Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[JeffBrad12]

[...]
Chelsea continues to play its matches at a very unsuccessful pace, but I am still afraid of Chelsea. You can never predict what they will do. They can suddenly play very well. I think Tottenham will not lose at home in today's match, but a part of me doubts Chelsea. I don't want to bet on this match.

Derbies are usually harder to predict because there's still that rivalry between these teams.

If you're that uncertain on who will win then you may as well consider the number of goals and bet on them.
Rollbit offer the following odds for goal range in this match:
- 0 to 1 goal @4.30
- 2 to 3 goals @2.02
- 4 to 5 goals @3.35

I personally think it's going to be a low scoring game so I find @4.30 really tempting.

There will probably around 2 - 3 goals to be made in this match. I don't even expect there will be so many goal to happen. Chelsea was always struggling in scoring against the big club. The match against arsenal is still proving that. Chelsea is rarely scoring more than two goals but this is also rarely happening since last season. I think that is not that difficult to think that if there will be only a few goals being made in this match. Draw is also possible to happen.
Totenham is strong but chelsea may also try to perform even better compared to the previous game. As long as pochettino chooses the right player to play in the main squad and it will make totenham struggle to beat it.
Totenham is strong but the trophy will be only owned by manchester city. It doesn't even matter how strong totenham and arsenal. City is the winner.

Probably 2 to 3 goals/double chance but i think both of clubs will be scoring.

I don't understand why bookmakers give such high odds for Spurs to win - 2.3... Maybe I don't know something, but I bet that Spurs will win... Chelsea have a lot of problems and this is not the team that can win the leader of the standings in an away game...

That's a good opportunity isn't it? Place on the Spurs odds right away because it looks promising with Tottenham's current form.
Until now Tottenham is still unbeaten and Chelsea is in a bad phase, we will see how Chelsea faces a tough team that is usually worse than what is thought, maybe the game will be a little interesting even though in the end Spurs will win.

I like what the bookies are offering with odds @2.30, on the other hand Spurs want to maintain their unbeaten run and take over the table from Man City.

[hahay]

Only one game in the Premier League today. Tottenham will play a crucial home game against Chelsea. Tottenham have lost the league lead to Manchester City. I'm sure they'll want to do everything to win today. If Ange Postecoglou wants to make his mark in the league and in the season, he must pay attention to these games. On the other hand, Chelsea don't give me any confidence. sometimes I think that if they get good results in a few games in a row they can get back to their old ways. But they probably won't finish this season among the top 4 teams. I see Tottenham as the favorite in this match.

Of the 4 matches Tottenham have played at home, in fact Tottenham managed to win them all. As for Chelsea's 4 away matches so far, in fact Chelsea only has 2 wins 1 draw and 1 loss. Maybe, with these results at least Chelsea can still provide difficult resistance to Tottenham, or at least Chelsea will try hard not to be defeated easily. Because anyway, at this moment Tottengam is really in a very good trend so of course, Chelsea will also prepare to hold Tottenham as well as possible.

[redsun114]

Although Chelsea are a good team going forward, they are not in very good form at the moment. Moreover, Chelsea's players sometimes change their movements a lot and everyone gives a good game to everyone. However, it is difficult to say how strong the team will be able to attack today's match against Tottenham, and it is not possible to say whether they can win the match. However, since today's match is at Tottenham's home ground, I think it would be foolish to bet for sure. Today it is not possible to say for sure which team will win, if there is an attacking game between Chelsea and Tottenham then the match is likely to be a draw. However, Tottenham have been in the best form in the Premier League this season, finishing second in the points table, where they overtook the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal to take the top spot, And if they win today's match, then Tottenham will be at the top. So I think today's match can be a win for Tottenham, if Chelsea can't perform well.

Derbies have never been easy to predict even currently Tottenham at the top and Chelsea is struggling in middle of the league table and their performance is already improved and things are taking positive stance for them Pochettino is also doing good work even his long run strategy needs more time but with the current situation things are taking good change for their future.

Chelsea away form is also good with in last three games they are having seven points and Tottenham is also having 100% record in this season at home which mean this could be interesting match for the both teams with Tottenham having good chance for staying ahead of the Manchester City and taking five points difference from Liverpool and Arsenal which are currently at third and fourth respectively.

I didn't know this guy before and was wondering where he comes from, but when I saw him playing I was really impressed by the speed he adds to the Manchester City game. He is extremely good in 1v1 dribblings and he is also a threat for the opponents as a scorer and he is good at preparing goals with his speed. I think this guy deserves to get his chances and he is always an option when someone like Grealish needs a break, is injured or maybe Guardiola decides to let him play because he offers a different style.

One thing I like about Pep Guardiola is that he always select the best and go for them,and even help them to improve more,this young lad is the future of Manchester City and he's going to help them achieve alot, I think he's a very good replacement for Mahrez cause he's young, skilled got speed and could play both flank,if only their neighbours Manchester United could imitate them and go for players that would suit their clubs standard them I think they'll go back to their glory days.

 With the way Doku is improving in every match he plays I think Pep Guardiola would consider giving him more chance than Grealish and instead of being a 2nd option they could be using him as a starter, because he's very impressive on the ball and got better skills and is faster than Grealish and the fact that he plays both flanks could also be threatening to Grealish starting.

Pep Guardiola is known for so many different things as a coach. He can also be hard with players and he has made hard decisions in the past that felt unfair for the players. But he really wants the best for the team and success proves him right. I also like him because he is very critical of himself when he as the coach makes mistakes. He is not this diva who claims to mostly be right and he is really still feeling the game. And yes his ability or skill to improve players is unprecedented.

[Stable090]

Tottenham continue to build on their success in the EPL. The club goes on a series without defeats, almost only winning. In addition, Postecolu's team does play at home, where they play especially confident. Chelsea will be hard to win. I think today's Chelsea is hardly able to fight for points with such a strong opponent as Tottenham. Most likely the Blues won't even be able to score.

Everyone has confidence in Tottenham to win the match. I know Tottenham is really performing well this season, and they will do everything possible to win the match. As we can see, Chelsea have not been in good form since last season, their performances have not really been good, but I am not underestimating Chelsea in the match. From what I notice in Chelsea this season, they are always putting more effort into their matches whenever they are playing against strong teams. No one believed that Chelsea would be able to draw their match against Arsenal. Everyone was expecting a win from Arsenal, they played against Liverpool in their first match, and they still played a draw. seriously am expecting Chelsea to perform well in today's match, even if Tottenham wins the match. It won’t be an easy one for them.

[BitDiscussion]

You remember that Arsenal losed the EFL Cup 3:1 to West Ham, while Newcastle defeated Manchester United 3:0. Although I was just thinking that Arteta had a different plan for the important match against Newcastle, which is why they lost, I was totally wrong then to think that way because Arteta substituted a strong team in the second half of their match against West Ham, i was thinking that he did that to avoiding any injuries among the players. Considering how well Newcastle has performed this season, I was expected that either Arsenal  win or the game end draw. Arsenal was unable to score a single goal against Newcastle, that am actually shocked by the outcome of the game when it ended like that.

Arsenal which was hyped as one of the favorite teams for the title before this season now in last ten matches having 5 wins with 2 draws and 3 defeats in all competitions and their performance is also not as we were expecting from them for the win of the EPL title which is surely big question mark after having good last season even mostly feeling Arteta is doing good job but still things are not as expectations and their performance is surely need improvement with few positions are also needs good changes.

As no doubt Newcastle United is also on not right side, but they are also doing good improvement which is bringing changes for them, and they are currently at the fifth spot, but their win at Old Trafford bring good confidence for them and now having win against Arsenal at St James Park surely will give them good chance for the better end and having strong case for the staying at the top.

[lixer]

I don't understand why bookmakers give such high odds for Spurs to win - 2.3... Maybe I don't know something, but I bet that Spurs will win... Chelsea have a lot of problems and this is not the team that can win the leader of the standings in an away game...

It's natural that the bookie gives high odds to Spurs because currently the EPL league team that has never lost is Tottenham. Apart from that, Chelsea have not found a solid playing rhythm, Chelsea's away game is also quite bad. While Chelsea was trained by coach Pochettino, he was still inconsistent. Just look at the EPL league this season, Chelsea have only managed three wins from ten matches, even last week Chelsea were humiliated by Brentford 0-2 at home. If you want to win then bet on Totteham.

Even I agreed about this all with rivalry between these two London based clubs are also very interesting and in last few matches Chelsea have good record against Tottenham as well which is making bookmakers to keep odds at this level because they are feeling something can happen which we have already in many matches in this round with Liverpool held by Luton and Arsenal lost against Newcastle United and many other teams are also having fallen down.

Chelsea recent record is not good as they lost against Brentford at home and also having draw against Arsenal, but their away record is good with two wins and one draw which is good and with this all we can expect some improvement in this match which can make life tough for the Tottenham which needs to win this match for staying at the top of the league table.

Well, my comment as usual is not to underrate Chelsea in any way, but based on reality and how things really look, I personally do not see Chelsea being able to give Tottenham a tough match like they did with Arsenal, Arsenal is actually a very annoying team as they are so inconsistent, this is the number one problem I have always had with them, today, they play well, tomorrow, they begin to misbehave, this is the reason they failed to win the trophy last season, and this season, many expected them to write their wrongs from last season and correct it this season, but right now, it seems that they are at it again, making mistakes and losing matches they ordinarily should easily win.

Coming and to Chelsea, if chelsea was going to face a big team like Arsenal, then they probably have a chance of holding to a draw, or possibly winning, but for teams like Tottenham and Manchester city, Chelsea have no chance against this two teams, Infact, I am personally expecting Tottenham to win tonight's game with up to 5 goals to nothing.

[Marykeller]

Today we will watch the Chelsea and Tottenham matches. I think this will again be interesting where Chelsea who are in a not too uncertain condition face Tottenham who are in very good condition. but like Liverpool's match against Luton there could be an interesting surprise in this match.

In the encounter between Tottenham and Chelsea, unexpected things are sure to happen. Given the understanding way Tottenham has played since the start of the season, everyone is picking Tottenham to defeat Chelsea. but, surprises can occur, and they will suffer unexpected losses, just like Arsenal did against Newcastle.

Chelsea usually wins or draws when they face Tottenham, but in this case, both clubs have changed their lineups from coach to player, so we're not sure how they will play each other for the first time since that happened.

It won’t be an easy one for them.

Chelsea surprised everyone by drawing the match against Arsenal. But in the next match they lost 2-0 against Brentford. It is true that Chelsea's performances have improved. However, the team's performance is still erratic. This team is unable to play consistently well.
Tottenham have been impressing everyone with their performances this season. The team is playing well in every match. And as they are in great form, dropping points against Chelsea is very unlikely. However, Chelsea should not be underestimated. This team has the potential to perform well. I believe if Tottenham players perform a little carefully they will be able to get full 3 points from this match.

[Belarge]

Today we will watch the Chelsea and Tottenham matches. I think this will again be interesting where Chelsea who are in a not too uncertain condition face Tottenham who are in very good condition. but like Liverpool's match against Luton there could be an interesting surprise in this match.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea, what are your predictions?Ofcourse I'm giving my winnings to Chelsea because I'm a fan and desperate to watch the Blues win an elite team this season. Mauricio Pochettino will travel to Tottenham stadium and feel the atmosphere, how old times flies before he was relieved from his position as headcoach. The Lilywhites will definitely bring in their best because on the other hand, their opposition is not some random competitor but an elite team. Spurs are #1 on the EPL table, they need this winning inother to maintain their position because they are entirely in for the league championship. I've no doubt that my the Blues will be the first team on the list that  will break the unbeaten run.

[TelolettOm]

Newcastle United is playing good football both in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, and if they continue like this they could make it to the top four in the Premier League because they can win big teams. Newcastle United was too strong for Arsenal, they could not allow Arsenal to penetrate them that much, and in the dying minutes, they snatched a win from Arsenal.

Newcastle United is the team that often gives a surprise for us. They could beat Arsenal although Arsenal is in a good form and they really expect to win the match to keep their hope of winning the EPL trophy. But Newcastle United won't let Arsenal steal points, they defeat Arsenal with a single goal made by Anthony Gordon. I think many people will assume Arsenal to beat Newcastle United. In fact Arsenal couldn't do much in the match against Newcastle United. They even only made 1 shot on target during the match.

[Webetcoins]

Arsenal did not win this match. Well they actually played very well. But the problem is in the attack line which is unable to maximize every opportunity they get. I failed to make a prediction in this match. Because I hope Arsenal win even with a narrow score. But on the contrary, Newcastle managed to win and allowed their supporters to go home happy.
But even so, I'm not too surprised because Newcastle is indeed one of the strongest teams this season and last season. But what really surprised me was Liverpool who were held to a draw by Luton Town. I can't say anything about this fight. I definitely don't believe the result of this match. Maybe I was more disappointed because I bet pretty big on this one.

Today remains the Tottenham vs Chelsea match. Maybe Tottenham will be able to win this match and maybe even score more than 2 goals. Because Tottenham are clearly more consistent this season. And this time Tottenham also played as hosts. So I don't think there will be any surprises in this match.

Okay, I really do not understand how the goal was actually given, to be honest. Because first of all, it did look like the ball actually went over the line. Secondly, there was a big push on the Arsenal player right inside the box. I have no idea why the goal was still given. Even if the board did not go out of play, the push on the Arsenal player was pretty easy to see. I also agree that Arsenal was definitely unlucky in this match. they have played really well but still lost the match. But I also agree that as a club that is going for the title, they should perform better.

In last few years, we have good changes in sports with use of technology is also doing his good contribution but sadly still things are not as we need now in last few weeks we have serious problems with this VAR as well first Liverpool suffers and now Arsenal even currently we are on debate about is this goal right or no but if this technology can't bring positive changes then surely doubts could be on about its use and things could be stayed at controversies as well which is surely not ideal situation.

I personally watch different views about this goal and feeling this was not allowed as goal, but pundits are former players are having completely different view from me, and they are consistently saying this was goal and nothing gone wrong in this all which is surely another story, but we need better and transparent things which bring better end of the games without any problem.

In fact Arsenal couldn't do much in the match against Newcastle United. They even only made 1 shot on target during the match.

It's high time we start giving Newcastle the respect they deserve, they have proven to be able to beat any team right now even if they aren't consistent with their form, but a team aside Manchester city I respect this season has to be Tottenham, they may not get the highest amount of goals but they know how to get the win. Tottenham Hotspur against Chelsea would be very exciting and I would be looking forward to it, my prediction is a win for Tottenham Hotspur.

[khiholangkang]

Tottenham Hotspur? They're another bottlers from London and they could go a long way maintaining the top but Injury scare and wrong decisions from the coach could send them down.
Regardless of that, if they can win the Premier League, that would be great. Pep Guardiola and Manchester City has decided to turn the Premier League into farmers league LoL. Pep Guardiola already said they want to retain three trophies this season.

I think the Burnley we saw season didn't build capacity in the Premier League, they may be relegated on how poorly they've been declining in performance. Vincent Kompany has to keep his side in check, otherwise, he lose his job before they eventually get relegated.

I would really like to see Tottenham becoming the champions in the Premier League honestly. The last time they made it was in the 1960/61 season. They achieved two titles those times. It is a really long time and it would be incredible for the history of this team to win another title after all these years.

Napoli finished their longing for the title for 30+ years for example. I would like to see Tottenham achieving a similar success as well. The only difference is that there isn't a team like Manchester City in the Serie A. 

But if you think about it again, it is very difficult for Tottenham to win the primary championship, what's more, Pep Guardiola's squad is still the same as last year and they will definitely get significant improvements, he still has the ambition to maintain his treble winners this season too. I also long for Tottenham to become champions of the English Premier League, and only finishing runners up can they get from their victory in 1960/61.

I'm like that, Manchester City today cannot be predicted because it has enough strength to continue to be at the top, Napoli did have a very high advantage last season, but it seems this season they have a lot of problems, not the same as Manchester City which can maintain performance and consistency in playing.

I don't understand why bookmakers give such high odds for Spurs to win - 2.3... Maybe I don't know something, but I bet that Spurs will win... Chelsea have a lot of problems and this is not the team that can win the leader of the standings in an away game...

That's a good opportunity isn't it? Place on the Spurs odds right away because it looks promising with Tottenham's current form.
Until now Tottenham is still unbeaten and Chelsea is in a bad phase, we will see how Chelsea faces a tough team that is usually worse than what is thought, maybe the game will be a little interesting even though in the end Spurs will win.

I like what the bookies are offering with odds @2.30, on the other hand Spurs want to maintain their unbeaten run and take over the table from Man City.

I think the bookie is blind in placing odds on Tottenham, this is certainly an opportunity for bettors to take advantage of tonight's match, seeing Chelsea's condition is very bad, it is difficult to say that Chelsea can play superior tonight, they have a lot of problems in their squad , even so, the ball is still round and luck could happen for chelsea in tonight's match, let's watch it.

[Ndabagi01]

Newcastle United is playing good football both in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, and if they continue like this they could make it to the top four in the Premier League because they can win big teams. Newcastle United was too strong for Arsenal, they could not allow Arsenal to penetrate them that much, and in the dying minutes, they snatched a win from Arsenal. I'm not surprised that Liverpool had the most positions and attempts but they were held by Luton Town. Football is all about tactics, it does not matter if you have the most positions you are sure to win a match, what matters is which team's tactics work.

Newcastle United have been playing excellent football since last season, which has earned them a place in the Champions League this season. Their recent performance in the Premier League cannot be overstated, and they deserve every accolade that has been bestowed upon them. They were a bit on an average level at the start of the season, but I believe they are now ready to compete for the top spot in both the Champions League and the Premier League. If they can maintain this steady form, they will be in the top four in the standings by mid-season, having ousted one or two clubs that are now in that position. Their match with Arsenal was a well anticipated one and the most best and tactical team won the match in the end to deserve all the three points from the match.

[Richbased]

In the encounter between Tottenham and Chelsea, unexpected things are sure to happen. Given the understanding way Tottenham has played since the start of the season, everyone is picking Tottenham to defeat Chelsea. but, surprises can occur, and they will suffer unexpected losses, just like Arsenal did against Newcastle.

Though Tottenham have really played an impressive football so far, I like their team spirit as each player is dedicated to giving their best in all their matches. Tottenham match with Chelsea this night might look a bit though but I don't see Tottenham losing this match because they are already aware of what's gonna happen if they lose to Chelsea so I believe they will play with all their energy in other to still maintain their stay at the top of the league.

Tottenham squad is very strong and I don't think they have so much injury woes that will make them exclude some important players in this match so I still believe this match will be a done deal in favor of Tottenham.

[RockBell]

Only one game in the Premier League today. Tottenham will play a crucial home game against Chelsea. Tottenham have lost the league lead to Manchester City. I'm sure they'll want to do everything to win today. If Ange Postecoglou wants to make his mark in the league and in the season, he must pay attention to these games. On the other hand, Chelsea don't give me any confidence. sometimes I think that if they get good results in a few games in a row they can get back to their old ways. But they probably won't finish this season among the top 4 teams. I see Tottenham as the favorite in this match.

From the beginning I already know that Manchester City have come to dominate, and if you look at what is happening it is similar to what happenedast season were Arsenal was on fire i was convinced that Arsenal will carry the trophy until they started loosing games, and Tottenham started well and their level of commitment was high and Tottenham playing against Chelsea is a difficult one to predict because don't be surprised that Chelsea might win against them. That is football somtimes the unexpected can happen. Chelsea might not give you confidence but are still far better than Manchester United,  and one thing is that Tottenham as been a star.

[CryptoBuds]

Arsenal were a bit unlucky in this match. It goes without saying that Arsenal's performance was poor. Arsenal players try to score. But the performance of Newcastle's defenders was outstanding. They successfully countered every attack from Arsenal's players. And Arsenal were able to launch several powerful and planned attacks. And in the 68th minute, Winger Gordon's goal gave Newcastle the lead. As Arsenal are playing for the title, they should perform more cautiously. If you lose points like this and if there is no consistency in performance, Arsenal will not be able to win the championship.

Arsenal needs to work on their performance because their loosing of points is get very serious if which they continue they may not even end to be among the first top four of the league. After the match Arsenal managed to defeat Manchester city they have been finding is difficult to win other big teams in premier league. Arsenal players are playing very well as a team but they are having problems when it comes to making of goals for sometime now. Arsenal next game is against Burnley a team at the bottom of the league,  I hope this shouldn't be too difficult for them, this must be a game they need to gain a full point from.

Arsenal did not win this match. Well they actually played very well. But the problem is in the attack line which is unable to maximize every opportunity they get. I failed to make a prediction in this match. Because I hope Arsenal win even with a narrow score. But on the contrary, Newcastle managed to win and allowed their supporters to go home happy.
But even so, I'm not too surprised because Newcastle is indeed one of the strongest teams this season and last season. But what really surprised me was Liverpool who were held to a draw by Luton Town. I can't say anything about this fight. I definitely don't believe the result of this match. Maybe I was more disappointed because I bet pretty big on this one.
Today remains the Tottenham vs Chelsea match. Maybe Tottenham will be able to win this match and maybe even score more than 2 goals. Because Tottenham are clearly more consistent this season. And this time Tottenham also played as hosts. So I don't think there will be any surprises in this match.

Newcastle United is playing good football both in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, and if they continue like this they could make it to the top four in the Premier League because they can win big teams. Newcastle United was too strong for Arsenal, they could not allow Arsenal to penetrate them that much, and in the dying minutes, they snatched a win from Arsenal. I'm not surprised that Liverpool had the most positions and attempts but they were held by Luton Town. Football is all about tactics, it does not matter if you have the most positions you are sure to win a match, what matters is which team's tactics work.

Newcastle United team is doing very well right now it is true. But they are unlikely to finish in the top four of the Premier League table. Newcastle United are now only 4 points behind Liverpool and Arsenal. 4 points gap is not much. However, Arsenal and Liverpool teams are fighting for the title. Although they performed poorly in 2/1 matches, their overall position is very strong. And so Liverpool and Arsenal are more likely to stay at the top of the table. Tattenham, Manchester City. Liverpool and Arsenal will be in the top four of the table. We will probably see Newcastle in fifth or sixth place in the table. Newcastle team is also trying to perform well in the Champions League. And so there is a possibility that Newcastle's performance in some of the Premier League matches will be erratic.
