Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[QueenVera]

The defeat of Everton was the most painful because this club almost did not show any competition in the English League and a number of other teams were quite easy to beat Everton. But Pochettino could not do anything in the match and even they had difficulty finding a gap in scoring goals with an average mastery of a much better ball. Chelsea have suffered seven defeats this season and this is increasingly showing that Pochettino was unable to be the expected coach even though they bought players at a fairly fantastic price this season.

This week's match was quite surprising where many top teams suffered defeat simultaneously, such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle, even Liverpool and Manchester City also almost suffered defeat even though in the end they managed to secure three points. Now competition on the standings board will be more interesting, especially for the first, second and third positions because it only has one point difference.

To be honest I didn't expect that came with the weeks game, from the suprising defeat at Old Trafford by Bournemouth to the defeat of Chelsea at Goodison Park, including Arsenal and Newcastle as well, well Chelsea's defeat was expected cause after what they experienced at Old Trafford,it was expected to weaken their morale when they faced Everton yesterday,but I didn't expect Arsenal to be beaten by Aston Villa, even though villa has kept a clean record I expected a draw from that match.

 Well that's the fun of the EPL, it's very entertaining and full of suprises,Liverpool and Manchester City where the only big teams to escape a defeat but also they need to be careful in their next matches because the race for the 1st position is becoming very though and if you snooze you'll lose and drop points like Arsenal did against Aston Villa and now overtaken by Liverpool who are the current league leaders.

They are a competitive team also and we all know it is not easy for a team like Aston Villa to be in the top 3 in the Premier league so they have put in a good work and the result have proven to us how hard they have worked. Winning Arsenal and Manchester City in a row is really something to talk about, and going just 2 points behind league leaders means they are also among the title contenders this season.

Aston Villa cannot be underestimated anymore but I don’t think they can challenge for the league because they are not so consistent in winning against smaller teams and that could cost them in the long run because consistency is all that matters to challenge for the league.

In all seriousness, Villa looks to have absolute strength this season.
All credit to them. The back line is as solid as a brick wall.
Emery is the right manager in terms of players and tactics and will be perfect for Champs League football next season.

Yep, Consistency is the key to winning the Premier League title.
And I hope they can make a surprise at the end of the season like Leicester City did in the 2015/2016 season.

Yeah, I personally never dreamt that Aston villa will ever head head the positions in the EPL, they just came from behind and boom, they are at the top, I am very much surprised by the way they defeated Arsenal in the encounter couple of days ago, Arsenal is known to always concede a goal or two at the very beginning of their match, but by the end of the game, they always manage to make a good comeback, I believe they tried to use this same strategy on Aston villa, but unfortunately for them, it didn't work out as planned due to a very tight defense Aston villa has, that match was a very disappointing one for me since I expected Arsenal to win the game, and thank goodness I didn't stake too much on it..

If Aston villa will offer all that is takes to stay at their current position on the EPL, I trust that they have to full potential to walk away with the title this season, but again, this will be very disappointing for Arsenal, as I personally believe they are doing all the can to win that trophy, they missed it Last season after getting really close to it, if they miss it this season again after being really close to it, I honestly do not know how the management will feel or take it, but all the same, fingers crossed as always.

The situation with Manchester city has really caused them come level of undermining by some other teams, it was almost going to look like they were about getting a back to back loosing record, but it turned out that they still have the ability to protect their reputation regardless of their predicament with injured players, they still have good substitutes.

I know Manchester to be a team with much resilience so I didn't doubt their performance yesterday, although at some point I almost nursed some fear when Luton was leading by a goal, because recently Manchester city seem like they easily get affected when they are goals behind. Before now Manchester city have the form whereby team such as Luton wouldn't be a challenge to them, they would always have an edge over a team as Luton, I was impressed at their performance in the second half and of course Manchester city can always win with or without haland but his presence always provides them with an added advantage.

Returning back from losing record against Luton Town is not really special result for Manchester City regarding how weakness the opponent team face, but return to winning trend is very good recovery for Manchester City without winning last five matches in a row. Manchester City opportunity behind above team standings Arsenal failed get three points and current standings three points from Arsenal and four points behind Liverpool. Bad trend in last five matches little help with the rival teams has inconsistency performance and Manchester City keep in the Premier League tittle race with Liverpool, Arsenal and probably right now have Aston Villa.

Little difficult for Manchester City last night for defeating Luton Town, with Erling Haaland have absent give bigger impact how difficult for Manchester City scoring goals and need waiting above 60th minutes before Jack  Grealish help Manchester City return back to the winning trend.

[Velvet78]

Finally Tottenham have managed to put an end to their bad streak in the Premier League by a great performance.    They played very dominantly against Newcastle home and had a great day at finishing as well. Richarlison and Son were in their good days to carry their team. Richarlison scored 2 goals while Son had 1 goal and 2 assists.

I would have liked to see the same performance from Tottenham against West Ham as well. But this is still a good step forward for starting to recover. Next time they are facing Nottingham away which is technically a more comfortable game. The winning streak should be continuing.

[asriloni]

Manchester City made me really worried about them for once during the Luton game. Because when I saw Luton scoring first it was quite surprising to me. I know how their condition is in the league these days. But they played against one of the easiest teams to beat. They won the game maybe but it should have been much more comfortable than that.

Haaland wasn't even in the squad today by the way. I saw it like he was injured but this wasn't much convincing to me. Maybe Guardiola just didn't want to bring him to Luton. But there was no need for him to win the game of course. Alvarez filled his place nicely.

I think, this injuries is really affecting the Manchester city players and it has made them to look small to some small teams they used to defeat with many goals with so much strength through out the match. Many people nearly lose hope in this match when Luton Town gain access to Manchester city goalpost to scored first goal to lead the match1-0 for the favour of Luton Town in the first half. But despite Erling Haaland was not among the players, they where able to succeed to defeated Luton Town 1-2 in the second half to prove to people that they will soon return back to the first position in the premier league table when their potential strikers recover from their injuries.

It gives very big impact to the club. I remind you that if manchester city has de bruyne who has been also working as the most creative attacking midfielder owned by manchester city. He was also contributing a lot and this is also the main reason he had been called as king of assist. Missing him pretty much the same as the club was missing someone who has been also consistently contributing most of the assists for the club. Manchester city can only rely upon some players like rodri.
As you can see that how manchester city was always struggling in any matches. Even city needs late game to score and make its come back. Manchester city was playing so badly without having some important players like de bruyne.
Playing without him is just a setback for the club. I expect city to face another difficult match soon as the club needs to put lots of efforts to beat the weak club like luton.

[Hanadawa]

Bad trend in last five matches little help with the rival teams has inconsistency performance and Manchester City keep in the Premier League tittle race with Liverpool, Arsenal and probably right now have Aston Villa.

Currently competition is still very competitive. The top teams are only 1-2 points apart. So there is still a chance for all the teams in the top five to catch the top of the standings. City still has a big chance to catch up.

Aston Villa performed extraordinary by beating Arsenal. TBH it surprised me because statistically Arsenal was quite dominant with 62% ball possession and 5 shots on target. I think they will be able to secure second place at the end of the season if they can maintain consistency of play.

City performed quite well even though they conceded first. I hope that this is the start of a positive trend after the poor results in the last few matches. I don't know when Haaland will be available but if City play like this in next week's game against Crystal Palace I think they will find it difficult to win.

[Oluwa-btc]

The EPL is full of surprises. Just a couple of seasons ago, Aston Villa fans would be happy if their club finished 10th position. 16 matches into the season, who would have thought that Aston Villa would be considered title contenders. For the Arsenal vs Aston Villa match, I could see it was already over when Aston Villa scored a goal. I noticed Aston Villa have never lost any game from a winning position, if they are a goal up they will defend with everything they have got.

Every team in the premier league goes through a period time where you lose players to injuries. Aston Villa do not have the squad depth for when this happens.

Steven Gerrard who was in charge frustrated the club and the players, the management the right by showing him the exit. They struggled that season. Having experienced how tough the Premier League Competition have been during his time with Arsenal failing here with Villa would be difficult so far as he is doing the right thing. The struggles with Arsenal defenders and attackers continued that day. Same way they couldn't get good defending against Luton Town. Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli didn't do so well. Bukalo Saka included all flopped.

The points between the first four clubs are not so much, it's competitive and interesting. It shows that the Premier League Competition is still open for four clubs. Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester City all together.

 Chelsea just have a lot to do other than Pochettino asking for new crop of players to be signed. I was really disappointed by their performance yesterday and from how they played, it showed glaringly that they don't have any tactics. How can you bench players like Sterling and Jackson? Although he(Jackson) is still finding his feet, but you can agree that he plays a great role in the attack. Everton are like an injured lion and won't try to take any chances so I didn't expect Pochettino to do so with his team.
 This is the second time in a row that they have lost in their away game and it's sad that instead of Pochettino to admit they messed up, he blamed their performance on lack of good players and I'm beginning to wonder if he knows what he's talking about. Last transfer window, Chelsea spent above a billion pounds on purchasing players and I thought that with that amount spent, they'd be in the top four or close but what are we seeing? Currently they are twelfth. It's as if ever since Todd Boehly took over the club, their lot is to between the tenth and twelfth position.

[Sexylizzy2813]

With all have been going on with Man UTD is like some of us are not seeing what's happening with the way the other players treat the attacker they have, talking about Hojlund, because to me these Manchester United players don't acknowledge Hojlund and what he can do.
Why would you have a player you call an attacker to get goals for the team and they're not giving him that opportunity to do his work? Is so sad to me.
Being selfish won't get goals for the team and McTommy who was ones a bench warmer is now the highest goal scorer for the red devils (if I'm not mistaken). Tommy creates chances and even finds himself in the 18 yard box to get a goal, that's his own part but not helping the player Hojlund not giving him the ball is not healthy for the player and it will kill his morale, the coach need to address this individual football United are playing.

[wakier]

Finally Tottenham have managed to put an end to their bad streak in the Premier League by a great performance.    They played very dominantly against Newcastle home and had a great day at finishing as well. Richarlison and Son were in their good days to carry their team. Richarlison scored 2 goals while Son had 1 goal and 2 assists.

I would have liked to see the same performance from Tottenham against West Ham as well. But this is still a good step forward for starting to recover. Next time they are facing Nottingham away which is technically a more comfortable game. The winning streak should be continuing.

  Tottenham's score was extraordinary in this match because they were able to score a lot of goals into the goal Newcastle. I didn't expect Tottenham to be this aggressive against Newcastle after getting bad results in the last 4 matches. Finally, Tottenham can end their bad record and return to winning ways. I hope In the next match, Tottenham continues like this, Son Heung Min can score goals again like at the start of this season.

   When facing WestHam, Tottenham was not as aggressive, even though technically Newcastle is a tougher opponent, but Tottenham can break it. I hope that in the next match against Nottingham Forest, Tottenham can win again.

The points between the first four clubs are not so much, it's competitive and interesting. It shows that the Premier League Competition is still open for four clubs. Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester City all together.

The change that occurred at Aston Villa is of course Unai Emery expertise in managing his players to perform better in every match they play. Their progress has been unstoppable so far because they were able to beat two big teams, namely Manchester city and Arsenal. They managed two difficult matches well by achieving a victory that allowed them to compete at the top of the standings. We see their game getting better in every match because they are increasingly confident to get up and do their best with their targets this season.

I think their big target is to lead the standings this season because Aston villa are slowly being able to overtake the teams above them. The next two matches will be easy for them if compared to the previous matches. But I hope they don't get complacent too early because this season still has a long way to go and many surprises could happen in the coming week.

Yep that's right, since Todd Boehly took over the club a lot of controversy has occurred, be it a matter of spending on players who are careless and sacking coaches who make no sense. Currently chelsea has a lot of changes both in terms of the game and the mentality of the players, I'm sure the chelsea dressing room after consecutive away defeats must be chaotic, moreover experienced players in the EPL such as Rahim Sterling are reserved, Chelsea does not have much time to clean up soon half the season will end if this continues next year Chelsea will not play in the UCL again.
Many factors must be improved from the team both tactics and mentality of the players, Pochettino is not an experienced coach both in the EPL.

[bitLeap]

It was indeed extraordinary to see Fullham score 10 goals in 2 weeks. What's even more impressive is that Fullham didn't concede a ball in these 2 matches. Now Fullham has entered the top 10 and it is really sad to see Chelsea who have been thrown down to 12th place.

Fulham have been absolutely crazy this week. They actually scored a lot of goals and brought their goal difference back to zero. Next week they will play against Newcastle. These 2 big wins will certainly really increase their motivation and self-confidence. The team's mental condition is very good. And it is Marco Silva's task to maintain the team's confidence.

After the previous week they managed to create 5 goals against Nottingham Forrest, this week they did the same against West Ham, which is a good record for them. But even so, they must not be satisfied with what they are currently achieving. They still have to work hard to further improve their ranking in the standings. Being ranked 10th in my opinion they can still improve it if they can be consistent with their performance.

The EPL is full of surprises. Just a couple of seasons ago, Aston Villa fans would be happy if their club finished 10th position. 16 matches into the season, who would have thought that Aston Villa would be considered title contenders. For the Arsenal vs Aston Villa match, I could see it was already over when Aston Villa scored a goal.

Every team in the premier league goes through a period time where you lose players to injuries. Aston Villa do not have the squad depth for when this happens.

With a tight game, Aston Villa managed to silence Arsenal with a thin score of 1-0. Maybe Arsenal were unlucky in this match, because if you look at the actual match they still deserve to get at least 1 point from this match. But the quick goal that Aston Vila could create in the 7th minute became a nightmare for Arsenal because it was the only goal that was created and made them lose. No matter how hard they tried to equalize, they couldn't do it. Aston Villa managed to block every attack made by Arsenal.

Little difficult for Manchester City last night for defeating Luton Town, with Erling Haaland have absent give bigger impact how difficult for Manchester City scoring goals and need waiting above 60th minutes before Jack  Grealish help Manchester City return back to the winning trend.

Wait, yesterday Manchester City managed to win against Luton although the result was not too big but they managed to get 3 points in this match. At least it's still pretty good after 4 matches Manchester City didn't really go well they got 3 points back in this match.

Honestly I think for December especially when the schedule is tight and boxing day that they have to be ready to face I think even for big clubs now is not too good to do betting because sometimes many matches are unexpected from the final results.

But I hope they don't get complacent too early because this season still has a long way to go and many surprises could happen in the coming week.

Unai Emery's good managerial skills and effort in taking Aston Villa to the top 4 in the EPL standings has shown that the Aston Villa board made the right choice of replacing him with Steven Gerrard, infact he's a very big upgrade to Gerrard and has really tried his best to get the best of his players that's why they're performing pretty good on the pitch and even above Manchester City in the standings currently.

 Aston villa has made the villa Park a fortress this season, they're in a very good form at home and are yet to concede defeat even against the very big teams of the league,  about yesterday they defeat Arsenal to add to their home winning streaks and if they continue this good form both home and away there's a possibility of them getting to the top of the league, because they're currently in 3rd position with about 35points just 2 points behind the current league leaders Liverpool.

[Abdulzuruku01]

at first I thought I was worried that Luton would give the audience a surprise by beating Man City in the first half Luton was ahead with 1 score and Man City still had 0 scores, but I still had confidence that Guardiola was a smart coach who managed strategies and it was proven after entering in the second half, Man City performance was a little different, being more aggressive in putting pressure on Luton goal and managed to score 2 scores with just 3 minutes of rest Grealish closed the winning score for Man City.

maybe I am not the only one who thinks that Man City almost lost after seeing the first half, Luton was able to score, but as a fan of this team, I definitely have confidence that they will be able to win because Luton is not a strong team to be able to beat Man City and yesterday win is hopefully just the start of Man City consistent rise to return to the top of the standings.

I was so sure of it that Manchester City will make a comeback, I don't think I would give up on Manchester City, even if Luton had won 2-0 in the first half. As a true Manchester City supporter, I don't believe there is anything to be worried about regarding that game. I have faith in Guardiola that he will do whatever it takes to win the mighty Premier League this season again. Liverpool currently leads Manchester City by four points, and I'm sure that people will agree with me when I say that Guardiola is a smart coach in comparison to other coaches, and he will soon prove that.

[Kaliandra]

Fulham has been displayed impressive performance yesterday that they have been humiliated West Ham with big scores even in the first half Fulham have already leading the match with scores 3-0 and during the game Fulham was unstoppable and playing with very aggresive since the match beginning and it makes West Ham wasn't able to develop their game and playing under pressure however i have been notice Fulham have scored 5 goals in their last 2 matches and previously they have been win with the same scores against Nottingham Forest

I really didn't expect that result. Because West Ham, which was previously able to beat Tottenham with a score of 1-2 in front of Tottenham supporters, was a very good achievement for them and indicated that West Ham was indeed quite strong. But seeing how Fullham beat them really disappointed me. Fullham scored 5 goals in that match and West Ham seemed to do nothing to respond to Fullham in that match.

It was indeed extraordinary to see Fullham score 10 goals in 2 weeks. What's even more impressive is that Fullham didn't concede a ball in these 2 matches. Now Fullham has entered the top 10 and it is really sad to see Chelsea who have been thrown down to 12th place.

The match between West Ham and Fulham was very exciting, because West Ham had not been able to show their best performance, different from when they faced Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham's performance was very good, even though Tottenham Hotspur had more control of the ball, but in that match. Westham won, yes I thought West Ham would win the match but it turned out they were humiliated by Fulham, and it is true that from the first half to the second half West Ham did not show their best performance. but of the Fulham players I prefer T. adarabioyo because at the back his performance was good, resulting in 1 goal. and Fulham also seemed to defend more in the second half but they were still very good because they were able to score goals. I want to see Fulham's next game against Newcastle. I think here we will see whether Fulham can beat New Castle or not. I think Eddi Howe must have seen Fulham's match against West Ham and of course Newcastle will not underestimate Fulham because Fulham is currently performing well. Yes, in my opinion, Fulham was great in those two matches, but unfortunately when they faced Liverpool, Fulham lost, but of course Fulham was still able to score a goal against Liverpool, so even though they lost, of course they lost. not shy. Yes, Chelsea's performance is declining but maybe next time Chelsea can recover.

[Strongkored]

Yep that's right, since Todd Boehly took over the club a lot of controversy has occurred, be it a matter of spending on players who are careless and sacking coaches who make no sense. Currently chelsea has a lot of changes both in terms of the game and the mentality of the players, I'm sure the chelsea dressing room after consecutive away defeats must be chaotic, moreover experienced players in the EPL such as Rahim Sterling are reserved, Chelsea does not have much time to clean up soon half the season will end if this continues next year Chelsea will not play in the UCL again.
Many factors must be improved from the team both tactics and mentality of the players, Pochettino is not an experienced coach both in the EPL.

Todd Boehly is a businessman and he hopes for quick profits by building his club by buying players at fantastic prices but unfortunately, there has been no change, there was hope when Pochettino took charge of Chelsea and pre-season showed different things but unfortunately they are back to being an average team, they target can certainly get a position in the Champions League, but seeing how they have been able to win but also lose very badly with other teams to enter the European zone it seems difficult to achieve and maybe they will only end up in mid-table like last season if they can get a better ranking but did not occupy the top seven.

[makishart]

Finally Tottenham have managed to put an end to their bad streak in the Premier League by a great performance.    They played very dominantly against Newcastle home and had a great day at finishing as well. Richarlison and Son were in their good days to carry their team. Richarlison scored 2 goals while Son had 1 goal and 2 assists.

Totenham played so well in the previous matches. Son should become MOTM caused by how big his contribution to the club that makes newcastle lost against totenham with lots of goals. Glad to see that richarlison was coming back again after his hiatus.
It is caused by people were always mocking him as a garbage striker and he is trying to prove if what people said was not true about him. RIcharlison was just coming back again. Glad to see him played very well along with son.
Totenham may be climbing up again soon.

I would have liked to see the same performance from Tottenham against West Ham as well. But this is still a good step forward for starting to recover. Next time they are facing Nottingham away which is technically a more comfortable game. The winning streak should be continuing.

Nottingham is far easy compared to the newcastle. I expect totenham to get three points from westham and nottingham soon. It seems like that it is an obligation to totenham for the upcoming games.
totenham is going to win the game with good result. Im very happy to see the result from the previous matches. Totenham has played differently.

[HajiBagi]

It's a bit strange, but this is truly an unreasonable reality. This is the best joke from Manchester United.

I'm really a bit disappointed with the results, but perhaps this is the truth that reflects that the club has lost a lot, they cannot maintain the position of a strong team, their playing style is weak, I don't know if that is the attitude of the team. The player wants to kick Ten Hag out of his position as coach. But it must be said that their team is having a lot of problems. Watching the match between Bournemouth vs MU and this is Old Trafford's home ground, perhaps the disappointment is still much greater. I'm not sure about the next stage, everything is improving, but if they continue in this state, they will hardly have the opportunity to participate in major tournaments next season.

This is not a surprise for me because Manchester united is always be defeated in every game they play this season, Manchester united did not have a good coach and still the team did not want to see that, Erik tag hang is the problem of the team because if he is not the problem why can't he use the squad he use to play against Chelsea? That man is always behind Manchester united performance, as a coach you have to know the squad you will use to always win a match, Manchester united is one of the best team in premier league but they are also the biggest team with poor performance and as far as that coach is still in Manchester united the team will remain like that even in next season.
