Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

I do not actually understand the excuse of financial fair play. How many players did they buy that will warrant the implementation of the fair play rule. I thought in the last window, Manchester United sold some players like Antony Elanga, Fred, Da Gea and so. If it is that important, they can sell some other players like Martial, Rashford, Malacia and some others and get in new blood.

It's a valid excuse actually. I read that they already spent a total of £412 million the last two summers and that means they  have little room to wiggle. They are more focused on offloading players in January transfer so they could have more options in the off-season. The thing is that other teams will not just accept MU's price for their players so it won't be smooth transactions.

De Gea wasn't sold by the way - his contract with MU expired.
I also expect Martial to be sold since his contract is expiring at the end of the season.

You managed to describe the course of the Brenford vs Aston Villa match well, meaning you watched the match. I didn't watch it at the time, but when I saw the statistics of both teams then of course what you said was true. Aston Villa dominated the match and won 3 points in the end, but in essence Aston Villa really had difficulty winning the match because Brentford's defense was very strong.

The squad coached by Unai Emery deserves high appreciation for its good performance so far. Aston Villa has 4 more points than Manchester City in the standings and that makes Villa in 3rd place in the standings currently. The players' motivation is good, but maintaining the team's performance in the Premier League is very difficult. We'll see if Aston Villa can maintain their good form into the second half of the season, but I doubt them.

Aston Villa really had difficulty finding space to score goals because Brentford's defense was so good in the first half and they were even able to play neatly in the second half before two goals occurred in the final 20 minutes of the game. There was tension between Martinez and the Brentford players so that the referee gave Kamara a slightly controversial red card, but because the match was almost over, Brentford was unable to take advantage of player's advantage to equalize.

It is not easy to maintain consistency because the Premier League is quite different and Unai Emery must be careful not to suffer defeat in the next match. The competition will be much more competitive and Aston Villa will be required to play much better. One point is different from the top of the standings and Aston Villa can take advantage of the Liverpool vs Arsenal match to move up to first place if the match ends in a draw.

I don't completely agree that Manchester City won't win the Premier League trophy this season. While their current form may suggest challenges, it's premature to definitively say they won't emerge victorious. The reason is, there are numerous games left in the season, providing ample opportunity for Manchester City to turn things around. Currently, the point difference between Manchester City and the current league leaders, Arsenal, is just 5 points. This gap isn't insurmountable, especially considering past seasons where similar situations occurred. Last season, Arsenal led with almost 11 points, yet Manchester City managed to secure the title in the end.

So, it's essential not to jump to conclusions early in the season. Despite the current challenges, Manchester City has shown resilience and the capacity to overcome such deficits. Therefore, it would be premature to dismiss their chances based on the present circumstances, as football is known for its unpredictability and the potential for teams to make comebacks.

I do agree that we can't say that they can't win, but we also can't say that they will win. So far they do not look like the best team, and the gap is getting bigger every game, they are not playing like they used to so I can understand why they are doing what they are doing. I believe that this is going to be a tough game up next, and if they lose points again then I do not think that they are going to end up with anything that would be nice for them at all.

I believe that we are going to end up with a lot of trouble if we are not careful at all. I believe that City may still end up winning if they go on a big winning streak, and not like they haven't done that before, but in a 10-15 game streak, they will end up at the top easily, just not sure if they can.

Thumping 5-1 win for Liverpool tonight. Much better than the bore draw against Man Utd on Sunday.

Much bigger game vs Arsenal at the weekend though. I will be there, looking forward to it.

As we have always known Liverpool is a big name and they have proven it this night by scoring a very high-margin of of goal against West Ham United. This is not a warning to only Arsenal in the upcoming English Premier League clash, but it is also a warning to Chelsea which is the only big team that is remaining in the EFL Cup. I just checked the starting 11 of Liverpool and discovered that they did not go in with all their big names. They went in with fairly squad that is able to match West Ham United. Jones did the majority of the work from the midfield and got a brace. In the other side, I expected Mohammed Kudus to do something similar, but the match overwhelmed him

It seems like that the performance from westham is still on the decline. As you can see that if liverpool was not even putting salah in and that's amazing to see how livrpool was destroying westham with a lot of goals. I do like the gameplay of liverpool last night.
It was playing fully offensive and it was very amazing to see that liverpool was scoring 5 goals against westham. At least it was giving better result than the match against manchester united. I must admit that if westham has been trying so hard to defend from any attacks but it always comes intensively.
There is a lot of problems happened to the westham. I thought that westham would become as good as aston villa but i was wrong about that. The squad is performing so badly and liverpool got big win against it. Congratulations.

In the opening match of Week 18, Crystal Palace will host Brighton. And Crystal Palace are currently on a six-match winless streak in the Premier League at the moment, and in the match against Brighton, will they be able to turn things around and get back to winning ways.
In my opinion, it is difficult for Crystal Palace to win the match against Brighton, because Brighton has a strong defense so it will make it difficult for Crystal Palace to score goals. And in my opinion both teams have the same quality of players and this will be an exciting match to start match week 18, and I think the score will end in a draw.

Thumping 5-1 win for Liverpool tonight. Much better than the bore draw against Man Utd on Sunday.

Much bigger game vs Arsenal at the weekend though. I will be there, looking forward to it.

Liverpool, successfully overthrew West Ham with a big score of 5-1. in fact, we can predict this match beforehand, if Liverpool will win this fight. in this match, referring to statistics, Liverpool really played dominantly and didn't provide many opportunities for the opposing team. honestly, I have to admit that now Jurgen Kloop's squad is showing a different appearance than last season. specifically, early in the 2022-23 season. now before heading to the final round of the EFL competition, Liverpool must defeat Fulham first. after that, Jurgen Klopp's squad has the potential to win the EFL trophy. and I'm quite sure, their probability is quite large compared to other teams. and it seems that Chelsea will be a strong challenger to meet Liverpool in this final match. even though this is just an assumption and speculation, these two teams have great opportunities and potential. and if at the end Liverpool and Chelsea advance to the final round, yeah, we know that Liverpool's performance is more stable and their game is quite impressive. so, let's just wait before we go too far in speculating. at least, Liverpool's chance of winning the EFL competition trophy is very close to them. however, in football it is unique and quite difficult to predict accurately and correctly. there's no other way, we'll make sure first when Liverpool play the match against Fulham later.

Sure Liverpool is really a very reliable club in the England as they win matches that they find they can comfortably win easily. They really did a great job in this match against Westham in the EFL competition by whipping them 5:1 with goals coming from Dominik Szoboszlai who score the first goal in first half, Curtis Jones scored a brace, Cody Gakpo also scored and Mohammed Salah. It was really a wonderful night for the Red's.

Seeing how West Ham's performance in this match, I don't think they will go anywhere in Europa League. West Ham only make 2 total shots, while Liverpool playing without their full squad can scored 5 goals.

Will Liverpool become a champion in this season? they're the most convincing since Manchester City currently is still on experiment and Arsenal doesn't have a sharp striker.

I hope Manchester United will repeat the same scoreline we saw tonight.

Hahaha, Manchester United cannot repeat the same scoreline for several reasonns which we both are aware of. If this scoreline is repeated; then it is probably West Ham United thrashing Manchester United. The old trafford lads are poor in form and ridiculous in possession. A win for the mufc boys will be a surprise to me.

I do not think that Manchester United will defeat Westham heavily like the way Liverpool did to them yesterday because they will be playing Manchester United in the Premier League and Westham will be more serious about securing the whole 3 points when they play Manchester United.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Teams that took the last campaign too serious are eventually getting their ass beaten by smaller and bigger clubs they gave a lot of headache last season. Newcastle United are lacking form and even West Ham who played Liverpool yesterday wasn't that strong to withstand the pressure that the home side gave them in the Carabao Cup last night.
I wasn't sure if Liverpool would pump in more than 3 goals in that game knowing that they have a stronger game against the league leaders (Arsenal).
They should be mindful of the Gunners, I don't know if we should be expecting a very boring game like what we witness them (Liverpool) play against Manchester United. I just believe that these 5-1 thriller we saw them play against West Ham would be a motivation to them in making their weekend game more interesting.

The game is definitely going to be interesting,but we do not  have to expect the amount of goals we saw in the WestHam vs Liverpool game because Arsenal is a big side and Liverpool is also a big side,so if goals will come in this game,it will not be more than three goals.Arsenal are currently leading the table with a point,and they will want to do all they can to remain top of the table.If they are not able to win Liverpool,it simply means they cannot win the premier league because it's not only winning smaller teams that can give you the league,if you want to win the league,you must be able to flog both big and small teams.Therefore,if I am to predict this game,it will be in favour of Arsenal,and I think that game is going to end 2:1 in favour of the Gunners.

A win for the mufc boys will be a surprise to me.

As long as westham will not be playing use low blocks and manchester united can beat it but the different situation when united must have faced a fully defensive team. Westham was aware playing in the old trafford give them more disadvantage.
Im sure westham will be using its parking bus strategy. It can be a disaster for manchester united to miss more points caused by MU is in the main mission to qualify for the UCL next season. The chance to win is quite big for manchester united.
Im still questioning whether those attackers will able to perform so well against westham. We have seen that how hojlund did nothing for the club. He has passed so many matches and he is still having 0 goals which is bad for him.
Hojlund was not even worth with his price. This guy is not the same like what have been hyped by man u fans in the past called him even better than haaland.

Ten hag needs at least try to give other striker a chance to play. Hojlund's performance is very disappointed to be watched. I will put hojlund out from the squad rather than give him a chance to play.
Ten hag must take the risk. Rashford is always underperform. Manchester united may struggle to beat westham soon. Manchester united needs a miracle to see hojlund to scores for the club.

You're right with winning bigger clubs too especially when they're very close to you as the league leader. Liverpool are not going to be a good host at Anfield in that game. I feel Arsenal too are not going to let their guards down. We know how they (Arsenal) like dropping points when it matters but this game is going to be something Arteta shouldn't play with because Man City are currently out of the picture and if Arsenal get that 3 point at Anfield I don't see Liverpool getting anywhere close to that number 1 spot of the table. I just hope this game don't end in a draw.

[JariKriting]

I hope Manchester United will repeat the same scoreline we saw tonight.

manchester united that needs to be improved is the communication of its coach with its players, not continuing to buy expensive players who are always over rate or expensive.
Now who is still noisy with eric ten hac, jordan sanco has not even been allowed to participate in training in the first team, casemero is also reportedly on the sale list, there is also varane.
If the coach's communication is not in order, buying and selling expensive players again, the same result is just a fuss again selling again.
if not improved bad results in each match will always follow

[3meek]

I wonder if Brighton will be able to beat Crystal Palace away today... Brighton have lost their last two away games, but it was Arsenal and Chelsea... And Crystal Palace have lost their last four home games... I think that one of them will end their losing streak today...

However, there is an expectation of goals even though the chances are still fifty-fifty but there could be a lot of goals presented in this match.
Liverpool and Arsenal are both very strong clubs and their attacks are not in doubt although for Liverpool the problem this time is the productivity of goals especially for strikers is not very good but I still expect something interesting with many goals that can be scored in this match.

Arsenal currently have good momentum especially now that Kai has been able to show a little of his performance which was indeed lost and even always criticized by fans of Arsenal because of his poor performance but slowly he has found a good momentum again to improve performance, on the other hand at this time Liverpool is the host and playing at Anfield will give a strong push for them to win in the big match, it's just that Klopp still needs to rack his brains because Nunez is still very deadlocked and at this time Salah also in the last few matches is quite poor.

[Majestic-milf]

We know how they (Arsenal) like dropping points when it matters but this game is going to be something Arteta shouldn't play with because Man City are currently out of the picture and if Arsenal get that 3 point at Anfield I don't see Liverpool getting anywhere close to that number 1 spot of the table. I just hope this game don't end in a draw.

You think? Someone said Liverpool will have to choose between winning the Carabao cup game against West Ham last night and winning in the weekend game to Arsenal, and from all indications, I see Jurgen Klopp's men are ready to win the two and if possible draw blood when the Gunners travel to Anfield. History has it that the Gunners have found it difficult to defeat Liverpool in their turf since 2012 and the Reds have won six of their last home games against the Gunners. Noweven though they (Arsenal) are doing great now, the game I saw yesterday showed me that for Arsenal to get a win, they'd have to do more, stretch more and even press more.
 Not only are they going to play to maintain that unbeaten record, Liverpool will be looking to regain their 1st position that they felt was luckily taken by Arsenal and I must say that Arteta will literally have to have his eyes peeled to avoid any mistakes from his men because Liverpool are a team known to punish mistakes of their opponents.
 

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

I mean its against a much easier opponent if you ask me compared to Man United but also it was much less important game as well. We are talking about cup game here, so it is not like anyone cares. By logic Liverpool could still win record breaking amount of goals in a year, they just need to win europa and super cup, league and domestic cups look to be alright. I believe only required one is Premier league, if they can win that one, then they will surely feel fine about it and no other win will matter. Premier league title could be highest falling just short of UCL but better than anything else than any team could ever win

To be fair, both the UCL and the Premier League are prestigious trophies that Liverpool aims to achieve. Still, currently, they have only one singular focus: the Premier League. The 2019-2020 season was a highly successful year for Liverpool, winning almost all prestigious titles: FIFA Club World Cup, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and the Premier League.
Comparing the current strength of Liverpool to that time, it's evident that Liverpool has weakened significantly with the departure of several key players, coupled with Van Dijk's dip in form. Liverpool seems to have passed its peak, so winning the Premier League this season would already be a success for them.

Will Liverpool become a champion in this season? they're the most convincing since Manchester City currently is still on experiment and Arsenal doesn't have a sharp striker.

There's still plenty of time left, and we might see many surprises in this season. Things could change in the final rounds, similar to Mancity's miraculous championship in the last season. In my opinion, strengthening the squad in the upcoming transfer window is crucial for the crucial phase of the Premier League's second period.

I hope Manchester United will repeat the same scoreline we saw tonight.

manchester united that needs to be improved is the communication of its coach with its players, not continuing to buy expensive players who are always over rate or expensive.

If the coach's communication is not in order, buying and selling expensive players again, the same result is just a fuss again selling again.
if not improved bad results in each match will always follow

Considering the lack of cooperation from the coach towards the players, it becomes difficult for the players to establish a strong bond and build a good chemistry with the coach. I have seen that ten hag has been involving in the conflict against its opponent and yeah ten hag was the main problem.
Manchester united has been confirming 4 names to be listed in the market for sale. Casemiro has not been including in the future plan of ten hag. This is the main reaosn manchester united has tried to get rid of him from the club.
Ten hag doesn't need him anymore. One of the primary reasons why Casemiro was included in the list of players to be sold by the club is this. Ten hag has been lining up some names to be recruited by the club. The main issue if manchester united has no money to buy all of them.

Ten hag needs more money to rebuild the club again. Selling many players as soon as possible is crucial for Ten Hag, and this is the main reason why. Ten hag have to replaced all of those guys with the new players that may able to perform better.

[Strongkored]

In the opening match of Week 18, Crystal Palace will host Brighton. And Crystal Palace are currently on a six-match winless streak in the Premier League at the moment, and in the match against Brighton, will they be able to turn things around and get back to winning ways.
In my opinion, it is difficult for Crystal Palace to win the match against Brighton, because Brighton has a strong defense so it will make it difficult for Crystal Palace to score goals. And in my opinion both teams have the same quality of players and this will be an exciting match to start match week 18, and I think the score will end in a draw.

Brighton is not very good this season but they are better than Crystal Palace, and Brighton will be the away team favored by the betting market in this match but it is not impossible for the home team to get 3 points in this match.
Crystal Palace quite often score goals in the matches they play, as do Brighton, so my prediction is that both teams will both score goals and the final result will most likely be a draw like you said, and by only achieving a draw their position will very likely be shifted by Everton who will face Tottenham, this is not an easy match for Everton but they will very likely maintain four consecutive wins because they are currently on fire and Tottenham are sometimes showing weak performances that be defeated by Everton, who have been the progressing team in their in the last few matches in the English Premier League.

This game is going to be an entertaining one. You have to realize that Arsenal are going to Anfield and it is not always easy for teams to go to Anfield and go home with maximum points. Liverpool were previously toping the league before Arsenal took over after last weekend round. Liverpool will want to return to the submit of the league, so I expect Liverpool to win this game.
