Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Ahli38]

I knew Manchester City could find it hard to win against Aston Villa in their Premier League match yesterday because Manchester City failed to win against Tottenham, who failed to win their last 3 Premier League matches. For now, Liverpool is the only club that can stop Arsenal from not winning the Premier League trophy.

I was wrong because I forgot not to take into account Manchester City's match, which failed to beat Tottenham in the previous match, when at that time Manchester City should have been more favored because they had a home game. But they could only hold Spurs to a draw. I forgot not to remember that. So I bet on Manchester City in yesterday's match against Aston Villa. And yes, surprisingly, Manchester City actually suffered a defeat, which indicated that their performance had declined since the previous week.

Aston Villa could really corner Manchester City in this match. Meanwhile, Manchester City can really only play in the midfield and have difficulty making attacks and penetrating the layers of defense built by Aston Villa. This time I must not underestimate the Aston Villa coach, Unai Emery. Because it seems like he is really smart at making strategies. He was able to make the strategy created by Pep not move in that match.

However, I think Pep is a coach who will immediately be able to overcome the problems or deficiencies in their squad. Pep will definitely make a new, better strategy. Because the strategy they are currently using seems to have been studied by many other teams. So that other teams can start to break the strategy used by Manchester City.

Actually, winning in this match was not too surprising considering that Man United was the host of the match. But what is surprising is that their performance has improved slightly this time. This is like last season. Last season, Man United started to improve towards the middle of the season. And maybe this time they will be able to do it again.

Both teams played well in this match. In fact, I think that Chelsea also made progress in their performance in this match. It's just that the home team seems to still be superior. Chelsea only controlled more of the ball but didn't create many good chances. But Man United created a lot of opportunities even though many were wasted. But overall Man United exceeded my expectations for this match.

The appearance of these two teams is difficult to predict. Manchester United and Chelsea are both inconsistent. I previously thought this match would end in a draw but in fact the Red Devils were able to win the match. Against Chelsea is certainly a match that United must win because several unsatisfactory results have made fans very disappointed and even rumors of Erik Ten Hag's dismissal have begun to be raised. But this victory certainly made ETH a little calmer because the success in getting three points still maintained United's position in the competition for the top six. Meanwhile, Chelsea, who were starting to find their rhythm, had to be willing to go home empty-handed. Pochettino is certainly not satisfied with the performance of his team, but slowly he is starting to be optimistic about his squad. Even though they lost, the Blues' game looked very developed.

What happen to Manchester City, Aston Villa successfully pressuring Manchester City and that make Manchester City can only give 3 shots. The absence of Rodri really make Manchester City looks like a mediocre club. Alvarez can still able to replace De Bruyne, but there's no one can replace Rodri even they have 3-4 defensive midfielders.

Again and again McTominay give a big contribution for Manchester United, I think he deserve to play in left wing or center forward position.

Aston Villa puts way too much pressure on Manchester City; they have six corners while Man City's have  zero, and Rodri's absence affects Manchester City's performance. When facing a major club like this, Guardiola ought to have some capable players to take Rodri's position. They need to be able to play better, Manchester City has now drawn three straight games before losing to Aston Villa. I don't think Manchester City can win the league this season because of the performance against Aston Villa, falling back to the 4 place in the league, which is very disappointing from the team. In addition, Rodri and Doku was not there, so I believe Guardiola will have another player in order to replace Rodri.

Many people doubt that Manchester United will lose, but i disagree with that no matter how bad they play, they will beat Chelsea. Manchester United actually performs better, if it weren't for the Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez that saved more goals, Man United would have won by more than two goals. With this performance, I believe Manchester United will win more games but will not finish in the top four. However, McTominay helped Manchester United win after Bruno Fernandes wanted to fail them by missing the penalty. By keeping Rashford on the bench, Ten Hag's is making the best decision.

I didn't aspect that Manchester United would defeat Chelsea, To be honest they did a fantastic job in yesterday's match. This demonstrates how Manchester United's play has improved. Manchester United deserves to win because of the effort they put into pressing Chelsea yesterday. Chelsea try to play better in the second half; otherwise, they struggle throughout the first half of the encounter. Manchester United has extend  Chelsea rent to 10th position.

Apart from that, Man United can win over Chelsea. I watched the Man United vs Chelsea match. Man United really played very well, not because Chelsea played badly, but Man United's game in this match really just flowed like there was no burden, all the players wanted to fight, not soft as usual. I think this is a good start for Man United to continue to rise and continue to maintain consistency in every match.

Manchester city can find the solution after the transfer window will be opening again. We are only a few weeks away from that moment. Pep can try to search someone who was capable enough in helping the club to play even better.
I hope that rodri or de bruyne will be able to comeback as soon as possible. City losses its soul without all of them.

Man City does not have players like Rodri and De Bruyne who are unable to score goals and win. Players like these two are truly important players in Pep Guardiola's system. Yes that's right. In the next transfer window, I think Pep must immediately look for a replacement for these players because if he only relies on these two players, it is feared that Man City will not be able to defend the EPL title this season.

I wrote yesterday that Villa is not an easy opponent for Man City and now Villa are in third place in the standings... I thought that City would score, but Villa won with a minimum of one goal... It was a good match... Today it will be interesting to watch the game Spurs vs Hammers...

That was my observation too yesterday, i knew Aston Villa was a tough opponent and they could give Manchester City tough time especially that they played at home. They are very strong at home and the facet that they were 4th on the table proves how good they were. Now after successfully winning Manchester city they have now move up ahead of Manchester City on the table and now they currently sit at 3rd position.

It was an interesting match for the home team but I wouldn’t say the same for Manchester City because they were under pressure almost throughout the match, they struggled and only had 2 shots on target which was very poor for a team like Manchester City.

[Phoenix Anka]

Manchester United beat Chelsea in their last match. Manchester United started the season very badly but now they look like a good performing team. With three wins out of the last four matches in the English Premier League, they have managed to climb well up the points table. Manchester United is now the sixth team in the points table and their number of points is 27. If Manchester United is more serious in the upcoming matches and if they perform well in the upcoming matches then they will be able to take their position higher.  Point table number four and number 5 team with Manchester United's point difference is only 3, so if they can perform well in the end, then Manchester United must be able to be in the top 5 of the point table.

Chelsea now sits 10th in the league. They are like bombs ready to explode. It is very difficult to predict which team they will be strong against. They tried in the Manchester match but were not successful. Two teams whose performances were questioned competed and the winners were the Red Devils. McTominay undoubtedly played one of his best games. Being the man of the match in such a match made him very happy.

[BRINIRHA]

3 consecutive draws and ending with a defeat in the last match, is something very terrible for Manchester City. I don't see Manchester City as usual in this match, Aston Villa really succeeded in making it difficult for Manchester City so that their game did not develop at all. Instead Aston Villa managed to play well, although only 1 goal they could create in this match, but that was enough to make them win.
It seems like Manchester City are always in trouble when playing without their mainstay midfielders, their lives are really in the midfielders.

Yes, I agree that in this match Man City did not play as usual. Unusually, Man City had difficulty making attacks. Guardiola must have been devastated by this result. Because the squad he trained really couldn't do much in that match. The effectiveness they usually have was lost in this match. And yes this really benefits Arsenal and Liverpool. Because now Man City is starting to be further behind by points. Even though it is not a big difference, Arsenal and Liverpool will certainly have more potential to continue to maintain their current position in the standings. And who would have thought that Man City would be ranked 4th and be overtaken by Aston Villa. This is truly beyond everyone's predictions. But because we are only in the middle of the season, anything can still happen. But if Aston Villa, Liverpool and Arsenal continue to get positive results in the next matches then this will be a loss for Man City. And I'm worried that Man City will continue to have bad results. Fortunately, in the UCL, Man City is still superior.

Spurs vs Western United today? It means we're watching top flight actions this midweek and its really interesting watching how these clubs do epic comeback and recording winnings with full confidence and statistics. EPL fixtures becomes more interesting when the best results are yet to come. Watching Aston Villa grabbing all three points from Manchester City was big slap on the faces of the citizens who came to win match and at the end of the day, the ended up been disgraced by an average club as these elite clubs supporters put it.

[davis196]

No team can maintain a top performance for a long time frame. Manchester City is no exception from this rule.
Erling Haaland had the opportunity to score a goal and equalize, but he missed it. Aston Vila plays really good and Unai Emery is a very experienced manager. Manchester United managed to win against Chelsea, but I'm not impressed by their performance. Both teams are struggling to find their style and to achieve consistency. So far, Arsenal looks like the team with best performance, but they usually start losing points during the spring. I really hope that the domination of Manchester City over the Premier League will come to an end in 2024.

Judging from the statistics of Manchester City's match last night it was very different, they seemed to have lost their real game, maybe there were several factors, firstly they lost Kevin de Bruyne and secondly Rodri also didn't play because of card accumulation, this really made the game worse. Manchester City is declining, but behind Manchester City's defeat it is also proven that Aston Villa is currently really a team that the big six teams really need to be wary of.

Missing rodri was obviously making the gameplay of manchester city looks so terrible. Guardiola didn't have someone who can play as good as rodri and de bruyne. What's the point to have many great players while they were unable in scoring against aston villa?
Aston villa was even dominating the match with so many counter attacks that were almost conceding city with lots of goals. City has been decreasing a lot when it must be forced to play without rodri.
Some players like alvarez or even haaland can do nothing without having a creative player like rodri. guardiola needs to target a new midfielder as soon as possible.

Manchester city can find the solution after the transfer window will be opening again. We are only a few weeks away from that moment. Pep can try to search someone who was capable enough in helping the club to play even better.
I hope that rodri or de bruyne will be able to comeback as soon as possible. City losses its soul without all of them.

Indeed, Rodri's absence clearly affected Man City's performance when they lost to Aston Villa. So far, Rodri has been a key player for City. Rodri became the driving force of City's game.

Rodri is absent because he has been sanctioned for accumulating five yellow cards. Without Rodri, Pep Guardiola made an experiment by playing John Stones and Manuel Akanji as midfielders when Rodri was absent. Pep Guardiola admitted that Rodri's absence had an impact on City's performance. Past results and Aston Villa's opponents cannot be ignored. Guardiola must immediately make efforts to ensure that this situation does not happen again in the future. Rodri is of course an important player, but when he is not around, Guardiola has to find a way to win without him.

Manchester United beat Chelsea in their last match. Manchester United started the season very badly but now they look like a good performing team. With three wins out of the last four matches in the English Premier League, they have managed to climb well up the points table. Manchester United is now the sixth team in the points table and their number of points is 27. If Manchester United is more serious in the upcoming matches and if they perform well in the upcoming matches then they will be able to take their position higher.  Point table number four and number 5 team with Manchester United's point difference is only 3, so if they can perform well in the end, then Manchester United must be able to be in the top 5 of the point table.

I didn't aspect that Manchester United would defeat Chelsea, To be honest they did a fantastic job in yesterday's match. This demonstrates how Manchester United's play has improved. Manchester United deserves to win because of the effort they put into pressing Chelsea yesterday.

I was not surprised that Manchester United beat Chelsea yesterday night because Chelsea had not been consistent in winning their Premier League matches. Secondly, Manchester United had won Chelsea in their previous meeting in the Premier League. This Manchester United win against Chelsea will change Manchester United player's attitude.

Eric Halaand has had chances a few times, but it is very difficult for him to always be consistent, especially when Manchester City is experiencing a decline as a team. I think one of the biggest problems is the lack of Kevin De Bruyne in the midfield.

I think his absence is clearly felt. Also, City's situation aside, Aston Villa and Emery definitely deserve praise, they were leading the Liverpool match last week. Liverpool managed to win with the help of a little luck, but they beat City this week is incredible. Aston Villa team can now play for the top.

Honestly, it's going to be a battle between Arsenal, Liverpool, and City. Anything can happen, and other contenders won't take things lightly.
Who knows Man City will catch up with all of them and win the Premier League again! Remember last season when Arsenal looked like they had the league, but in the end, Man City won. If Arsenal don't use this chance wisely, they won't see the league again. It's too early to predict, and everyone should understand that.

We have tough elite clubs that are ready to hold up their performance for these elite clubs and they've targets to achieved this season. Arsenal have been longing craving for the EPL title and now is their perfect moment to continuing been ranking first and Mikel Arteta wouldn't want anything to ruin the club's stats currently, probably not now that they have tough rivals. I'm not even bothering about Manchester City because I'm confident they will still bounce back to winning track and they just need to points at the right spot to return back to streak winnings.

[rendravolt]

Can it be said with statistics like this that Unai Emery knows the weaknesses of Pep Guardiola's strategy? because the comparison of shots is too far apart and it doesn't reflect the Manchester City game that we know. Apart from that, even though the ball possession is not that different, Manchester City still cannot create the same opportunities as Aston Villa did.

This was also Unai Emery's first win against Pep Guardiola and in the midst of fierce top-flight competition, this narrow victory also meant that Aston Villa managed to shift Manchester City's position in the standings. I'm curious what happened to the Manchester City squad, even though they continue to get less than good results over the last month. If it continues like this, then Arsenal will have more freedom at the top of the standings without any pressure from Manchester City.

Liverpool managed to win with the help of a little luck, but they beat City this week is incredible. Aston Villa team can now play for the top.

Erling Haaland without doubt is one of the best strikers in football at the moment but his style of play I know will always affect his goalscoring chances when he's not been fed with the ball to convert. The Norwegian finds it very difficult to control the ball with his feet as well as falling deep to collect ball from his teammates and force attack with it and that's why he's been finding it very difficult to score as much goals as he did last season that City had a Kelvin De Bruyne who was creating chances supplying all the passes needed to score a as many goals as he did score last campaign. I know that Haaland's style of play is most times as a result of the instruction from the club manager Pep Guardiola but he must learn how to fall deep, take the ball and create goalscoring chances when his team are finding it difficult to break the defense of opposing teams.

Aston Villa manager has been doing a lot of great work with his team since the start of the season and many would never had predicted to see them in third position of the English Premier League table after 15 league games at the start of the season. Yesterday, he defeated his Manchester City counterpart and compatriot Pep Guardiola for the first time in his managerial career and that'll surely be a good motivation for the Spaniard to do more for his Aston Villa side.

I was shocked to see Aston Villa dominate yesterday’s game like that. Then I went to the lineup and saw how Pep started the game. In the absence of Rodrigo, he fielded Akanji and John stones, when they are not natural midfielders. Honestly I am beginning to see pride in Pep. How will you bench Kovacic and Matheus Nunes and start your midfield with center backs against an inform Aston Villa side that haven’t lost at home this season.
The problem yesterday was that..no one has the eye for the final pass there and there's no threat on the wings. Bernardo Silva had to come in for control, which wasn’t supposed to be so.

Honestly, teams just do not do what Aston Villa did to Manchester City. They won possession in the final third of the pitch 9 times in the first half alone. Aston Villa were able to squeeze the game, making it far too congested for City's midfield to cope with it. They were unable to find the space required to spring the trap and set Haaland away. No team has done that more in a full game all season.

[Ahli38]

I wrote yesterday that Villa is not an easy opponent for Man City and now Villa are in third place in the standings... I thought that City would score, but Villa won with a minimum of one goal... It was a good match... Today it will be interesting to watch the game Spurs vs Hammers...

Watching Aston Villa grabbing all three points from Manchester City was big slap on the faces of the citizens who came to win match and at the end of the day, the ended up been disgraced by an average club as these elite clubs supporters put it.

The West Ham vs Spurs match will definitely be a very exciting match to watch. But unfortunately this match will be quite difficult to predict. Well, I know that under normal circumstances Spurs would be favored in this match. Because Spurs will even be playing at home this time. But the problem is that Spurs are still not stable enough. They even lost to Wolves, Chelsea and Aston Villa previously. But because Spurs in the previous match managed to hold Manchester City to a draw at Etihad Stadium, perhaps this could be a sign that Spurs have improved again.

West Ham hasn't faced many strong teams recently. But West Ham have held Newcastle to a draw this season. But at that time West Ham was the host. And it's different from this match where West Ham will play at Spurs' headquarters. Well it will be very difficult for West Ham. So I think betting on Spurs is likely to be much better. And actually, if Spurs manage to win this match, Spurs will get the same number of points as Manchester City.

I understand why you still doubt Tottenham. Because the draw that Tottenham got when facing Man City was because Man City is not in good condition at the moment. Because Man City even lost to Aston Villa. So Man City's previous match, which was held to a draw by Tottenham, becomes more understandable. But still, for me, Tottenham will still be superior in the match against West Ham. Because even though Tottenham are not in their best condition, Tottenham will definitely win when they host and face a team that is ranked lower in the standings. so yeah I agree that betting on Tottenham would definitely make us more comfortable. Even though Maddison hasn't returned yet. But H.Son is definitely enough to face West Ham.

Aston Villa has still maintains there unbeaten home record since October till now, I was actually certain that Manchester City will break it yesterday but it was quite unfortunate for them seeing what they did not believe will happen on there match against Aston Villa with the way Aston Villa was able to tackle them very hard and giving them no space to score, I was even surprise with how Aston Villa was able to tackle Haaland in such a way that there was no opportunity to perform the way he normally does.

Perhaps this there match reminds me of Manchester City and Chelsea match that everyone was very sure and certain that Manchester City will win Chelsea but little did they know that Chelsea will surprise everyone at the end, so of course I had the same believe yesterday that Manchester City will surely win Aston Villa but I was very surprise with how dominating Aston Villa was becoming and at last wins Manchester City.
