Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

~~~

looking at the match and also the statistics I seem to see a regenerated Manchester United, although the score is currently tied 1-1 I believe that Manchester United can manage to win this match. Hojlund, however, isn't convincing me much this evening, he seems a bit dull, Manchester needs their striker to wake up

I'm sure everyone was amazed by Manchester United's performance today against Chelsea. They look like a team that has returned to its best form and is difficult to beat, but some mistakes such as finishing and the high desire to score goals from some of the players must be adjusted. Garnacho missed a lot of good chances, as did several other players so Ten Hag may need to make some adjustments for them.

The current score is still tied at 1-1, but I think Manchester United will soon find an additional goal considering the opportunities they created. The tension of the match was getting higher, making it possible for both teams to score goals. Meanwhile, Manchester City have gone 1-0 behind Aston Villa, which is bad for them.

Fernandes has always been a player I don rate at all because his performance is always absurd to me, he always play in a way that will hardly help the team be victorious, he is carefree, selfish and at some point lousy with his performance, I think it's high time he be kept more often on the bench because that's where he needs to be so he can learn.

Onana be trying to look like he is doing great but the slightest pressure that will be mounted on him now, he will resume his mistake spree, Manchester united is trying tho but these two persons need be replaced or better still sold out as they are one of the biggest problem Manchester united have on the pitch as it's obvious in tonight's game, the tactics ten hag is using tonight seem to be working a bit but then they are still in a draw at home, hopefully they get a second goal and seal their victory by the end of the second half.

It's Scott McTominay again.

How on earth is Scott McTominay, Manchester United's top scorer in all matches, yet he is a defensive midfielder? Is he granted a free role, kind of play? Getting inspiration from Jude bellingham?
Most importantly, where on earth are all the other Manchester United's attacking players?

[Winterfrost]

It would be quite painful that after all the nice play from Aston Villa Manchester City will eventually win the match. However, all thanks to Leon Bailey for scoring at the 74th minute of the game. It is obvious that Manchester City will loss to Aston Villa. This is because they have some players who are on suspension and they are not available in todays game and also it has affected the team so very match. The absence of Rodri, Doku and Grealish is really felt in the game.

Truly Villa is a playing a decent game and i wish them success in winning the game because they deserve with today.

[nurilham]

I agree with you that Manchester United has a bigger chance of winning this match what they need is to be consistent like in the first half kept pressing and didn't give Chelsea a chance, in less than 30 minutes the match will end and there is still enough time to do it. By the way I also watched the Manchester City match it seems they can't do anything because some players are absent in 80 minutes of the match they only had 2 chances lol this is not the Manchester City we know they are more likely to play defense and rely on counterattacks obviously it is not a safe way.

Yes, they must keep to play offensively until the end of the match. If they prefer to play more defensively, I doubt they will make a mistake and result in a conceded goal. Man United isn't a club which has a good defense, so they need to force their opponent to stay in their area. So far, Ten Hag already made the right tactic, they keep Man United game still offensive. However, I think Ten Hag needs to replace Hojlund with Rashford. I don't think Hojlund should play until the end of the match.

* Update: Only 1-2 minutes after I wrote this post, Ten Hag really replaced Hojlund with Rashford

It's unbelievable that Chelsea equalise in the first half, whereas Manchester United would have score two goals assuming the penalty kick was scored but Manchester United lose the penalty to Chelsea, even the Chelsea had penalty to Manchester inside eighteen but the referee couldn't notice that earlier, I will say it has not be notice earlier is because the last man device was faulty and they couldn't detect it easily, so Chelsea equalise the match unexpectedly because Chelsea have missed almost two chances and the third attempt Cole Palmer scored the goal, I believe that this will end 2:1 or draw, but Manchester United is seen to defeat the match because their pressure is much to Chelsea, the first half ended 1:1

It is 1-1 draw. Both teams are of the same category as there was so many mistake and opportunities that were not converted into a goal. It is good that the game is on draw because any club that don't take the match serious will lose to the opposite side. I think that this match will end in a draw from my own observation, this is because Chelsea and Manchester united are playing the same pattern of football and both of them are not that strong this season.

Manchester United has taken the lead against Chelsea with a goal from Mc Tominay in 69 minutes of play. Chelsea might not be able to score back this time because they are having fewer attempts to score goals in the second half. Aston Villa scored a goal against Manchester City to also take the lead against Manchester City at Villa Park. If Manchester City loses this match to Aston Villa,  Arsenal will take a 6-point lead over Manchester City.

Chelsea are in so much disarray in this game, they only manage to get anything right by chance. Nothing is perfected on their side, it’s just been mistakes after mistakes. Like what am I watching… it doesn’t even look like a team, of course they are not a team but with this, I don’t believe they even train together! Little wonder why Palmer chose to go solo on his goal. Should he had opted for a pass, I’m sure it would have been another ball in the wind.
They make  Manchester United look like a good team which they are obviously not but in this game, they’ve just kept a strong hold of Chelsea.

Aston Villa is beating the mighty Manchester City,,, Martinez will be having a good joke on them after this game if they don’t come up with an Equalizer. I know City is good at coming up with some shocking come back but, it doesn’t seem like it with Aston Villa tonight.

At this point it is safe to say that the Red Devils have had their way against the Blues with the 69th minutes goal from Scott McTominay to make it  2:1. This match was actually very difficult to predict as many people had already commented because the match could have gone either ways.

If this match end this way, Manchester United will have the same point with Tottenham and dragging the 5th position for the Europa league next season.

Manchester united have scored their second goal, i hope they will be able to maintain the current lead and I am sure Manchester United will do everything possible to maintain it. We are just a few minutes away from the end of the match. What Manchester United will do is just hold their defense tight. I didn't see anything special in Chelsea's performance in the match. Before the match started, I was thinking Chelsea would be able to win the match, but things didn't go well for Chelsea in the match. Since we are only a few minutes away, let's see how the two teams are going to play. Maybe Chelsea will be able to score an equalizing goal before the final whistle is blown.

I really have interest in this game because l want to observe CHRIS Wilder in his first game as the new manager of Sheffield Utd, although is too early to decide on what he can offer, because he came when club is in total mess, I noticed an improvement against Liverpool, Liverpool is one of top four club in the table and they are able to withstand the pressure mounting on them by Liverpool compared with the strong club played before and also control the limited concede  goal.

Liverpool was a serious test for the new manager of Sheffield. Liverpool is very serious with every game they play; they want to be in the Champions league next season. Manchester City are losing currently by a goal to Aston Villa, and if this game ends like this, Manchester City will be pushed to fourth on the premier league table which will be a position that they never dropped to last season. Manchester City will not find it easy to defend their title as their manager expressed confidence that they would in the interview he had.

Well, finally Manchester United scored the second goal and won the match, McTominay deserves to be man of the match today after scoring 2 goals. On Chelsea side, this defeat will confirm Chelsea status as an unstable team where in each of the last 5 matches they will experience a win, draw and loss but yeah overall it's not bad because the one who beat them was another strong team starting with Newcastle and Manchester United today.

In another match, Aston Villa actually beat Manchester City even though previously we hoped that the two teams would play a draw and Liverpool and Arsenal clearly took advantage of Manchester City defeat they continued to leave Man City behind, Aston Villa unexpectedly managed to take 3rd place even though we know it's only temporary.

After Scott Mc tominay scored in international duties for his country Scotland against Gorgia he was discovered and brought to Manchester United though he has not been a regular starter for United but he's been playing a free role since Erick became in charge at United and yes I think Tominay has gotten more inspiration from Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid since the Young star has been so brilliant for Madrid so right now I think Tominay is hot and he deserves to been given more playing time in the Manchester United team.

And at last Aston villa sealed the win what a laudable performance from the Villa side like who could have believed that Aston villa could win an inform Manchester city in this game, there one thing about football, when a team that's topping the table lose out to another team and the team occupy the top of the table it is real difficult for the initial team to gain back the top position so that's exactly what's happening to Manchester city now like for them to lose the top spot to Arsenal killed their morale hence their inability to play better unlike when they were topping the league and doing better.

Liverpool can never afford to lose such match and they delivered well and moved up to be just two points behind Arsenal, and gave Manchester City complete four points. This match was a test for Sheffield United’s new manager, he tried but unfortunately he is playing with a world class team that’s why he lose.

Manchester City lose another match today, they are now six points behind Arsenal and four points behind Liverpool, and their manager Pep is already making mouth that his team still remains the best in the league and they will
Win the league which to me I think is a mind game, unfortunately his team lost to Aston Villa as expected by Arsenal fans and others.

Manchester United also won their home game against the blues Chelsea.

[Majestic-milf]

 I never doubted the capability of Unai Emery's Aston Villa but I least expected them to beat the Citizens.. and to think that they literally called all the shots to the point that Man City lost control of what they were doing and were forced to defend.
I said it one of my posts that if Man City could find it difficult to beat a club that's struggling like Tottenham Hotspur and instead settled for a draw, what will be the case for Aston Villa who are very fit and this is the result.
 Again, this game has proven that Haaland is not a big game player else we should have seen his impact on the field! I still don't understand why Jeremy Doku didn't play because we've known the Belgian to be a good creator of goals and also tried to get some for himself too.
I really need to commend Aston Villa confidence and resilience because playing a team like Man City should make any team nervous but they made quick work of Pep's men, making them look like untried school boys.
 This win has seen them move above Man City to sit third on the table behind Liverpool and Arsenal and I must say the league has just got more competitive.

Manchester united have scored their second goal, i hope they will be able to maintain the current lead and I am sure Manchester United will do everything possible to maintain it. We are just a few minutes away from the end of the match. What Manchester United will do is just hold their defense tight. I didn't see anything special in Chelsea's performance in the match. Before the match started, I was thinking Chelsea would be able to win the match, but things didn't go well for Chelsea in the match. Since we are only a few minutes away, let's see how the two teams are going to play. Maybe Chelsea will be able to score an equalizing goal before the final whistle is blown.

Goals are scored due to the chances that are created but we just have to take everything slowly. It's our fault our team lost to the Red Devils at Old Trafford, and I'm hoping they bounce back to good form in second leg. I don't have much to talk about concerning the match. My favorite club, Chelsea didn't play up to expectations, they couldn't contend the game and recording numerous inaccuracy in passes, I'm highly dissapointed in these players, couldn't meet up the standards of the match full-time. The match comes to an end, Manchester United 2 and Chelsea 1.

What a performance by Aston Villa. This is on for the history books. They were excellent. Aston Villa knew exactly what they wanted and they executed it to perfection. It's one thing to win Manchester City, it's a whole different game to outplay Manchester City.

I lost my bet because I expected the game to have at least 3 goals but the game was too tight. When Aston Villa scored, I got confident a little because I was sure Manchester City would score too, and from there, more goals would come. Little did I know that Aston Villa had something else planned.
Playing Man City in this manner is a very big morale buster. They'll be very confident going forward now because they will believe they can win anybody in the league.

McTominay with an excellent goal he  managed to save his team from a draw, Manchester united as an unstable team this season including Chelsea, today's win doesn't guarantee a come back so we should not hope let's just be happy for Manchester united, the shame is just too much so they have proven themselves once again, Manchester united had many chance to score goal but I don't know what really happened.

What's really wrong with the city boys I don't seem to understand the issue with them, I thought city will definitely come with full force but no I predicted wrongly and am disappointed, let's no judge yet Aston might maintain the position for long.

Chelsea that was able to draw Manchester City was unable to put in their best performance in the game by allowing Manchester City to win them even with all the opportunities that, Manchester United missed. Manchester United was supposed to score more than two goals in the match but they Sanchez stopped most of their balls. Chelsea should be glad that they got a goalkeeper that was able to prevent them from Conceiving more goals.

McTominay was the man that was able to score the two goals in the match for Manchester United to give them the victory tonight. He is the man of the match because other players had good opportunity of scoring, but they couldn't. Manchester United is now 6th on the table and they are three points behind Manchester City who is the defending champion.

[Coyster]

Another home win for Aston Villa in the EPL, that is 14 consecutive home wins for Aston Villa in the Premier League, unbelievable feat. Aston Villa fans are currently living the dream, they are third in the Premier League and playing fantastic football, if they continue playing like this, then they could even finish in the top four.

As for Manchester City, that is 4 games without a win, 3 draws and one loss, and they definitely didn't play like champions tonight, Villa were by far the better team and they deserved to win. City have failed to win a game this season when Rodri was unavailable, it is clear that City cannot do without him, and i can only imagine a scenario where Rodri gets injured, that is disaster for City, i really think they need to go into the market and buy a few players in January.
