Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[eightdots]

It's half-time already with Man City losing to Luton with 1 goal to nill, which is one thing I least expected due to the fact that Man City lost it's last match to Aston Villa, drew its last 2 match to Tottenham, and today expected them to be more proactive to play a very good decent game to secure today's 3 points, but it works the reverse is trying to be the case, which I'm not comfortable with, as this is likely to make them fall from 4th to 5th on the table to Tottenham.

So does it mean Man City is also going to lose today's game?

In the end, Manchester City came out  victorious. Manchester City lost points  in four consecutive  matches. And even after the win in this match, Manchester City team is at the fourth place in the table. Manchester City is  4 points behind Liverpool at  the top of the table.
Luton Town were a relatively weak team. However  it was not easy for Manchester  City to win this match. At the end of the first half, the Manchester City team was behind 1-0. Luton Town played completely defensively in the second half. They did not attempt any attack. However, due to the goals of Silva in the 62nd minute and Grealish in the 65th minute, the Manchester City team was able to win the match 2-1. City desperately needed this win after dropping points in a row. This will increase the confidence of the players.

Luton Town played very well in the first half of the match. Actually, they did not think that Manchester City would play this badly and they took advantage of the situation well in the first half. City was playing poorly in the last matches, they could not create positions and could not gain superiority over their opponents. Before this match, I thought City would stop this bad trend. When the first half ended I knew there was a chance City could turn the game around. City made good use of the opportunities they found and managed to score 2 goals.

City are still not playing well, but getting 3 points in this match could be a new start for them.

Chelsea is very unlucky today, just when I was thinking they are now getting better and will be able to perform well in their subsequent games but it turned out they are yet to be stable, they just keep drawing and loosing, watching today's game I could see that Chelsea isn't looking like they will be able to contend for the league title this season.

Chelsea scored four goals each against Tottenham and Manchester City. After 4-1 draws against Tottenham and 4-4 draws against City, we thought Chelsea might be back on track. We will probably see a good performance from this team. But we were wrong. Chelsea's performances are still very erratic. Chelsea lost 2-0 against Everton today. The match was dominated by the Chelsea players but they could not score any goals. Chelsea players have 72% ball possession in this match. They managed to make 16 shots. Even then they were not able to score a single goal. We will not see Chelsea in the top 10 of the table this season.

Aston Villa is impressive, in the last two matches they beat Arsenal and City, and these are championship contenders, so I do not rule out that Aston Villa can to join the championship race. At the moment they are only two points behind Liverpool, but everything will depend on how well they play away games, so far everything is fine in home matches.

They’ve been truly impressive. They’ve by far exceeded the expectations of a lot of people. It’s a possibility that  Arsenal may have underestimated their opponents and when Aston villa scored their early and only goal, they found it really difficult to score. That is despite having more time with the ball, they couldn’t equalize as Aston villa made sure to defend like hell and they got the win later on.
I had thought it would be kinda of an easy win for Arsenal but Aston Villa, with their win, proved they shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Arsenal cannot possibly underestimate Aston Villa, indeed Aston Villa's quality is strong enough for Arsenal to have difficulty in this match.
What Aston Villa has done this season makes them worthy of consideration in the race for the title. The top teams in the Premier League have now experienced defeat against the Aston Villa team and that indicates that the Aston Villa team is really quite strong this season.

In this match, Aston Villa was able to dominate the match and after winning 1 goal at the start of the first half, they had even more confidence in being able to control this match and it was proven that Arsenal were not able to develop their game, it was not much different when the Aston Villa team beat Man City last week Then.

Cryptmuster, I actually thought that Aston Villa was not going to be a problem for Manchester City or anyone else. I also thought that they were definitely not going to be a threat for especially Manchester City because they are not going to be able to win the English Premier League title.

But now I am not so sure about that. you know Aston Villa has definitely improved in terms of performance. I can easily say that they are performing like one of the best teams in the English Premier League. Right, when Manchester City, the best team in the league is actually dropping in terms of performance and consistency, is that exact time when they are improving. Let's see if they can continue to perform like this consistently.

[Majestic-milf]

 The league is indeed becoming interesting and we are seeing a lot of competition. The standing in the top four seem to be shaking as Arsenal lost yesterday to Aston Villa and that gave Liverpool the opportunity to move top place. Currently the Gunners sit second while Aston Villa occupy third. Whether Man City wins or not, they'd still be at the fourth spot which means they need to put in more effort.
 For now we can't be certain if Liverpool will still retain their spot as we'rw seeing how other clubs are desperately looking to level up. Aston villa gave Arsenal a surprise, which for me was quite expected but I don't really think they will get past that spot they are in.
 
 Another interesting set of teams that's making the waves are Everton and Fulham. These two have managed to effortlessly collect three points twice now in a row and I'm especially pleased with Everton as they didn't let that ten point deduction deter them from pushing and I'm beginning to wonder where they (Everton)would have found themselves had they not gotten a point reduction. They successfully defeated Newcastle last time, now it's Chelsea and the beautiful part was they retained a clean sheet. And as for Fulham, they demoralized West Ham today with a 5-0 win and I'm hoping this their present performance won't be a flash kind, but rather they keep it up

Chelsea scored four goals each against Tottenham and Manchester City. After 4-1 draws against Tottenham and 4-4 draws against City, we thought Chelsea might be back on track. We will probably see a good performance from this team. But we were wrong. Chelsea's performances are still very erratic. Chelsea lost 2-0 against Everton today. The match was dominated by the Chelsea players but they could not score any goals. Chelsea players have 72% ball possession in this match. They managed to make 16 shots. Even then they were not able to score a single goal. We will not see Chelsea in the top 10 of the table this season.

I cannot expect much from Chelsea these seasons until they get some solid staff and starting proving themselves and win. Whenever we think they returned to track, they surprise us with a bad result proving that they are a very fluctuating team.
Everton are a very normal team that trying to escape from the relegation zone every season, a defeat with 2 goals against him is unacceptable..
Talking about bad results, I find it hilarious to see Fulham literally trashing West Ham United by 5 goals to 0! This round results are very weird. Luckily Manchester City didn't waste points here too.

[iBaba]

Chelsea are really not doing anything to show that their performance is some how improving gradually, they play without any means of making opposition beg to have the ball, but in this case is just a 50/50 for both sides. The backline of Chelsea is very solid with Cucurella Disasi and Colwill on the mix, but I can't seem to understand why James have to always come on to make the defense line weak, he has completely lost form.
The Chelsea boss need to permanently drop the England right back for good because he's only making the team to be under pressure for no reason. Let's see how they'll play on the second half if the visitors would get a goal.

It was a game over for Chelsea today as Everton's Doucoure and Lewis Dobbin netted the goals that secured Everton a good win over Chelsea and 3 points ahead of their points. In just 20 minutes into the match, Cole Palmer had booked a yellow card while the rest of the team were not looking boosted with their Morales in the match. I expected some strong efforts from Chelsea but reverse was the case as Everton's win over them was another lose after their last match making it a two game losing streak for the Blues.

As the defending champion, Manchester City will continue to try to get out of the bad results achieved in the last few matches in order to maintain the opportunity to regain first place. The match has entered the last 10 minutes, the score is still 1-2 in favor of Manchester City, it looks like the three points will belong to Manchester City in this match, this result is very good for them.

Manchester City needs these three points badly from Luton Town to get closer from Liverpool which is topping the list with 37 points. Manchester City, assuming they will win today's match, will be 4 points away from them which is still far from receiving in a single round. The bad results made Manchester City in a bad position, just like gunners which lost the first position.
In this match, Luton Town scored first then Manchester City was able to score two goals in three minutes. Extra time has started and hopefully they will not take a surprising goal.

Bernardo and Grealish were the two life savers for the Manchester City in this match, I enjoyed that of Grealish more as I thought Luton Town could probably draw with the Manchester City which would have hurt the club so badly as they are currently fighting to gain a chance at the top table right now.

Both Bernardo and Grealish's goals were more like a plan as the two players performed that magic within a blink of an eye. At least Manchester City gained a 3 point in this match and that has given them 33 points and 4th position in the table . Even if Tottenham eventually wins their upcoming match, they cannot overtake Manchester City for now as Manchester City is 6 points ahead of them. The first position which is currently held by Liverpool is still far from their reach for now though.

[Franctoshi]

Another sad day for Chelsea and its supporters, Chelsea only possessed with the ball but couldn't make any reasonable attempt in getting a goal, the frontline player was really dump with their touches and finishings, only palmer that I saw his performance was indeed outstanding and played with full strength even towards the end of the game. At the beginning I knew Chelsea will find it difficult to win Everton and the best results they could manage to get from today's game is going home with a point draw playing at Everton home soil.

[JeffBrad12]

Will pochettino be another tuchel? this club was losing again and again. There is no hope for chelsea to enter at the top again. This club has no creativity and it was becoming a boomerang for chelsea. Look at how stupid the players are.

I wanna fucking laugh at it. Chelsea is a worst team this season. It was not able to winning the game against everton. Some players are being so wasteful. Mudryk? what the hell this guy doing during the game.

Chelsea seems back again to the relegation zone very soon. It's just matter of time till chelsea will compete to avoid the relegation zone. This is a very embarassing result for chelsea.
Pochettino will be sacked by todd boehly caused by this. It was strong against a team that was playing openly but since its opponent used low block and yeah it was struggling to score.

Hell yeah but chelsea may be relegated this season. Good job everton.

[onecall123]

Aston Villa is gradually becoming a force in the EPL under Unai Emery. The club has moved to third position and will maintain the position regardless of the outcome of the Manchester United and Luton Town game, but if the games end in a draw like it is now, Aston Villa will be four points ahead of the current EPL champions.

Arsenal missed out on their chances and had to face the consequences. Aston Villa has been having a fantastic run in the Premier League under the management of Unai Emery. Securing a spot in the top 4 is the dream for this season, and the club seems to be making it! There are still areas to improve, and hopefully they'll make it.

Moving on to Man City vs Luton match, from 1-0 down, Man City secure all three points against Luton. This win is crucial for City, breaking a streak of not winning a Premier League match for over a month. The fact that they conceded a goal against the 18th-place team doesn't matter much, as the victory puts them back on the winning track.

[BIT-BENDER]

At this point Chelsea owners and fans would start to lose faith in their head coach. Losing to Everton today after just coming back from a loss to Manchester united is far too much to take. I think Chelsea are far behind in terms of form and it may take a while before they get back to form.

Also Everton has been fantastic this season and they have been good lately, defeating Chelsea without conceding is a great feet to attain and they deserved the victory today.

[Baki202]

Despite losing, Arsenal actually played quite well and had several good chances which could have been goals. It's just that Emiliano Martinez played very impressively and managed to thwart several opportunities that Arsenal had. This is certainly a heavy blow for Arsenal, though they dominated the game and had more chances than Aston Villa, but that still doesn't guarantee that they won't lose to their opponents because in football anything can happen.

Arsenal will never change and they won't learn if Arsenal was serious minded about carrying the Premier League i don't see the season why they could not win yesterday Arsenal is not good and they have been on the platter of luck. Manchester City deserves the trophy does are people that are serious. The way arsenal played they are suppose to win with all does chances but what did they do they throw away the game. Am not an Arsenal fan but they had the chance to have won, football can not be predictable.

Aston Villa this season always surprises the big teams, now they have managed to beat teams like Man City, Tottenham, Chelsea, and now Arsenal have been defeated, only Liverpool and Newcastle are unbeaten.

Playing well is useless if they lose, and this defeat is a big loss for Arsenal. How could it not be, when their competitors lose, Arsenal also suffers defeat. In fact, Arsenal should be able to take advantage of this opportunity to be ranked first in the EPL. In my opinion, Arsenal's mentality this season is still doubtful about being able to win the EPL League trophy.

Aston villa as shown that even of they did not win the Premier League they want to keep that record of people not been able to beat them at their own. And if Aston villa could beat Manchester City my club who is Arsenal. A lot of clubs are just disappointing me this season look at what Manchester united is playing. I don't want  hear anything Arsenal because I don't like unserious people and I can not wait for de brune then they will feel his impact because Arsenal since arsenal does not want the point so once de brun is back then we are going to take back our position.

[hahay]

Another sad day for Chelsea and its supporters, Chelsea only possessed with the ball but couldn't make any reasonable attempt in getting a goal, the frontline player was really dump with their touches and finishings, only palmer that I saw his performance was indeed outstanding and played with full strength even towards the end of the game. At the beginning I knew Chelsea will find it difficult to win Everton and the best results they could manage to get from today's game is going home with a point draw playing at Everton home soil.

But I am very happy that Everton managed to win this match because yes, with this victory Everton managed to get out of the relegation zone again. Also, if previously Everton had not been subject to a 10-point deduction due to a violation of document falsification or something like that, then of course Everton at this moment would already be in and competing well in the middle of the standings. So yes, in essence I am happy that Everton still has good morals at this moment, so that even though slowly, Everton has managed to improve their performance and position in the Premier League standings from season to season and hopefully this season will be a good season for Everton.

It would not be right to say that Chelsea played poorly. In fact, they were able to have the ball for most of the match, made a lot of passes, but they still had problems scoring goals. Everton had very little possession of the ball, but the match went in a different direction as they scored the first goal. With the other goal they scored in the last minute, they finished ahead 2-0.
Thanks to their 3 wins in the last 3 matches, their league rankings started to get better. They managed to get out of the relegation zone, I am very curious how they will play in the next weeks

[Adams0001]

Chelsea are really not doing anything to show that their performance is some how improving gradually, they play without any means of making opposition beg to have the ball, but in this case is just a 50/50 for both sides. The backline of Chelsea is very solid with Cucurella Disasi and Colwill on the mix, but I can't seem to understand why James have to always come on to make the defense line weak, he has completely lost form.
The Chelsea boss need to permanently drop the England right back for good because he's only making the team to be under pressure for no reason. Let's see how they'll play on the second half if the visitors would get a goal.

I believe Chelsea has returned to their poor form after losing to Manchester United last week and now losing to Everton with a two-goal lead. Chelsea needs to wake up and continue performing well because I did not expect Chelsea to lose against Everton, but they deserve to win because they are in the relegation zone after defeating Newcastle last week. They are playing well and I believe if they continue playing well they can qualify for the Champions League. Chelsea's coach needs to do something big in the next transfer window because I believe Chelsea needs to bring in some new defenders to strengthen their defense because they are short on experience.

Well, the thing is right now Manchester City should not be happy about anything. They should be angry and determined to do better in their upcoming matches in the English Premier League. Because honestly, they have not performed well in the English Premier League in recent times. And if they do not improve their performance very quickly, they will fall off too much to recover. And remember they are the defending champions. So they will have to perform really well to retain the championship title of the English Premier League. Maybe that's why people are actually so much mad at them.

Manchester City have not improved very well, and they need to perform better in the Premier League because I didn't enjoy watching their match against Luton. They won the match, but they deserved to score more goals, and they won 2-1. If Manchester City played against Luton last season, I believe they would score more than 5 goals, because Manchester City were the best club in the Premier League last season. but they are not performing well these days and I don't think they will win the league trophy, because Liverpool are topping the league table and they won't lose any match for now, and it will be very difficult for Arsenal to top the league because they made mistakes against Aston Villa and they defeated them in the match. how am seeing Aston Villa performances these days they are in real great form battle with all this top clubs in the League.

Chelsea scored four goals each against Tottenham and Manchester City. After 4-1 draws against Tottenham and 4-4 draws against City, we thought Chelsea might be back on track. We will probably see a good performance from this team. But we were wrong. Chelsea's performances are still very erratic. Chelsea lost 2-0 against Everton today. The match was dominated by the Chelsea players but they could not score any goals. Chelsea players have 72% ball possession in this match. They managed to make 16 shots. Even then they were not able to score a single goal. We will not see Chelsea in the top 10 of the table this season.

I cannot expect much from Chelsea these seasons until they get some solid staff and starting proving themselves and win. Whenever we think they returned to track, they surprise us with a bad result proving that they are a very fluctuating team.

Talking about bad results, I find it hilarious to see Fulham literally trashing West Ham United by 5 goals to 0! This round results are very weird. Luckily Manchester City didn't waste points here too.

I wouldn't say that Chelsea's squad is weak. Chelsea have a lot of talented players in their squad and they have proved their mettle in the past. A change in Chelsea management has started the misery of beloved Chelsea. Can Chelsea's poor performance be blamed on their management? Because Chelsea management is not getting the expected results after changing the coach several times. Chelsea's performance has been uneventful and the team's performance has been erratic. Chelsea were 12th in the table last season. This season, Chelsea is now in the 12th position in the table. The performance of the team did not improve at all.

[Hyphen(-)]

How could Everton disrespect a club as big as Chelsea, humiliating this expensive squad 2-0 without reply. I can't help thinking that clubs that spend large budgets in the transfer window do not perform according to expectations, and are even very far from expectations. Meanwhile, Everton showed a better mentality, and they did not seem to be affected at all by the points deduction.

Everton is on form this season is on form and are surprising so many big teams with their outstanding performances both home and away. They have been consistent in their last three match after their lost against Manchester United.

The 10 points deduction for Everton looks like a motivation to them because they have been performing extremely well after the points deduction, they are now almost clear off relegation zone with 13 points, almost four points above the relegation zone team; they could have been in the mid table with 23 points if their points was not deducted, I know that they are not a relegation team, they will come back strongly.

After being humiliated by United, Everton got up and beat Newcastle and most recently Chelsea. Even though they had minimal possession of the ball with only 28% control, Sean Dyche squad was able to play effectively and make The Blues bend their knees to them.

The surprising thing is that, they defeated teams that many did not expect they will defeat. I am trusting the team’s effort, they will stay in the premier league and will do better next season.

[rahmad2nd]

Luton vs Manchester City.

As I said in the previous post, City will score at least 2 goals against Luton. It's just that I was too careless and didn't look for any additional information. as it turns out, Haaland was not included in Manchester City's squad for the match against Luton. plus, Pep didn't play his favorite pattern and several players weren't played as main starters. The match is as I predicted for City, but I don't take into account that Luton will be able to score a goal in this match. But, at least City have won their match again after not achieving maximum results in the previous 4 matches in the Premier League. Apart from that, this victory represents quite a sense of concern and joy for TheCitizen supporters.

Everton vs Chelsea.  

According to what I previously predicted if Everton was able to beat Chelsea in this match. Sean Dyche's squad again achieved full points, and increased the points gap from the team in the relegation zone. slowly but surely, Everton has won three matches in a row. On the other hand, it would be a shame if Chelsea had to swallow the bitter pill of losing to Everton. even though in terms of the quality of the players, Chelsea is above Everton. but as I said in the previous post, if Poche doesn't do something to change his squad, Chelsea will have difficulty winning the match after match they play. Even though statistically and technically Chelsea were far superior and dominated the match, the fact was that they didn't have a single big chance. Again, Poche has to work harder to find the right formula for his squad in the next matches before the January transfer window opens.

[KTChampions]

It was a game over for Chelsea today as Everton's Doucoure and Lewis Dobbin netted the goals that secured Everton a good win over Chelsea and 3 points ahead of their points. In just 20 minutes into the match, Cole Palmer had booked a yellow card while the rest of the team were not looking boosted with their Morales in the match. I expected some strong efforts from Chelsea but reverse was the case as Everton's win over them was another lose after their last match making it a two game losing streak for the Blues.

It looks like the game over is coming for Pochettino. For a while it seemed that things were looking up for Chelsea, but now after two defeats in a row they are tied for 11th-14th place with other (very weak) teams. I think that this is already the end even in terms of the fight for the Europa League or the Conference League. The teams ahead are too strong and the gap is already too big. I don't even know how Chelsea will plan the rest of the season - it looks like it's time for them to prepare for the next one  

[imamusma]

At this point Chelsea owners and fans would start to lose faith in their head coach. Losing to Everton today after just coming back from a loss to Manchester united is far too much to take. I think Chelsea are far behind in terms of form and it may take a while before they get back to form.

Also Everton has been fantastic this season and they have been good lately, defeating Chelsea without conceding is a great feet to attain and they deserved the victory today.

It is true and it is a fact that cannot be avoided, and Pochettino is the person most responsible for Chelsea bad results so far. Maybe he will have the same fate as Ten Hag, I mean he will most likely be fired if he continues to bring Chelsea to the brink of destruction. After being defeated by United, Pochettino squad was recently slaughtered by Everton, it is very natural that club officials and fans are very disappointed, especially if they see that their position in the standings is exactly the same as where they finished last season.

An update needs to be made, considering that giving full trust to Pochettino until the end of the season is riskier, at least Chelsea must be able to finish in the Europa League zone. Chelsea transition period was not well maintained, that was the beginning of their current downfall, and even the loan players who were released made a big contribution to their new club such as Lukaku and Ziyech. A wrong move by management, and they have to bear the consequences of that mistake.

[arimamib]

As the defending champion, Manchester City will continue to try to get out of the bad results achieved in the last few matches in order to maintain the opportunity to regain first place. The match has entered the last 10 minutes, the score is still 1-2 in favor of Manchester City, it looks like the three points will belong to Manchester City in this match, this result is very good for them.

Manchester City needs these three points badly from Luton Town to get closer from Liverpool which is topping the list with 37 points. Manchester City, assuming they will win today's match, will be 4 points away from them which is still far from receiving in a single round. The bad results made Manchester City in a bad position, just like gunners which lost the first position.
In this match, Luton Town scored first then Manchester City was able to score two goals in three minutes. Extra time has started and hopefully they will not take a surprising goal.

The importance of securing three points against Luton Town for Manchester City is clear, because they cant stay with a far gap of the points with Liverpool at the top of the table, If they want to defend their tittle. The quick response with two goals in three minutes proves that City determine to turn the match in their favor after conceding the initial goal.

The scenario you've described emphasizes the pressure on top teams like Manchester City to consistently perform and maintain their position in the league. Every game equally matters, and a win in this game would be a crucial step toward staying competitive in the title race. The hope is undoubtedly for Manchester City to secure the win. The unpredictability of football makes every moment in extra time crucial. This positive result for Manchester City continues to navigate the challenges and intensity of the Premier League.
