal difference. I think this premier league is one that more goals are needed to finish well and that's something Chelsea, Manchester United have a problem with.
One would easily think with the absence of Harry Kane, Tottenham would do worse, but in reality, they seemed to have fired up their average and performance to more than compensate for missing Harry.

Yes that's right. Aston Villa under Emery's tutelage has indeed made a lot of progress in their game, he has made Aston Villa appear strong to date, and made the EPL league tighter and more competitive. Apart from that, they are now in fifth place in the standings, but Aston Villa has performed well in the Conference League so far, they have not lost at all.

Indeed, Aston Villa is slowly making its way into the top four, but I don't think they are able to compete in the top four because the EPL league is still very long. I think their target this season is to play in the European league, maybe this is a realistic target.

[BIT-BENDER]

Aston villa has been a project that has been developing for some seasons now, I am not surprised that they are at the level they are now. Since the time when Jack grealish was there I have noticed that the team has good substance, and every season there has been some considerable development, I love the way they attack and defense, Watkins has been a brilliant striker for them multiple seasons now and even having his English national team call up, Martinez their keeper has also been in brilliant form too hopefully they can still come to Europe next season .

To get 1 spot in the European zone, it is clear that Aston Villa has to work hard and try as much as possible to maintain its form. So far they are on the right track, while there are many doubts about them considering the tough competition with the best teams at the moment.

Aston Villa can take advantage of easier matches to win points even though they lose to teams that are more favored than them, I think that could make them more likely to stay in the European zone this season. Currently Aston Villa has won 7 of 10 matches, 1 draw and 2 losses. Of course it wasn't a bad result, but they were better than before.

Unai Emery is like a bless to Aston villa, their performance this season is incredible and really Unai Emery mean what he said that champions league is the target, Aston villa are still maintaining their wins of 12 consecutive home Premier league.
Sometime goals are very important, today Arsenal are having that advantage over Manchester City with just one goal, Aston villa and Newcastle united have the highest goals so far. When kane live Tottenham I thought as much that it's going to be hell for Tottenham Hotspur but unfortunately the replacement appeared immediately which is son, son is unstoppable now with the way is move Tottenham Hotspur to the sky.

Though Manchester City comfortably defeated Manchester United in the latter's home ground yesterday but that doesn't mean that the current English Premier League champions are back to their best as a lot of people are already thinking.
Since the club's captain Kelvin De Bruyne got injured, the club has struggled to perform well exceptionally well like they've been doing in the past three seasons.

Manchester played freely yesterday, De Bruyne's absence did not have any effect on the match. Manchester City has not really been stable since De Bruyne went on injury. When Manchester City played against Brighton, Akanji received a red card in  the match. I was thinking that DeBruyne and Akanji being absent in the match would have a very great effect on the match. Manchester City will find it difficult to win Manchester United, but yesterday's match was just too easy for Manchester City. Manchester United's performance was just too poor in the match, they shouldn't have conceded three goals in the match. Manchester United's defense was too weak in the match.

I wouldn't say the MU game was too weak, rather Manchester City were just a pretty strong opponent. Judging by the stats, Manchester United still tried to attack and put shots towards the goal, but all misses. The first five places in the table go very nicely, close to each other and the funny thing is that out of the five most defeats are MS(2), and yet they are in the top five

[AakZaki]

When Gabriel Jesus was injured, Nketiah was the best option. Arteta did not appoint him wrong. Nketiah managed to play well. He even gave proof by making 3 goals. In fact, he set a new record after Aubameyang could make 3 goals in 2021 and today Nketiah managed to make new history. Takehiro Tomiyasu also scored his first Premier League goal.  This victory certainly keeps Arsenal 2 points apart from Tottenham. There are still quite a long time and many games to reach the top until the end of the season. Tottenham do not seem to have a problem with Kane's departure to Munich.
