Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[bitpotter]

The entry of Zichenko made Arsenal's midfield more alive and Rice's combination was also quite helpful. This victory feels so perfect because almost Arsenal have to lose two points when facing the lower -board team and Arteta needs to consider the Ramsdale goalkeeper in David Raya's condition who always makes mistakes.

I don't know what Arteta was thinking when he put Raya in the starting XI. I think Raya made two blunders in that match, CMIIW. Namely the second and third goals and gave Luton a 3-2 lead. What was Arteta thinking by not playing Ramsdale? This could be a reference for Arsenal's future opponents. I think Arsenal has quite a weakness in defense, especially the goalkeeper. This will be dangerous if they face a team with quite good goal productivity.

I think Mikel Arteta is sure of his choice and that's why he chose David Raya over Aaron Ramsdale. Actually these two goalkeepers are very good for Arsenal and because David Raya is superior in every training that is why Mikel Arteta is starting to trust him. David Raya's blunder was clearly very detrimental and anyone would be annoyed if they found out their goalkeeper made a mistake. But it was fortunate that Arsenal were still able to win, otherwise David Raya would have definitely received criticism in that match.

The last time Chelsea won Manchester united at home was two years ago and the margin was quite a good margin (1-3) but ever since Chelsea hasn't been able to win Manchester united bit at home or away it has ended most times in a draw and a few times in favour of Manchester united especially in their premier league games.

This will be the first time Manchester united will be playing against Chelsea in the premier league this season and I don't have an expectation for this game because both teams has been really inconsistent this season and one cannot really ascertain their form at a point I time, in some game they both perform so we'll while in the other they will perform poorly and one will think they may end up loosing but then Manchester united is in a better position considering their points and position on the table, they are aswell playing from home, although they have been beaten at home severally this season so I'm not sure how different it will be with This so I will just keep an open mind to it.

Arsenal's goalkeeper and defense might be the reason why Arsenal will lose the Premier League trophy to Manchester City or Liverpool because Luton Town had only 4 shots on goal, and they were able to score three goals against Arsenal last night.

Goalkeeper might be the problem behind Gunners conceding tremendous goals that ought to be questionable by the coach and the supporters, it's weigh not a representable goals to be angry about, clear out that the goalkeeper would have stretch and made some brilliant saves but unfortunately he could not and they have to deal with all these drama from average club. Arsenal did their best to win the game, when everyone thought of the scored to end final 3-3 draw but out of nowhere, we watch the crucial header from Declan Rice to give his team the lead injury time. Afterall the overhyped midfielder does the incredible stuff by delivering his club when everyone have lost faith.

Arsenal's goalkeeping dilemma has been on my mind. Clear that the defense isn't completely responsible for goals conceded. Arsenal's defense wasn't bad, but Luton's forwards were impressive. Three goals on four shots? A wakeup call. Arteta must make tough decisions. Strengthening the defense and assessing the goalkeeper are important. A fan worries. When playing lesser-known teams, we can't afford complacency.

In my opinion, this is about more than one player or position. It concerns the team's defense strategy. They must work together and be aware. Every player—including the goalkeeper—must improve. Arsenal's potential is apparent, but they must address these weaknesses fast. Otherwise, last-minute disappointments like Rice's header will continue. Strong, consistent defense strategies are needed.

You just hit the nail straight on the head, keeping an open mind in this game is what both club's fans should hold to heart tonight as both teams has been so inconsistent that when you expect them to win a game that's when they lose woefully.

But let me try to be bias here with a few sharp ends about Chelsea this season. From all the clubs they have lost points to it has all been  average teams that could be refer to as underdogs in the premier league but when have been able to pose a strong form on bigger teams either winning them or a draw, and tonight Manchester united isn't an average team but one of the most top four teams in the EPL history, therefore my bias tells me that Chelsea might rise up fiercely to the duel against them as a big team and this game could probably end draw. But that Ben said I still want to maintain an open mind.

[BABY SHOES]

David Raya became the mainstay of Arteta this season, even though compared to Ramsdale's appearance, it was no less good but for some reason Arteta preferred to install David Raya even when facing a crucial match. Luton was able to look for opportunities even though Arsenal controlled the match and they could take advantage of every time there was an opportunity to score goals. The level of accuracy of the chance of scoring goals is much better Luton compared to Arsenal but still different quality makes Luton have to lose in additional minutes of time through Rice's goal.

Maybe David Raya is good enough to balance the ability of Ramsdale, but who would have thought that this match before was not considered crucial because it was only against Luton that Arsenal would win easily, it seems that I was wrong in thinking that Luton actually became a threat after being able to lead the score in the second half with 3-2 but in the end Havertz equalized in the 60th minute and Declan Rice in the final minute with his header.

With this win Arsenal remain comfortably on top for the time being, the club will be able to hold on for some time to maintain its current position.

Even if City lose they will remain in the title race (although I would like them to drop out). A bet on a draw is really very interesting with such odds - usually it is lower, about 3.3, but in this case it looks profitable. I rarely bet on draws, but by the way, yesterday I bet on a draw in the Celta - Cadiz game (the odds were also slightly higher than 4) and won.
In this game, any outcome where City loses points will be pleasant for me even if I don’t bet.

You are right, although they lose but they will remain in the title race, and I think they still have a high chance of winning the title. But fortunately, last night Arsenal got an advantage because they success to get three points, and now they can widen the gap with City. Arsenal match last night was really great, but I'm can't bet on their live games because the odds are not very satisfactory for me. I only bet before the match started on over goal, and even then I placed them on a multibet with the Wolves match, fortunately in the end I catch them (Wolves won on HalfTime + Arsenal Over Goal 2.25 odds : @3.66)

By the way, tonight there will be an interesting match between Fulham vs Nottingham. Home team @2.02, Draw @3.05, Away team @3.85. What do you think about that one, can Fulham win?

Arsenal's goalkeeper and defense might be the reason why Arsenal will lose the Premier League trophy to Manchester City or Liverpool because Luton Town had only 4 shots on goal, and they were able to score three goals against Arsenal last night.

Hope Arsenal achieved 3 points yesterday from the Luton Town home despite some problem that occur in the defensive area that make their goalkeeper to lose some control that gave Luton Town opportunity to secured all those goals in the second half. I believe you can remember that Arsenal won Manchester city 1:0 in their last game that made many people to believed that Arsenal will go far in this tournament which they have succeeded in toping the premier league table and, they have the capacity to top till they win this season trophy.

Don't allow yesterday game make you feel that Arsenal will not win this trophy because, there was a mistakes that made their goalkeeper not to be able to perform well like the way he used to dominate in some games but they won the game to beat Luton Town 3:4 for the favour of Arsenal.

I'm just surprised to see Arsenal allow Luton Town to score 3 goals yesterday. The Premier League trophy is still wide open for the top 6 clubs to win because Arsenal is just topping with 3 points and if they eventually lose a match, another club will take the lead from them. If Manchester City fails to win against Aston Villa today, then I will conclude there is a problem in Manchester City's squad.

[Chilwell]

I don't really know if I should say the Gunners are serious this time around or they're just giving us the version 2 of what they did last season, because City are having a shakey start this season and the Gunners are really taking advantage of this shaking City side.
I don't want to say much about the Liverpool side because they don't have what it takes to be the champions in this campaign, if eventually Liverpool top the league I believe they can drop back down just like Tottenham did and the title is just between City and the Gunners.
So this Arsenal team is just surprising me with the way they go about business and I'm finding it hard to believe they can win the league because to me is like City are not ready yet but when they add that seriousness Arsenal will drop the challenge for the Citizens.

It also surprising me oooo with the way they are playing, it looks exactly like last season, last season they are at the top this time around, they start the new year topping the table and here we are again in the same time, the same position, I will be happy if the win the league and I want them to win it but to give them my heart this time is what am afraid of because last season teaches me a lesson, Manchester city of this season are different from Manchester City of last season so I still have hope for them, but the last minute win they are trying to be conversent with is very dangerous and I will say they should not be depending on that extra time because if very dangerous and can change everything.

Few hours left have several Premier League matches from

• Sheffield vs Liverpool
• Fulham vs Nott Forest
• Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth
• Brighton vs Brentford
• Man United vs Chelsea
• Aston Villa vs Man City

Liverpool must take three points away match against Sheffield after Arsenal won last night and they have 5 points left, not much problem get three points for Liverpool. I think have interested match between Manchester United vs Chelsea, Erik ten Hag under pressure right now after several bad matches result and have speculation more than 50% of Manchester United players want ten Hag sack from his position.

It's not only Liverpool but everyone who are behind Arsenal on the table. Arsenal were lucky last night but in the end 3 points is what matters. Anyway seems like United vs Chelsea will be highlight of today's fixtures. Both teams have been struggling but have top quality squad. It would be an exciting fixture to watch. I will say Chelsea are playing quite well compared to United so I am going for Chelsea win today.

[$crypto$]

Manchester United only won for one match from the last six matches, the rest five matches were end in draw. It's make sense considering Chelsea was improve recently, the previous matches wouldn't influence the upcoming match.

On the other hand, I'm really happy to see Ten Hag now choose to put Rashford in bench. Chelsea is struggle since they have many players are currently injured and Gallagher was suspended.

Any possibility can happen, I guess it's safer to bet both teams to score.

What do you mean that Man United has one win in the last 6 matches? See before being beaten by Newcastle that Man United had won three in a row until now placing 7th much better than Chelsea still in the middle of the table.

Chelsea is not so developed, see in 14 matches only five wins of course for a big team like Chelsea this is not a good achievement they still have problems in their game so it is difficult to win with any team.

But the bookies favor Chelsea with odds @2.40 while Man United odds @2.75, I still doubt who will win, both teams are still difficult to guess, but the opis bet both teams score is a good choice bet.

I think Mikel Arteta is sure of his choice and that's why he chose David Raya over Aaron Ramsdale. Actually these two goalkeepers are very good for Arsenal and because David Raya is superior in every training that is why Mikel Arteta is starting to trust him. David Raya's blunder was clearly very detrimental and anyone would be annoyed if they found out their goalkeeper made a mistake. But it was fortunate that Arsenal were still able to win, otherwise David Raya would have definitely received criticism in that match.

If you look at experience, David Raya has less experience than Aaron Ramsdale. Even though the age gap between these two goalkeepers is quite small, experience should be the main key for Mikel Arteta to determine his choice, but I am sure Mikel Arteta sees the potential in David Raya and wants to give him the opportunity to start his career as a goalkeeper with the various experiences that David Raya was able to gain while at Arsenal.

It is going to be a tough one for Arsenal if Manchester City gets more serious and keen on this premier league title race. They always come back with full force at mid season which we are gradually approaching now. Arsenal are not on top of the table with two point lead, they need to protect that lead by winning all of their matches henceforth because it seems when Manchester City is back, Arsenal won’t have a chance to beat them again, we all know Guardiola and he has already made a statement that they are winning the league again. Arsenal always have the balls in their court to decide, I hope they make the right decision this time around and not disappoint like last season by giving away the league title again. I have not lost hope in Liverpool too, they are also worthy of consideration of the league title at this point.

Afterall the overhyped midfielder does the incredible stuff by delivering his club when everyone have lost faith.

I don't know if you've been watching Arsenal match cause if you're always watching Arsenal match you will not speak like this, everyone saw what Raya did yesterday and it was very poor but that doesn't mean you will judge Raya just because of what he did, if I must say Raya is better than Ramasdel so I don't see any point dragging Raya.

People can at least judge raya when he has reached the same total matches as ramsdale in arsenal. We can't argue which goal keeper is better for arsenal. There's no guarantee if raya will perform like ramsdale on his career in arsenal.
We shall be fair when comparing everything. Judge him is not acceptable since raya was only a few matches with arsenal. It's too far compared with ramsdale.

The issue with Arsenal yesterday was they faced a tough team, Luton really pressured Arsenal and I never expected that I know why everyone is talking about the defence and Raya, we expected more from Arsenal that's just the truth.

A tought team? are you sure? Luton placed at the bottom. A team like arsenal which is far superior in everything compared to the luton shall not be struggle against it. That proves that if there was something with arsenal.
Arsenal was able winning against city and did you value luton better than city?

So this Arsenal team is just surprising me with the way they go about business and I'm finding it hard to believe they can win the league because to me is like City are not ready yet but when they add that seriousness Arsenal will drop the challenge for the Citizens.

I believe Arsenal is very serious about winning the Premier League this season, and that is why they are always doing everything possible to always win any match, even in the last minute, and with that, it shows that Arsenal is ready to face any challenges to win the Premier League. Even last season, Arsenal was serious about winning the league, but the trust was lost because many of their key players were injured and Arsenal had no replacement for those players, so even with other players efforts, they were not having good results because of the absence of their key players. But this time around, I can see that Arsenal have some good replacements for them. Let's just remember how good the players,partey , Saliba and Jesus, were performing at the beginning of last season and later to injury. Just imagine those players didn't go for injuries, or Arsenal had a good replacement for them. The story with defense will be different.now i think Arsenal have batter replacement for players despite arsenal did signed much players but the trust is that others once on bench have show some seriousness when they played recently.

[rendravolt]

On the other hand, Manchester United must eliminate all doubts and they must focus on winning this match. We know there was tension in the dressing room and the news has spread in various media and I hope Manchester United can shake it off by winning at Old Trafford. Against Chelsea is also not an easy matter this time because this team is more trustworthy and they also managed to win against Brighton even with only 10 players. So their confidence level will increase throughout this match. Well, can't wait to watch this exciting match later and don't forget to place a bet because the opportunities are very tempting.

Manchester United is currently a team that has players who are mentally weak, the average Manchester player has very little loyalty to the team, especially now that United's dressing room is not doing well, there are several players who are inconsistent and selfish when they are in the match. Plus, now United's main goalkeeper (Andre Onana) is being bullied a lot by some world football fans.
Meanwhile, Chelsea is currently still in a period of inconsistency in terms of wins, in the last 4 English league games Chelsea only recorded 50% wins, 25% draws and 25% losses, but in these 4 matches Chelsea faced big 6 teams last season so it's normal. It's natural that they can only get a winning percentage of 50%, so we'll just have to wait and see who will win the match tonight. If you look at the statistics in the last 4 meetings, Chelsea has only won once at Old Trafford and lost once, the rest were draws.

Most of the Red Devils players complained and quite a few ignored the coach's instructions and we could see this after Antony Martial was caught on camera making a disrespectful gesture when Erik Ten Hag wanted him to continue running and give pressure to the opposing players. However, it was also seen that Rashford was reluctant to help in defense and he seemed to be lazing around in the match against Newcastle last week. I don't understand what is happening to this team and is it possible that the relationship between players and coaches is starting to break down?

Maybe Chelsea is still a little better because they don't have problems with the environment and it's just that they often lose coordination on the field which makes them less likely to create mature opportunities. Statistics are important, but looking at the problems faced by Manchester United, it is likely that they will take advantage of this situation. But I still prefer to see Chelsea not in trouble internally and it remains to be seen how Pochettino can mobilize his players to be able to steal 3 points at Old Trafford.

Afterall the overhyped midfielder does the incredible stuff by delivering his club when everyone have lost faith.

Arsenal won the match against Luton, surely many people had predicted it. but Arsenal conceded 3 goals in that match, I don't think Arsenal's defense was that bad compared to Luton's attackers.
imagine 4 shots on target and 3 of them are goals. how effective they are in the match. I know it happened because of Arsenal's loose play and it created some gaps in the defense that Luton could exploit. but every time they attack, it's a goal.
I'm sure Arteta has some work to do after that match.

I have to be agreed with you about this because many were also expecting both teams to score for this match and same happen but once they have done impressive performance which bring Gunners under pressure, and they need to give more than their power for the win once I was feeling we are going to have Luton/Draw for this match but injury time bring back Gunners at the top with now they will be stayed here for some more weeks with next week they are going to visit another attacking club Aston Villa which is tonight going to host Manchester City for their campaign to stay into top four.

 Declan rice and player of the match with his effort for this crucial win for his team as now Arsenal midfield is looking much better and impressive which can bring them to better level until end of this season with their game currently they are still having the best defense in Premier League.

[KTChampions]

Ten Hag, as always, was late (although even on time he makes strange decisions, or vice versa early... in short, he made a mistake again) with the substitutions. The wooden Rashford and Martial should have been changed at half-time. And another double substitution 10 minutes before the end of normal time. I would rather believe that Newcastle will score than that United will come back.

The problem that often occurs at Man United is the line-up that Ten Hag uses, especially regarding player substitutions during matches. sometimes this is really surprising and not at all what we think. And in the end, Man United had to admit defeat to Newcastle, even though Newcastle only scored 1 goal, losing was still losing. Newcastle with 3 full points can surpass Man United in 6th position.
~

According to rumors, Ten Hag's problems were further aggravated by the fact that the players no longer understood (in the sense of approving) the intensity of training. And they have questions about tactics because they have little understanding of what United are playing - in general, Ten Hag has lost the dressing room.
I don’t know if it’s true or not, but if United lose to Chelsea today, Ten Hag will be sacked.
Today I support Chelsea with all my heart!  

[hahay]

Few hours left have several Premier League matches from

• Sheffield vs Liverpool
• Fulham vs Nott Forest
• Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth
• Brighton vs Brentford
• Man United vs Chelsea
• Aston Villa vs Man City

Liverpool must take three points away match against Sheffield after Arsenal won last night and they have 5 points left, not much problem get three points for Liverpool. I think have interested match between Manchester United vs Chelsea, Erik ten Hag under pressure right now after several bad matches result and have speculation more than 50% of Manchester United players want ten Hag sack from his position.

By the way, it seems I am more interested in the Aston Villa v Manchester City match, because at this moment Aston Villa and Manchester City only have a gap of 1 point. Also, so far this season Aston Villa is completely unbeaten in home matches, while Manchester City so far have 1 draw and 2 losses in away matches. Therefore, I think that even though Manchester City is still the favorite team to win this match, I think it will not be easy to beat Aston Villa in this match. Because yes, at least Aston Villa is on fire at this moment, while Manchester City seems to be experiencing a slight decline in performance. Therefore, I think this match will remain an interesting match besides the match between Manchester United v Chelsea.

But I still prefer to see Chelsea not in trouble internally and it remains to be seen how Pochettino can mobilize his players to be able to steal 3 points at Old Trafford.

They have a strict coach setting standards and trying hard they win games and all they do is leak news and disobey the manager? The both of them ( Marcus Rashford and Antonio Martial should both be dumped on the bench ) there's also the hungry Pellistri even if he doesn't give a good number of outputs, he should come ahead of Rashford because I know Antony would be the first choice against Chelsea tonight.

Chelsea should win this game if you want to judge from previous performance from the games played. But it'll be encouraging for Manchester United if they win and embarrassing for Chelsea.
