Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[TastyChillySauce00]

This match was a historic day for Rasmus Hojlund because it was the first time he scored a goal in the Premier League and the proud thing is that goal which was the decisive victory for Man United. It's not a guarantee that he will start scoring goals again, but at least it will be a motivation for him and increase his self-confidence.

Yeah, Hojlund is really happy after he scored a goal, it's really surprising how they can overcome from lagging behind of 2 goals. I thought the match was an easy for Aston Villa. Since Manchester United won against Aston Villa and Nottingham Forrest won against Newcastle United, the next match will be interesting since Manchester United will meet Nottingham Forrest.

Villa can't keep the rythm and this is the main reason why villa was declining so hard during the second half. Im not even expecting manchester united to create dramatic comeback. Manchester united was performing so well during the match. I think that this win is really motivating the club to play even better but it seems like that we will be seeing another decling to happen with manchester united. This pretty much the same like when MU was winning against chelsea in the past. Manchester united is only winning against aston villa and this can't be said that if MU has been back again to the its best performance.

According to head to head, Manchester United won all the five matches.

MU is still keep it to have perfect head to head against aston villa. Villa was able beating almost all of big clubs but dramatic comeback from manchester united was obviously hurting aston villa. It seems this result is going to give an impact to the performance from aston villa's players in the future.
Rashford is once again performing so poorly and i think that he shall not become starting line up. It seems like ten hag was changing garnacho's position to the antony's position. It surprises me he played as RW.

Ten hag may be focusing to use the same strategy for the upcoming match. He feels so confidence with the current strategy. Antony may not get a spot in the main squad.

Manchester United made an impressive move that surprised many spectators today, Manchester united gave a good fight in their match with aston villa, the visitors put up an impressive outplay in the beginning of the match, but unfortunately the couldn't maintain the lead film the end of the match, first half of this game was dominated by Aston villa and the dominance helped them to win the first half of the the match with 2:0, ordinarily, this first half result is suppose to give them a winning in the entire match but they failed to defend the goal and allowed Manchester United to bounce back, Manchester united was favoured in this match, I didn't see this coming, what an impressive performance by Manchester United, at least a little gap has been closed in respect to their league position.

Congratulations to Manchester United! It's good to congratulate Manchester United because it becomes unexpected when a team in poor form wins a game. To be honest, I wasn't expecting Manchester United to win the game again because they had already defeated them by scoring a goal in the first half of the match, and United isn't a good enough team for everyone to think they can win a game after losing by a goal in the first half. Manchester United makes a sincere effort because they play an unexpected game that nobody anticipates.

After Garnacho scored two goals in the game yesterday, I think Manchester United will realise that he is a talented young player who they should try to keep on the team. Hojlund then scored the game's final goal, his first Premier League goal since joining the team, and if Manchester United keeps playing like this, it will benefit the team and even make their fans happy.

We really have to see Man United in the next matches. If they continue to win in the next few matches then maybe we can say that Man United is starting to become consistent again. But if it turns out that Man United failed to win in the next matches then of course that is a sign that Man United has not changed at all.

Congratulating seems fair enough for Man United. They performed pretty well with the struggle. After losing 2 goals they were able to turn things around with 3 goals. The art of today's game they were quite good. But I don't believe this is a rising moment yet. Because some victories like this they have won but then they performed poorly again. Perhaps this gives a bit of security to Ten Hag temporarily because he will not be sacked anytime soon.

A very valuable victory for Man United and Rasmus Hojlund. I agree with you, this victory does not necessarily indicate that Man United has risen because as we know their performance has been inconsistent so far. There are times when they win and make a surprise but when they get the expectations of many people, Man United often plays badly and loses to the teams whose level is far below them.

Man United will play against Nottingham Forest in the next match and I think this will be a fierce battle for they both. If once again Man United can play well (as a solid team) and get a win, I think that could be a way for Man United to shine again.

Actually, Aston Villa is also good, currently they are in the top 3. So I didn't crumb them at the beginning. Being 2 goals behind already makes me feel sad. But the changes Ten Hag made in the 2nd half were quite good. At least they didn't lose again. Garnacho and Hojlund became key players. They were able to perform optimally in round 2. This condition is quite good after 4 losses for Man United. But this result does not give a good picture for the next game. Man United is still in an unstable state.

[bangjoe]

That was unexpected, but Ten Hag saved his ass. Poor Emery couldn't do anything against this. Aston Villa thought they won the match but Højlund reminded them the game is 90 minutes. Good for him as well, first league goal at the exact right time!
Aston Villa could be the leader but they missed a great chance. Surely they will learn from this but now it's though for them to pick up where they left off. They have to make 4 wins in a row with that fixture but their morale would be pretty low after today.

But if you look back at the match it was very exciting and very exciting, I regret it because I bet on Aston Villa, but even so it was fun because the sensation it gave was great.

At the beginning of the first half I felt proud and boasted that Manchester United would get a defeat and could mock my friend again but the second half spoke differently, Ten Hag and his squad returned the situation and got a 3-2 victory for Manchester United, when the match was over I was bullied by my colleague. LOL

For this season I think it will be very difficult for aston villa to lead because the competition is still tight, but I think for the position in the top 5 of the standings at the end of the season aston villa can maintain it.

Indeed, we have to look at Manchester United's next match against Nottingham Forest. Of course, Nottingham Forest is currently performing well because we can see that Nottingham Forest was able to win the match against New Castle with a score of 1-3 and C. Wood's performance was great because he scored 3 goals. So I think Nottingham Forest cannot be considered trivial even though they are currently ranked 16th and indeed if Manchester United always consistently wins in the upcoming matches then it can be said that Manchester United has risen and will compete with other strong teams. Yes, if Manchester United doesn't win the next match then I think Manchester United must improve its performance, but I think Manchester United's performance will be even better in the next match.

Yes, congratulations to Manchester United for their victory against Aston Villa. It is indeed worth saying and I think that after losing to West Ham, Manchester United has now improved itself and I also see that Erik Ten Hag is now very good at making strategies. Yes, I think that Erik Ten Hag can do it. make Manchester united perform well. I think there is a chance that Erik ten Hag will not be fired.

Honestly I blame Unai Emery for losing this game. I bet everybody tipped Aston Villa to win that game owing to the fact that they’ve been in great form and that Manchester United came into this fixture having failed to score in their last four games – the defeats to Bournemouth, Bayern Munich and West Ham, and the draw at Liverpool.

And the worst of it was that they haven’t been playing well in these games and even more damning was the fact, in those four games, they managed a grand total of eight shots on target, which is quite staggering for a club so synonymous with attacking football.
Anyways it’s good news for Manchester United as they’ve picked up 3 points against a strong Villa side. The most interesting thing is that Hojlund scored and it’ll be good if he builds on it.

[klidex]

I admit that this match was certainly beyond many people expectations because Man United managed to emerge as the winner. even though Aston Villa have been very aggressive this season with  some good performances, it seems like we are quite confident of being able to overcome Man United game. on the other hand things turned around and this  result certainly gave the  Man United players a little hope especially Hojlund whose goal was his first  goal in the Premier League after playing  for Man United for so long.

There are many matches that are still open so if you want to be in the top 4 you have  to maximize performances like this consistently. It's just that Erik Ten Hag cannot be satisfied just yet. This season many matches have  been wasted due to unstable playing  conditions.

No one thought that Manchester United would be able to win the match over Aston Villa even though in the first half Aston Villa appeared to be ahead with 2 goals and many thought that Aston Villa would be able to win this match by sealing their victory in the first half. But it turned out that Manchester United was able to attack came back in the second half by creating their first lead through Garnacho in the 59th minute and equalizing in the 71st minute by the same player, Aston Villa started to get confused and wanted to score their 3rd goal but Manchester United were able to maintain their defense strongly and finally Hojlund scored the 3rd goal for Manchester United was also the winner and the match ended. Manchester United managed to get full points.

Of course, with this phenomenal victory, Erik Ten Hag, don't be too complacent because sometimes Manchester United enjoys their pleasure too much so that in the next match they are unable to perform optimally and suffer defeat. I hope that with this victory, Manchester United will be on a better path than before.

What a come back for Manchester United, this is unbelievable because I was totally discourage immediately Aston villa scored their two goals and I know how good they are I decided to stop watching because it was annoying even though I knew that Aston villa are capable of winning the match. Erik Ten Hag mind will be at rest and will be planning on how to focus on the their next game against Nottingham forest, Nottingham forest played a surprise game this weekend by winning Newcastle united in St James' Par. Now Aston villa have lose the three points, this is a bad luck for them because if Tottenham Hotspur will win their match tomorrow with at least 3 goals to nothing definitely they will over throne Aston villa while Manchester City are still having their outstanding too, if played and win the will move to third place. So Unai Emery really have a lot to do because competing in top four is not and easy thing to do, so he have to come up with many and new strategy to tackle his defence line to avoid this type of error.

Newcastle is seriously a mess on me today. They really spoil things for me. They started well with a leading goal not until Nottingham get a draw very close to the end of first half. I never expected a victory from Nottingham. I think something is wrong inside the Newcastle team. Their losing trend is now something to seriously watch out for.

Newcastle united have given Nottingham forest hope of winning after winning villa since 5th November when the  lost almost 7 games and Newcastle united decide to give them hope, this is also surprising because I know Newcastle united has not been trying in away match this days but I don't expect Nottingham forest will be the one to tackle them, in their last five matches the only won one match truly the is a big disappointments for the club like Newcastle united, their performance are very poor which the have to improve.

[piebeyb]

Man United will play against Nottingham Forest in the next match and I think this will be a fierce battle for they both. If once again Man United can play well (as a solid team) and get a win, I think that could be a way for Man United to shine again.

I would not be surprised if Manchester United won against Aston Villa who are in 3rd place in the standings at the moment. After a series of bad results, of course Manchester United must be able to win the match against Aston Villa, who in the last few matches have not been defeated and Manchester United was behind in the first half. 2 goals but finally in the second half Manchester United were able to change the style and tempo of the game so they could turn things around 3-2 and at the same time show their fans that Manchester United could win.

I think this victory was due to prestige at home so that Manchester United was able to recover in the second half, but I'm still not sure if they play against clubs that are below them, usually they often lose and always underestimate their opponents which in the end often loses points, against Nottingham Forest it's also worth watching out for. because they beat Newcastle too today.

Manchester United managed to get full points.

I'm truly amazed by what Mu achieved in this match. I think many people put their money on Aston Villa, and they must have lost it  . After the first half, nobody thought Mu could equalize, let alone end the game with a victory. Mu presented a completely different attacking style, like a storm, but what they did differently from before was effectiveness. Garnacho had a stellar day with a brace, and especially Hojlund broke his Premier League goal drought. I believe Aston Villa might have been a bit complacent and somewhat surprised by Mu's strong comeback when they were leading by two goals. I sense a heavy burden on the shoulders of Mu players, the pressure from the fans and from their coach Ten Hag. When the pressure is alleviated, Mu can play brilliantly again.

[Agbamoni]

Manchester was lucky last night to be frank. They are still unbeaten on boxing day since 1978. Coming from behind to defeat Aston Villa is one of their biggest wins in this season. Hojlund finally had his first game in the premier league and Garnacho had a double. Quite a good record for Manchester United yesterday. Because it has been a long time, they had a good win and this time to came back from nothing and won the match with a well stunning performance in the second half.

[Polkeins]

That's just the problem with Manchester united their inconsistency is affecting the team, I know the strength of Manchester united the team players are strong let's forget what's happening this season, the Manchester united we know will score more than 3goals I don't know what going on.
I could not believed my eyes when man utd won this match, excellent performance from Garnacho and the rest of the players, if man utd keeps getting better every match day it will be good for Ten Hang, the fans, no one is even bragging about the game the fans are just happy cause they have never experience such joy for a long time and the fact remains Man utd won Villa with a powerful comeback so am happy for the team if only they can maintain same energy throughout this season.

Yes, at first I thought there was a display error when I saw the score 3-2 but it turns out that's the real score really impressive game from Manchester United today, Manchester United need to do things like this to continue to increase their confidence and slowly took its place in the standings. Now Manchester United in 6th place needs 5 more points to move up to the top 4 indeed, it is impossible to be there but of course there is still a chance.

Even though we all know that Man United is a big team and they have some great players, but with everything they have, Man United has not been able to show their best performance. So it was quite surprising to see them making a comeback and scoring 3 goals. This time I saw Man United playing as a good team, where there is less selfishness from each player, and they are more likely to play teamwork to win.

This match was a historic day for Rasmus Hojlund because it was the first time he scored a goal in the Premier League and the proud thing is that goal which was the decisive victory for Man United. It's not a guarantee that he will start scoring goals again, but at least it will be a motivation for him and increase his self-confidence.

Manchester have good players, which they proved yesterday and when they need to, they fight to the end, like in the Liverpool match, but apparently they hate Ten Hag so much that they don't really want to play in most of the games.

It's true Onana played very tentatively and it really seemed that with such a goalkeeper's performance Manchester will be hard to equalize the score, probably none of the Manchester players thought about winning in the first half, but Garnacho and Heylund were able to turn the game around and snatch the victory. 

This match is also historic for Garnacho, he is now the youngest ever author of a double in boxing day. Garnacho broke the record of Michael Owen himself.

Isn't this a normal condition when a surprise comes for a small team at the bottom of the standings and Burnley victory at that time was lucky because Fulham made a mistake and surprises won't come twice like today which was defeated by Liverpool and this is a natural incident because Burnley the team that is in bottom of the standings without having strong performance while Liverpoo has much stronger performance than Burnley.

I quite disagree with you on the fact that Burnley won Fulham by luck and that Fulham made mistakes. Mistakes are meant to be made in football but are you telling me that Fulham lost the game against Bournemouth yesterday because of their mistakes, or Bournemouth was lucky as well?
The thing is that the advantages was there and both Burnley and Bournemouth who beat Fulham respectively took it and they won.
Now back to what I was driving at, we all know how bad the performance of Vincent Kompany's boys have been since the beginning of this campaign and I'm saying that even if Liverpool are the bigger boys in that encounter yesterday, Burnley should at least gotten a shot if not more on target but no shot on target was registered and Alisson was just on vacation, that's enough reason to be pissed about the Burnley side.

In this season, if we understand it, it's a bit ridiculous that a team like Man City has dropped to 5th place, whereas above Man City there is a team that is actually not very strong and has unstable consistency. It's just that when Man City experienced a decline, the 3 teams above them no longer had strong opponents so they could appear a little more consistent and Liverpool achievements are likely to put strong pressure on Arsenal because so far they have tried but Liverpool has surprisingly also improved their performance.
competition becoming more competitive and it very interesting to continue to see developments in the EPL.

I believe Aston Villa are the weaker team you're referring to but don't forget is that same Aston Villa who beat Manchester City, so I think they deserve that spot and again City are occupying that 5th base on matches they didn't play because of the FIFA WORLD CLUB FOOTBALL they went for which they won. So if Man City played those 2 outstanding matches which I some how believe they'd win, I don't think they'd still remain in that 5th position.
They have more advantage more than those 3 teams above of them (don't want to talk about Tottenham because we know how's going to be for them), and if you ask me I'd tell you for free that either Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa are going to drop point for the Champions (Man City). Well, to me I'd like the heat to be the way it is let's see who can emerge as Champions.

I’m delighted with this win. Aston Villa coming 10 games undefeated to this game, leading by two in the first half. The comeback is real, finally Man United played with pride in the second half. I think this win tells it all it's not a lack in quality but passion and motivation lacking in the team. Manchester United poor form this season sparked a motivation and then the 3 points.
Only creativity and imagination hasn’t been present in Manchester United’s until they rediscovered their mojo

The three points lift Manchester United up to 6th in the Premier League table, while Aston Villa stay 3rd, missing the chance to move level on points with leaders Liverpool.
I am happy that Hojlund has finally scored, after waiting until his 15th Premier League appearance for this goal. Let's hope this will be a turning point for something, especially Hojlund opening his account in EPL.

[Pulsar77]

Normally Aston Villa are a much better team this season. However I have no clue about how they let Manchester United make a comeback from a 0-2 score disadvantage.    I know that the match was played at Old Trafford. But actually this doesn't change things much for the home side. Because they have had a bad form at home and away both. After seeing that 2-0 score at the end of the first half I was like that must be it for them. You know how strong Aston Villa are too.

But there was a much better Manchester United in the second half as for finishing. Hojlund also finally scored his first goal in the PL in his 15th match.

I must confess that Manchester united did well by using their home to dominated in this match, because many people have concluded that Manchester united will still lose the match again when Aston villa was leading the match with 0-2 in the concluded 45 minutes, because they did everything possible to used all their strength to hold Manchester united in the first half. It was a shocked in the remaining 45 minutes for Manchester united to equalized the two goals Aston villa scored in the first half and still added another one goal to defeated Aston villa 3-2 to embraced the three points from the match. I believe this victory will give Manchester united boldness to withstand their opponent in their next match but Manchester united don't have the strength to win this premier league title.

Being able to turn things around even though they were 2 goals behind in the first half is certainly something quite extraordinary and this is a moment for the Manchester United team to be able to increase the confidence of their players to look at the next match hoping for positive results or being able to continue their trend.

The victory achieved by Manchester United was actually a bit surprising and we have to admit that Aston Villa's performance was not that impressive and Aston Villa was also a very inconsistent team this season so the Manchester United team could take advantage of this.

Honesty, it was just unfortunate to see Aston villa thrown away a game they should have won. It doesn't matter whether they're third in the league or scrapping for relegation but you don’t let a two goals lead slip like that. I know Aston villa have been fantastic for most part of the season but faffing around at the back and the constant switching of the back four is not a great idea. How the defence like playing the ball among themselves with Emi is sickening and dangerous.

I don't know what happened in the dressing room during the break but it wasn't the same spirit in the players during the first half that played in the second half. Everyone was so relaxed and felt it was all over not realizing they were playing against Manchester united, the acclaimed king of comeback. The united's boxing day unbeaten streak continues and 100% Unai has to wear this one because he Subs too late even when the signs are obvious.

Anyway, congratulations to the boy on his first EPL goal and hope he continues henceforth. He is a potential player with no doubt.

Manchester United's performance this season has made Manchester United lose their matches even to an average team at Old Trafford. Aston Villa has shown consistency this season, and they have beaten teams like Arsenal, and Manchester City. Manchester United will be an easy ride for Aston Villa, I'm betting Aston Villa to win against Manchester United tonight.

So far you are right in predicting that Aston Villa will win. 30 minutes have passed and they lead 2-0, which puts them on second place in the Premier League behind Liverpool. If they scored 6 more goals, they would be in first place . Liverpool also won today, we should have bet that: Villa win + Liverpool win + Arsenal win in two days. If 2-3 more goals are scored today, there could be a chance for a red card for Manchester, the frustration is rising.

Aston Villa failed to maintain their 2-goal lead against Manchester United at Old Trafford yesterday. Manchester United had a huge comeback yesterday against Aston Villa to deny my bet not playing the way I predicted it. Finally, Hojlund scored his first premier league goal against Aston Villa yesterday.
