Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

I was really surprised that Manchester City didn't win today's match against Crystal Palace. Before the game, it seemed clear that Manchester City was in good shape, especially when looking at their statistics. Since it was Manchester City's home game, I expected them to be very strong and beat Crystal Palace easily. Even though Crystal Palace tends to play well against big teams, I thought Manchester City would do everything to win, especially considering they had missed some matches and lost points recently. Unfortunately, the match didn't go as expected, and it ended in a draw. It just shows that in football, even when things seem certain, unexpected results can happen, making the game exciting and unpredictable.

This draw was of course very detrimental to Man City, and this draw also made Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston smile. I hope Arsenal don't waste the opportunity to get away from Man City, because Man City has experienced setbacks twice. I think Man City without KDB can't do anything. The brains of their attacks are always KDB, even if Haaland/Alvarez can't score, usually there are other players who make the difference.

You could say that Man City's weakness recently is their difficulty in scoring goals. Their defense this season is also not very strong. Just look, if you are two goals ahead, you can even draw. Very different from Man City last season.

When the game was played I said that Crystal Palace could score. Crystal Palace managed to score 2 goals in a game where they didn't show much. It is not acceptable for Manchester City to lose points in this match, especially after a 2-0 score. The team always thinks about scoring more goals but forgets to defend. This is not the kind of mistake a big team like this should make. Crystal Palace got behind the defense with one pass and scored a very easy goal. The penalty was a really amateurish mistake.

Things are not going well for Pep and I wonder if he will find a solution to this situation. Pep, who always has a plan in such situations, seems to have no plan for now.

Pep Guardiola will find the best solution for Manchester City after several unwanted results.
In my opinion, this match was due to Manchester City's lack of luck and was a lucky match for Crystal Palace. According to my other view, Manchester City's physical condition is experiencing fatigue.

Making conclusions too early after the draw against Crystal Palace is not something final because Manchester City still has a big chance of returning to the top position.
Previously Haaland and Doku did not play due to injury.

Manchester City currently requires a new player based on their league match statistics, which is very poor in performance. Pep Guardiola manages the club's positions very tactically. He was preoccupied with the club's current state; everything was falling apart at Manchester City, and the fans were pleading for improvement. The absence of Kelvin De Bruyne has had a significant impact on Real Madrid's match performance. They're underweight, and there's nothing left for them this season perhapes they can bounce back to winning ways.

Manchester City fans hope for change and improvement, while fans of the other 19 teams are very grateful for the situation experienced by Manchester City. In England, Manchester City is a team that is hated because of its dominance in the last few seasons, but Pep Guardiola doesn't think about that and only focuses on the continuation of his team. You may be right that increasing squad depth is an important thing for Manchester City to consider this season. They need a midfielder as good as De Bruyne, but I think that's a difficult thing.

But whatever it is, Manchester City is a big team that has the potential to return to its best performance without losing. The first half did not live up to expectations, but they still have the second half of the season to launch their rocket and compete closely at the top of the standings. To this day, player injuries have affected Manchester City's performance.

[rendravolt]

Is Manchester City's dominance starting to collapse this season? because they have had poor results in the last month which has made it even more difficult for them to recover. The draw against Crystal Palace is another blow for Manchester City and Liverpool are certainly very enthusiastic to hear this news because their chances of winning the EPL this season are getting bigger. Now Manchester City is also increasingly close to being knocked out of the top 4 and Spurs seems ready to replace Manchester City next week if Pep Guardiola's squad gets another draw or loses.

Without a doubt, Chelsea still has a long way to go in terms of finishing. Their finishing and creativity in today's match weren't encouraging at all even though they won by 2 goals, they still lacked a coordinated performance that could easily lead to their victory in big and small matches. Chelsea are lucky that they played against a less tough team like Sheffield United. If they played against a big team with this kind of performance they used playing against Sheffield United, they would have lost 3 points 

Chelsea is well-known not a friendly place for strikers. Many top strikers came to Chelsea appeared to struggle. Current Chelsea is the worst version of Chelsea, because they are not only lack of clinical finisher, but also lack of creativity for chances. Chelsea's ability to secure a win in this game, even when not performing at their best, could also be viewed as a sign of resilience and adaptability, but fortunately they were playing against a much weaker side.

The fact that Chelsea managed to secure a win over just demonstrates just their job being done, nothing special. It's so clear to see that Chelsea have to improve on all aspects. it's premature to say that they already have something to compete back at high level. They might be working on specific aspects of their game, but the performance in today's game is not a reflective of their potential in upcoming games.

Chelsea's performance in today's match was very organized. They managed to dominate from the start of the match and earned three points. I have no complaints about Chelsea's squad. This squad is quite strong. But their main weakness is that there is no consistency in the performance of the players.

In today's match, Chelsea players managed to have 78% of the ball possession. Chelsea players do not allow Sheffield United's players to create any good opportunities to attack. But Chelsea cannot maintain the consistency of such performance. Pochettino's match strategy is gradually stabilizing the team. But this is not enough. We expect a better performance from a big team like Chelsea.

Manchester City of late have been dropping points so easy, and with three clubs already above them and in good form, I honestly think this title is slowly slipping away from them...and today's game was one awkward match as City was fully in control of the game and from nowhere Crystal Palace got a goal back and pressure turned against them.. only for Palace to steal a valuable point in the end thanks to a late penalty ..

And for gamblers/punters I honestly feel their pain as this was a steal looking at the price on a City win which was less than 1.2 odds against the draw which was ~8odds,  honestly you can't even explain this...City need to pull up their socks and not having Halaand isn't an excuse!!!!

I think they will improve the current situation every week, but they cannot prevent the losses. Manchester City team will not be able to gain leadership dominance this year, and such losses will cause great problems for Manchester City. In fact, the fans are tired of being at the top alone, and I can say that not having teams like Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa at the top adds a little more excitement to the league. Because it was something that was never expected for Manchester City to have such a bad month with consecutive losses, but I think Pep will pull the team together.

Exactly, I didn't expect Manchester City to draw against Crystal Palace because Manchester City played them very well in the first half and I expected them to win the match, but they failed to defeat Crystal Palace at Etihad Stadium, Guadiola needs to change his information in their next game because it is affecting them on the pitch, Manchester City needs to do something because the way this season is going, Manchester City doesn't have a Premier League trophy, and Liverpool will try to win  Manchester United to give Manchester City gap in the league table, and I have faith in Liverpool since they are in terrific form this season and will defeat Manchester United because it has been nearly 5 to 7 years since Manchester United defeated Liverpool at Anfield, and I am confident they will retain the record.

Arsenal and Brighton play tomorrow, and I believe Brighton are in form, and it will be difficult for Arsenal to defeat them so easily, but I believe Arsenal will try to defeat them in order to continue chasing the league trophy with Liverpool, because I believe only Liverpool or Arsenal will win the Premier League trophy, as Manchester City are already performing poorly and cannot compete with Liverpool.

I watched the Manchester City game and I was really disappointed with the outcome of the game. City dominated the game very well and I didn't know what went wrong for them. I agree with you that Manchester City are gradually losing out on the title race. Their poor form is now a thing of concern.

I am sure many non sentimental Chelsea fans that watched that game would agree that the win the Chelsea team that played against Sheffield united had today doesn't show any form of convincible act to say they have started getting back up. The performance was poor as usual with lack of agility and clinical attacks.

If this Chelsea team had played against a better side than Sheffield they Chelsea would not have won't the game. Like you said, all they demonstrated was a job been done, they are not yet ready to burn energy for the love of the club's badge, many lazy folks that have to understand that they need every point in the competition to stay up the table. There best is just not enough yet.

Honestly a defending champion for that matter dropping valuable points both home and away wouldn't help their bid to defend the title, worst of it Man City only won one out of six of their last matches this is absolutely incredible for a big spender in term of players signings, though it's too early to decide the likely champion however dropping points would increase the gap in term of points between them and the league leader, I also commend Crystal Palace for their brilliant comeback right in Etihad stadium even with their own bad record of winning one out of their last ten matches.

Now there will be a situation where they will definitely be a little troubled with the many schedules they have and the conditions of some players who cannot be played.
Haaland is also currently absent from the squad although their performance has not diminished in terms of attack and possession but their goal productivity and defence seem to have gaps.
This is clearly not good if Manchester City continue to allow it although I still believe they can still compete until the end of the season for the championship but the unfavourable results in the last few matches are disturbing them in the standings for the time being.

Michael Olise became an important player who destroyed 3 points for Manchester City this week and with a score of 2-2 at the end of the match, Manchester City must be willing to get 1 point back which makes them closer to Tottenham and behind 3 points and could even be 6 points if Liverpool get 3 points back in their match later.

In fact, they were close to winning today but couldn't prevent a goal in the last minute. While watching the game I asked myself where are the important players like Ilkay, Haaland, KDB and Rodri. KDB has been injured for a long time. Ilkay has been transferred to Barcelona. Yes, we know these things. But while I was watching the match I was looking for these players because they were just like Xavi and Iniesta in Barcelona. Ilkay's transfer to Barcelona and KDB's injury put them on the decline. But I have to admit that I'm happy that they dropped points because it's an incredible chance for Liverpool.

Hmm maybe possibly Manchester city should be not qualified himself for UEFA champions league if they played this types of game recently they lost their best performance status in last 8 match and can't hold up his aptitude like a previous.I don't watch the whole game, but after the match, I got to sit down to watch the highlights, so it seems like Machister City plays such a beautiful game; they are just dominating the game, but unfortunately, they don't get to hold up the winning streak. I mean to  winning the game to secure the points. But I think this match is quite good, while their recent matches are so bad that they could not have been on the way to winning the game. It seems that if Manchester City could not return his confidence and didn't regulate their team status, maybe they could not be able to play in the UEFA Champions League next season. Or maybe Pep have chances to sack him off and bring up some new Coach.

This failure is not the first time, in fact in several matches, Man City has failed to get points, both from top and middle to low clubs. This is really disappointing if you look at Man City's performance in the EPL this season. Failure after failure was created, even against a club like Crystal Palace they were unable to win. There were several mistakes made by Man City players, especially the penalty goal scored by Crystal Palace at the end of injury time. Even though statistically, Man City is far superior, but they are not able to score more goals so they are at full risk of being overtaken. I'm sure that if Pep starts to worry about the condition of his squad, there must be new reforms here.

We have already enjoyed the full time play of today's match between these two teams Burnley vs Everton. In the first half of the game Everton team players used two attacks, Everton led by two goals against Burnley. Everton's Amadou Onana scored the first goal in the 19th minute of the game. Later, Michael Keane managed to score another goal in 25 minutes of the game. Everton dominated most of the game. Everton players put up a great fight with 63% of the ball at their feet. With the skill of Everton's players, it looked like they could score more goals. But Everton players could not score any more goals in the second half time game. Nothing good was seen in the Burnley team.  It has been noticed that Burnley team players play very randomly. Today's loss is very painful for Burnley fans.

Because it was something that was never expected for Manchester City to have such a bad month with consecutive losses, but I think Pep will pull the team together.

Don't underestimate City, they have gone through declines in previous seasons, but at the end of the season they always regained the lead. I agree that the situation is more difficult for them now, because there are several teams that are beating them and are in great shape, but don’t forget that this is Guardiola, he loves difficult situations and knows how to find a way out of them. It is also possible that after a successful season it will be difficult for them to repeat their previous success.

Another draw between Crystal Palace and Manchester City will not put Pep Guardiola in a good mood, as I know he will be right now. He did not anticipate Crystal Palace to play this well, as they are winning by a score of roughly 2-0 and Crystal Palace is scoring goals back. The most upsetting thing is that Crystal Palace ended up winning 2-2. This indicates that Manchester City's performance is lacking, which will lead many fans to believe that their team has no chance of winning the Premier League trophy this year.

The only player I believe is missing from the game is Haaland; all the other players are there, and I think that whatever Haaland can accomplish, Alvarez can too. The players are in good shape, but despite my knowledge of how dangerous Crystal Palace can be at times, nobody will think that the Manchester City team's lineup will allow Crystal Palace to draw with them. This has also given Liverpool the chance to put in more effort in order to gain more points and win the league.

This season, I believe it is already inevitable that Manchester City will fail since they have wasted their potential from the start. Ever since the Man City draw with Chelsea, they have never won any home games again for  their Premier League. Can you imagine Manchester City, who were ahead by two goals, instead of maintaining their ground of home to avoid a Crystal Palace equalizer, but they were missing a luze guard.

They drew 1-1 with Liverpool before drawing 3-3 with Tottenham tonight. Today again they draw 2-2 with Crystal Palace, which ensuring that Manchester City's reign is over this season. Currently, Manchester City's has dropped to fourth position in the Premier League standings, which was extremely disappointed for them.

Manchester city match against Crystal palace surprised me like imagine Manchester city was leading them by 2 goals only for Crystal palace to come from behind and equalized the two goals though already I have said it that Manchester city needs to focus more on their defense I think that's where Pep Guardiola needs to do more work as they concede too many goals in their matches both the ones they win and matches they don't win at all.

Manchester City's consistency in the last few games has been a bit compromised and I think this will continue to be the case at least until their schedule eases up because after all now is the hardest for some of the big clubs in the EPL who have several competitions and are faced with a tight schedule in the EPL for the month of December which is famous for their boxing day.

In today match they could only draw even though victory was in sight. but it is still a little better than not getting any points at all.
Manchester City's problem is still quite the same, their fitness is still disturbed because in the last month there have been so many matches that they have to run which makes Pep have to shorten some players and fatigue like this is what makes their focus disappear. But I don't think this will take long if in the end some players have had enough rest Manchester City will come back better.
