Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Minor Miner]

Arsenal scoring the first goal gave me much hope that they are definitely winning this game with out much stress because they did possessed the first half of the game with so much strength an they were literally domineering in the early minutes of the first half of the game enough for me to be convinced they will win this game.

After the equalizer before the end of the first half, Arsenal started loosing their rhythm on the pitch so much so that they were no long able to dominate as they have done earlier, in the second half of the game it looked like Arsenal lost it as their opponent were all over the place not giving them a chance to score a goal and they were unable to penetrate the defense line enough to be able to secure a goal, this is one of the games I'm seeing Arsenal looking like the lost for especially in the second half, I was unable to understand their pattern and tactics.

As usual, I thought Arsenal was going to win the match against Fulham. I mean they were on a 3 match losing streak and were not doing very well after Mitrovic left them at the start of the season. But his replacement Raul Jimenez did very well in this match scoring the equalizer. Yes agreed, Arsenal lost their dominance in the match after being equalized.

After this defeat Arsenal are behind Liverpool in terms of points right now. Arsenal started to bottle the championship, I thought they were going to win the Premier League after a decade. They are currently behind Man City and Man City played 1 match less. I thought there was no way Guardiola could climb up the ranks but Arsenal is proving me wrong.

Back to back defeats for Arsenal (against West Ham and now Fulham), and that leaves them in 4th position as the year comes to an end, Arsenal are in a pretty sticky patch right now and they are winless in their last three EPL games, i know some people people might cry that it is a crisis, but i don't think it is, Arsenal are just 2 points off the summit, so for now nothing has changed as regards their title charge. The problem Arsenal has is that City are unstoppable when we get to the title run-in, City can go on long winning runs, and this is why i think both Liverpool and Arsenal won't win the title, but City will.

Arsenal team and fans should cry and feel sorry for themselves for losing 2 matches in the last weeks of the year. Losing to Fulham is another big blow that happened to them in a short time as they verge on this season's trophy.
Before you put it that Arsenal is 2 points off the premier league latter, let's not forget that  Liverpool haven't played their 20th match and they are 2 points above Arsenal. Imagine if they win their 20th match against Newcastle, what the points gap will be? Your guess will be the same as mine. On the same note, Manchester City still has their 20th match to play also. If they win theirs, the top Arsenal with 3 points. I hope I won't sound weird if I say that Arsenal should miss another year of not lifting the Premier League trophy as expected of them.

Before their last two league matches, I was of the opinion that Arsenal will be a better contender for the English Premier League title than they were last season. Last season, they were close to winning the title that's eluded them since 2004 but were beaten to title by Manchester in the last few matchweeks of the season. After they started the season on a very good note, I thought they were gonna eventually win it but with their poor performance in the last two league games, that mindset have changed as now don't think they'll finish the season in the top two.

Mikel Arteta have been doing exceptionally well with Arsenal but the earlier he starts to win important trophies for the club the better for him

[Belarge]

I should have bet on an Arsenal win, because Fulham are dead lately, as these guys score two goals and lead, though there's still a bit of time left in the match... But I don't think Arsenal will be able to score two more goals... But Spurs are in the lead for now...

We were open to receiving enormous profits due to our strategies that's been lay out but it turns out not all my plans enter, rather compromising our targets and only available targets can be implemented. Ended results, Arsenal loses easy three points while Tottenham Hotspur earned points against Bournemouth. I've learnt my mistakes, never putting 100% in these games. I'll never place my trust on these EPL elite clubs because they're inconsistent in their performance, they don't have what it takes to win matches consecutively, fluctuating often and reduce their winning rate.

[AakZaki]

Nothingham Forest took their only 2 shots on goal utilized it well while credit goes to Turner Nottingham Forest goalkeeper who made two brilliant saves from Eriksen and Fernandes which could have changed the scoreline had they scored their goals respectively, however Nothingham Forest deserved the win, I also commended Elanga former Man Utd attacker who was played brilliantly well provided an assist and was awarded Player of the match, Erik ten Hag job is now at stake  because of team poor performance the club had been defeated four times this month in addition to all the other defeats and there is no any sign of improvement by the team.

In fact, I was quite angry with this situation. I already feel that the victory from West Ham cannot be the basis for Man United's performance in the next match. I'm not underestimating Nothingham but in terms of the quality of players and games they should be able to get at least 1 point.
But with this result I see that Nothingham did defend quite well. Man United's attack was also patterned, but they failed to take advantage of the opportunity. Hojlund's absence seems to make it a bit difficult for them. This result is likely to worsen Ten Hag's condition, maybe more supporters will ask him to leave.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Arsenal excited their fans for the championship this season as well, but now it seems that this will not be possible as they have only received one point in the last three matches. It was very bad to lose three points before the start of the new year.

Fulham is a very different team, they can somehow beat the teams trying for the championship. In the Arsenal-Fulham match, however, he made a very fast start with Saka's goal. But then Fulham made a comeback and gave Arsenal this gift before the new year.

A bad way to wrap up the year for Arsenal as they were unable to secure three points but instead they lost three points again after the last one that they lost against West Ham. I have begin to think that maybe what happened last season will still be the same fate for Arsenal, as they only know how to top the table for some time, but they cannot fight till the end. It is obvious that Liverpool and Manchester city will win their outstanding matches and Arsenal will go below them on the table.

[Velvet78]

Arsenal were a disaster again... I don't know what is happening to this team recently. First they got their first home loss against West Ham and this time there is a loss against Fulham. Every team can have bad time periods but they are a fighter for the league title at the same time. They don't have much luxury of losing points otherwise it would be punished.

I hope we don't see the same Arsenal from the previous season which start slowly dropping down from the league title competition. Arteta has built a quite young team maybe but they really have the capability to fight hard for the title until the end.

Arsenal team and fans should cry and feel sorry for themselves for losing 2 matches in the last weeks of the year

hahaha, i think it is time for Arsenal fans to realize that their squad is not good enough for a title challenge; and trheir manager is not astute enough to guide them to the premier league success. The bigger question now is, whats wrong with Arsenal? They always start the season well and falter along the road. Mentality probloem? or low qualities?

The game between Arsenal and Fulham was definitely a nightmare for Arteta and his players because they had bad results and bad performances in this match and other than the result they got, two players of Arsenal were fighting in the game with each other. Declan Rice and Gabriel were both angry and yelling in the game.
Maybe this can show us the situation in Arsenal is not good even between the players of this team.

Arsenal lacks a winning mentality. They have a lot of good players but fail every time they try to win. Last year they also lost the title because of that, handing it over to City at the last minute. Now City have had a few bad weeks that they haven't been able to use to their advantage.

[Slow death]

Tottenham Hotspur v Bournemouth
Lineups

Tottenham Hotspur — Vicario; Porro, Emerson Royal, Davies, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur; Johnson, Lo Celso, Son(C); Richarlison.

Bournemouth — Neto(C); Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Ouattara; Cook, Christie; Sinisterra, Kluivert, Tavernier; Solanke.

Fulham v Arsenal
Lineups
Fulham — Leno; Castagne, Adarabioyo, Bassey, Robinson; João Palhinha, Cairney(C); De Cordova-Reid, Iwobi, Willian; Jiménez.

Arsenal — Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, Kiwior; Ødegaard(C), Rice, Havertz; Saka, Nketiah, Gabriel Martinelli.

This is a very strong squad that Tottenham have lined up for this game. They should win the game comfortably with this squad if they can avoid red card in this game. I hope Richarlison will continue his scoring form in this game.

 

this time tottenham didn't have a red card and they played very well as has been customary when they play with all their good players, something incredible I'm seeing is Son Heung-min's performance, since kane left he has been a great player very important for tottenham, when kane left tottenham I thought it was the end of tottenham that season because the team just depended a lot on kane, but tottenham is showing that it is not just one player that makes a team great, but entire team. with this victory for tottenham they are very close to reaching the arsenal they lost and were in position 4 with 40 points while tottenham is in position 5 with 39 points


today tottenham beat bournemouth who came into this game on a streak of 4 consecutive victories, while tottenham came from a defeat, but that was no reason for tottenham to give in to the pressure, they played very well and won very comfortably, I see that Tottenham still has a good chance of getting a place in the European Champions League. I thought it was funny how this Tottenham player couldn't score a goal:



 

fulham 2 - 1 arsenal

There is no doubt that this result must be a surprise to many people, with this defeat the Arsenal are left with 3 consecutive games without being able to win, this is definitely not good, with this result they are compromising their fight for the title and to be honest I highly doubt it. That this season Arsenal can win the Premier League, they have been a very fragile team, in my opinion only Manchester City and Liverpool have a good chance of winning the Premier League this season. Arsenal will, at most, reach third or fourth place, and it is unbelievable that a team like Arsenal, which has a very good squad, is not managing to win games consistently.

Nottingham Forest earn first home win over Manchester United since 1995

Erik ten Hag saw his hopes that Manchester United's comeback victory over Aston Villa on Boxing Day would be a turning point dashed at the City Ground.

Nottingham Forest sent United crashing back down to earth by inflicting a 2-1 defeat on Saturday evening, which was the club's first home win over the Red Devils since 1995.

Manchester United is in decline, and nothing will change as long as they continue with the same owners, selling a small part of the club won't solve anything, it would have had to completely change ownership

Exactly what they did with us last season when we all thought that Arsenal was going to win the trophy and they were mems going about and am just thinking what will arteta do in a condition like this, imagine even Arsenal could not win fulham it is just vet annoying,  imagine just getting 1 point out of three matches does such club look serious arteta needs to start doing something fast because we can not continue like this. When I saw the first goal coming from saka I was already feeling happy that this game is ours to when after Fulham equalized they still added another additional goal to Arsenal very annoying.

Arsenal were a disaster again... I don't know what is happening to this team recently. First they got their first home loss against West Ham and this time there is a loss against Fulham. Every team can have bad time periods but they are a fighter for the league title at the same time. They don't have much luxury of losing points otherwise it would be punished.

There lack of consistency is affecting us as a club and losing to West ham and now Fulham what a day for us even in the process of watching the game i go angry and left the center because mockery coming from other fans was becoming unbearable so the best thing was to leave the place. To go home and sleep. And they should better step we can afford to continue losing games like this. At this point our reputation is at stake, winning the trophy the same Manchester City winning 3 trophies at the same time so why or what  is wrong with Arsenal but their is hope.

Its a shame and embarrassment to see how poorly they've performed this season against their own London rivals who they won back to back fixtures last season.
Mikel Arteta had also condemned the way they played, I think they need depth which they don't have. Most importantly a new striker since Gabriel Jesus, Nketiah and Kai Havertz who's supposed to be the false nine for them be underperforming. They're still potential winners of the Premier League Competition alongside Manchester City and Liverpool. They have tue capacity to do of they concentrate.

They flopped big time last season. If I'm correct, they dominated the league for ten months and failed to achieve something worthwhile. They shouldn't slack and make more significant signatures.

[Oneandpure]

A bad way to wrap up the year for Arsenal as they were unable to secure three points but instead they lost three points again after the last one that they lost against West Ham. I have begin to think that maybe what happened last season will still be the same fate for Arsenal, as they only know how to top the table for some time, but they cannot fight till the end. It is obvious that Liverpool and Manchester city will win their outstanding matches and Arsenal will go below them on the table.

Bad result for Arsenal two losses last two matches in a row at Premier League after last match defeating by West Ham United and today defeat by Fulham, actually Fulham and West Ham United is not top Premier League teams but how possibility with Arsenal losses three points in a row and make their position drop from first until to fourth standings position.
Liverpool and Manchester City have in the winning trend and make many points left from Arsenal, are over with Arsenal in Premier League tittle race for this season or they can return back for winning upcoming match and secure top standings position behind Liverpool and Manchester City.

It looks like Arsenal will suffer the same fate as Tottenham, who recorded impressive performances at the start of the campaign then saw their performance decline slowly. In terms of squad depth, Arteta has built his squad very well, even better than last season. However, this cannot be the answer to being consistent, at crucial moments Arteta lost his luck and lost points, their drama was very bitter.

The defeat against Fulham is proof that they very easily lose focus, in the future the increasingly busy match schedule will make them even more stressed. Tottenham has a big chance of overtaking Arsenal, because they are only 1 point behind at the moment. Being dropped from the top four in the standings was very painful, Arteta had to buy another new player like him, an experienced striker.

Next Arsenal will face Crystal Palace, if they lose points again then it would be the same as letting Tottenham overtake them, because Tottenham will face Man United, I'm not saying it's easy, we know Ten Hag squad is an elite club, but recently they have changed not elite anymore .

While all football fans rejoice in welcoming the arrival of the new year, Arsenal is saddened by consecutive defeats in the EPL. This result makes Arsenal even further behind Liverpool who are at the top of the standings. If Liverpool manages to win in week 20, the points deficit will increase even more. Arsenal is still stuck in fourth place with 40 points, only one point different from Tottenham, which is one rank below.

Losing points in the last three matches made Arsenal close 2023 very disappointingly, Manchester City, which had lost control in several matches, has started to find its path again. Now it is increasingly difficult for Arsenal to regain first position due to their inability to perform consistently which results in losing a lot of points.

I think we still have a lot of changes in the table to look forward to in the next half of the season, so Arsenal should definitely not be saddened, they have a lot of hard work ahead of them, but I agree with you, for in fact one defeat has moved them down a few places. Every team has slip ups so blaming them for anything doesn't make sense

The same way Arsenal made their fans to feel excited about how good they've been performing was also the same way they did last season but the bad news about it is that they still wouldn't finish as the champion of England at the end of this season. The club manager Mikel Arteta has done exceptionally well in the club and despite not having long managerial experience, he's been able to significantly improve the performance of Arsenal.

Against Fulham today, Arsenal played the game like a team that with lesser quality of players and couldn't even savage a point from that match. They must significantly improve with their current performance if they want to remain in contention for the league title

[Mr.right85]

Bad result for Arsenal two losses last two matches in a row at Premier League after last match defeating by West Ham United and today defeat by Fulham, actually Fulham and West Ham United is not top Premier League teams but how possibility with Arsenal losses three points in a row and make their position drop from first until to fourth standings position.

I think with this lose for Arsenal, it makes more sense why they don’t really fit to be league champions. Like, how could they handle it having to lose yet another game when, they ought to be playing safe and getting all 3 points from these easy fixtures. I get it that Fulham has been on fire lately, getting lots of goals in there games even though they couldn’t manage to win there game with Bournemouth, they’ve always did good to win there fixtures but, it ought to be an Arsenal win today.

Manchester City are 37 points haven’t played just 18games, a game behind Arsenal and should they play there outstanding match, that would mean Arsenal on third place and it would be very difficult for them to rise above Manchester City yet again. KDB would be back from injury in the coming year and the team would be solidified. Arsenal are just messing up the chances to build better point gaps.

[AYOBA]

It's really a damaging defeat for their title aspirations, I never saw this particular lose coming unlike the westham game which I believe it can be won by either side.
They will surely be biting their teeth in regret now to lose to a Fulham side that have been out of form for quite a while now.
Just as you have already said, they just need like 10 match winning streak to put them back on track, which it's near impossible with this arsenal team that is too inconsistent.

These days, I don't comprehend how Arsenal is playing. Imagine the first goal in five minutes for Arsenal. When they arrive, we was aspecting that Arsenal will prevail in the game. We are unaware of Fulham's alternative strategy for Arsenal.
I had high expectations for Arsenal because they were leading the game by one goal in the first half. Arsenal is expected to continue being consistent when they return from halftime, but they decline to take the three points that they should have from Fulham. Arsenal now occupies fourth place in the standings, and they take their current downturn. If they don't exercise caution, they will keep plunging. This season, I don't think Arsenal can able to win league.
