Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[marcous]

~~ Snip ~~

Just excited to watch big match today, absolutely going to stay home and enjoyed an entertaining game today. Both clubs are not in the UEFA Champions League competition, giving them more time to focused on winning top matches in EPL because it's solely their domestic league and winning is very important. Both clubs are very careful not to jeopardize their chances of winning, a strict measures will be implemented. Liverpool vs Newcastle United tonight, this is the first EPL fixture for the new year and everyone looking forward to watch the first EPL club that would accumulates three points in 2024.

It seems to me that Liverpool will win, because Newcastle this season again became a club from the middle of the standings... By the way, last season only Liverpool managed to beat Newcastle several times... I think this game will be bad for Newcastle again...

On paper, Liverpool really deserves to be the favorite, because they are in their best performance, in the sense of not underestimating Newcastle. I think this is the most valuable week for the Reds to create a point gap with their closest competitor Aston Villa, Klopp certainly understands the importance of 3 points when he hosts Eddie Howe squad in a few moments.

On the other hand, Newcastle also wants to mark the start of the year with a win, I think they have the attributes to trouble the Reds defense, besides they are not finished with the injury storm. However, I predict that Liverpool can continue their positive trend while confirming their position at the top of the standings.

It would be a shame for Liverpool if this match ended in a draw, Klopp would have to field his best squad to reduce the surprises that could be presented by Newcastle. If Newcastle emerge as winners, they will automatically move up two places to 7th position, overtaking Brighton and Man United.

Arsenal has failed to win two of their last Premier League matches which has made them drop to the fourth position in the Premier League table this season. Liverpool is topping Aston Villa with a point difference but Liverpool has an outstanding game. If Liverpool wins the outstanding game they will top with 3 points difference over Aston Villa. Liverpool might find it difficult to win matches because they will be without Salah who will be going for the African Cup Nation.

Newcastle United is a pretty tough opponent for Liverpool, but that doesn't mean Liverpool isn't tough enough when competing at home in today's match. Because even without Salah, Liverpool still has to be considered as a strong team this season because so far Liverpool's strength is still visible, so it is not worth underestimating Liverpool just because one of their mainstay players is going to the Africa Cup of Nations. Today's match for Liverpool will probably be much more interesting because Liverpool really need to distance themselves from Aston Villa who are currently starting to continue to show their fangs and skills in every match.

But on the other hand I don't think that way, I would say Newcastle is quite an opponent for Liverpool if Newxastle is in pretty good form like last season, but now it's clearly different, they have problems with their depth so they have a mid-season slump which certainly makes them fall further in the table as a result of their declining performance. We can see in the last two matches they did not win at all even though they were faced with teams far below them, namely Luton Town and N.Forest, while on the other hand Liverpool are now at the top of the standings of their good performance in passing through several matches they have passed.

In addition, this match will be held at Liverpool's home and obviously it will increase the possibility of a greater chance of winning three points and maybe our doubts arise only because of the absence of Liverpool's main players in this match, but I think Klopp has thought about this and is looking for a formula to overcome it, because obviously as you said that they must be able to stay away from Aston Villa's pursuit so however this is an important match for them, I am quite optimistic.

Statistically and historically, Liverpool is clearly the favorite. You can see the head to head history between Liverpool vs Newcastle in the last 5 matches. And yes the results are amazing. Namely, Liverpool managed to win their last 5 matches against Newcastle. Even though we know that last season Liverpool slumped. But it turns out that last season Liverpool were able to win against Newcastle. And Liverpool's current condition is much better than last season so Liverpool's chances of winning are truly credible.

It would be foolish to pick a favorite team considering the stats against Newcastle. Because we have seen the rise of Newcastle since last season. Earlier this group was very weak. And qualifying for the Premier League was challenging for them. And so Newcastle will naturally lag behind statistically.

While Newcastle's players were very confident last season, their performance this season has been quite poor. Newcastle have won 9 of their 19 matches this season and lost 8. We have seen poor performances from Newcastle players in the last few matches as well. Coach eddie howe should improve the mentality of the players. Re-instill confidence in the players. If Newcastle players are confident I think they can beat any team.

Given Newcastle's current form, its clear that injuries have been a major factor in their decline. Keeping up the pace from last year has been hard for them this season, and the injury list makes things even harder. Recent results show that they havent won in a while - only one of their last seven games, and that was helped by the other team getting a red card. Concerning trends are happening, and the team's trust is at an all-time low. With Liverpool's recent form, its scary to play them. Although Im not sure about their chances, football is a very risky sport. Heck, they might even find a way to surprise us.

[Xxmodded]

The first match of the year in the Premier League will be played by leader Liverpool and Newcastle United, who had good results at first but have had troubled times lately. Newcastle United have lost 4 of their last 5 league matches. Of these matches, the one against Tottenham was acceptable, but the other 3 defeats were against weak opponents. It won't be good for them if they can't break this bad form today. I wonder what Eddie Howe thinks about this, why he can't stop the bad trend. I have a feeling they will get a point against Liverpool today. However, when we look at the odds of the betting companies, we can understand that this will be difficult. I hope it will be a good match and Liverpool won't win.

You wrong, its not difficult for Liverpool defeating Newcastle United on losses performance exactly losses 4 of their last 5 matches, Liverpool want to keep stay more longer time as first standings position and get three points from Aston Villa have good performance currently. But if Liverpool losses points tonight will make premier league standings more interested again with points few points difference between Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester City.
Newcastle have drop to 9th standings position and  become bad start in domestic league, after eliminating in champion league and drop points left from champion league spot standings must be target for Newcastle not losses points yet.

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.

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.

Arteta has been thinking the same about the transfer topic as well. He is planning to make transfers which are really needed for some specific areas. Who knows maybe we might see a new centre-forward to heat up the competition between the alternatives as well. I don't find Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah good enough for a title competition honestly.

Gabriel Jesus was much better in the past but that long-running injury affected his performance really negatively.    There are some names rumoured for the position but let's see. Arteta would know what he is doing for the betterment of the team.

It's devastating for Arsenal, not what I expected. This Arteta experiment must come to an end; I've been watching it with skepticism for a long time. Arsenal missed their golden chance last season. This season, smaller clubs are coming at them like they're title challengers too. There are too many poor performances and players not living up to the Arsenal standard. Arteta has spent over three years at Arsenal, and his biggest achievement so far is getting them into the UCL. Sorry, but Mikel Arteta has nothing more to offer to Arsenal FC.

[makishart]

Arsenal performance is dropping lately, and they haven’t been able to win any match in there last 3 matches played, they  had draw which was against Liverpool and they lose to west ham and Fulham, decrease in there performance is just kind of surprising, actually people have predicted it that what happened to Arsenal last season will repeat itself this season, but i think it’s too early to say that, actually there is already a sign, because I never expected Arsenal to lose to Fulham, let’s see how Arsenal will perform in there next match, if they can’t secure a win in there next match, then I think Arsenal might be out of the premier league fight.

Arsenal lost to Fulham, a shock to everyone right? I don't belief they would lose to any competitive mediocre club this season, not when they're in for good shape to win significant matches, it's rather dissappointing for Arsenal to fall out of race to achieve their main targets, really poor expectations from the club. The overhyped Arsenal is now struggling to win matches, not just any game but against mediocre clubs, it's absurd. Mikel Arteta might be queried by the board because the situation is blowing out of hand and there's something really messy about the club.

Fulham was not a mediocre club. It has good quality of squad. That's pretty much the same like chelsea which was struggling to go up. As long as fulham keep to play with the same strategy against other team and im sure fulham can get another three points in the next game.
People were overhyped arsenal coz it was finished at the second place last seaon but this time is kinda different as there have been some clubs were coming up. The club like aston villa and totenham made the competitions become even stricter than before.

Well, it's hard to accept if arsenal should be losing against fulham but arsenal deserves it caused by all of its attackers were so wasteful in upfront. They were not able adding another goal, and this is so crazy.
Arsenal's inability to maintain consistency has once again resulted in a disaster for Arteta, who might soon witness his club being left without any trophies. There will lots of haters gonna be mocking this club again if arsenal will end the season without even a singtle trophy

If Newcastle players are confident I think they can beat any team.

Newcastle isn't doomed. We know they're struggling, but football is full of ups and downs. They played well last season but are struggling currently. That's game play. Their current 9th-place placement is a drop from last season, but it's not irrevocable. This requires multiple approaches. No question, Eddie Howe must improve mentally. He must handle tactical and physical aspects. With their injury difficulties, individuals may need to rethink their training or recovery. Not an easy fix, but not impossible.

[naira]

Newcastle United is a pretty tough opponent for Liverpool, but that doesn't mean Liverpool isn't tough enough when competing at home in today's match. Because even without Salah, Liverpool still has to be considered as a strong team this season because so far Liverpool's strength is still visible, so it is not worth underestimating Liverpool just because one of their mainstay players is going to the Africa Cup of Nations. Today's match for Liverpool will probably be much more interesting because Liverpool really need to distance themselves from Aston Villa who are currently starting to continue to show their fangs and skills in every match.

I want to ensure that Liverpool extends its stay at the top of the standings from today's match against Newcastle. The visiting team, which recently seems to have lost its style of play, should give Liverpool an advantage. Headtohead both show that Newcastle have never tasted victory since 2021. Apart from that, the challenge of Edie Howe troops continues against Manchester City. It is not easy for Newcastle to win, their position in the standings is also in danger of continuing to fall. The fate of repeating last season's performance seems unlikely to happen again, and Newcastle will certainly miss out on a UCL ticket next season.

[Jossque]

Totthenham defeated Bournemouth 3-1 in their last match of the year, a result I didn't expect from them because Bournemouth have really improved in recent weeks and are becoming a team that is not easily beaten. In the 9th minute Sarr's goal gave Totthenham the lead in the first half and by the 80th minute they were 3-0 up.The last goal of the match was scored by Alex Scott 4 minutes later.Bournemouth got into more scoring positions which was surprising for Totthenham because I didn't expect them to play so much offensive football away from home.I was expecting a draw at worst but it wasn't what I expected.

A new defender? I'd rather see them invest that on a different position. Jurim Timber would be back soon this year and he should be brought back Into the squad. A player like Saliba has lost form and should be dropped for some games to regain himself.
A move for Ivan Toney will be better. Jesus and Nketiah haven't done so well for Arsenal in the past few games. It's shameful because it's a back to back lose for the gunners.

Ivan Toney for that role. Neto for that role with Saka and someone else productive for Gabriel Martinelli.
Most of these Arsenal players are exhausted and they shouldn't overstressed to avoid been Injured for a very long term.

[Docnaster]

Arsenal has failed to win two of their last Premier League matches which has made them drop to the fourth position in the Premier League table this season. Liverpool is topping Aston Villa with a point difference but Liverpool has an outstanding game. If Liverpool wins the outstanding game they will top with 3 points difference over Aston Villa. Liverpool might find it difficult to win matches because they will be without Salah who will be going for the African Cup Nation.

Newcastle United is a pretty tough opponent for Liverpool, but that doesn't mean Liverpool isn't tough enough when competing at home in today's match. Because even without Salah, Liverpool still has to be considered as a strong team this season because so far Liverpool's strength is still visible, so it is not worth underestimating Liverpool just because one of their mainstay players is going to the Africa Cup of Nations. Today's match for Liverpool will probably be much more interesting because Liverpool really need to distance themselves from Aston Villa who are currently starting to continue to show their fangs and skills in every match.

Losing two consecutive league games at this time of the season I think will cost Arsenal hugely and significantly reduce their chances of winning the English Premier League title at the end of the season. They're currently in the fourth position of the league table but have the same number of points with third placed Manchester City who has a game at hand. Liverpool who play Newcastle United later tonight are currently two points ahead of Arsenal but if they manage to beat Newcastle tonight, they'll go five points ahead of Arsenal leaving the north London club a mountain to climb before they can return to the submit of the league.

Newcastle is one English Premier League club that's capable of beating anyone in the league on their day but playing against Liverpool at Anfield will be very difficult for them to get a result. The English Premier League campaign gets more interesting as the match weeks goes by

[topbitcoin]

It is true that this will be a very important match for Liverpool this season. Because if they manage to get 3 points in this match then this will widen the point difference between Liverpool and the other teams who are right behind them. Currently Aston Villa even has the same number of points as Liverpool. And yes, they have the potential to take 1st place in a few weeks if Liverpool are not able to maintain their distance properly. And to maintain the goal difference, beating Newcastle is something that Liverpool must succeed in doing.

Statistically and historically, Liverpool is clearly the favorite. You can see the head to head history between Liverpool vs Newcastle in the last 5 matches. And yes the results are amazing. Namely, Liverpool managed to win their last 5 matches against Newcastle. Even though we know that last season Liverpool slumped. But it turns out that last season Liverpool were able to win against Newcastle. And Liverpool's current condition is much better than last season so Liverpool's chances of winning are truly credible.

Liverpool have a tough opponent in today match because Newcastle United cannot be considered weak even though they were not in good condition in the previous few matches, but Newcastle United often perform well when they face teams that are stronger than them. However, Liverpool certainly does not want to lose points in this match where Salah et al will try to win this match in order to maintain their ranking as leaders of the standings.

Apart from that, I see that Salah and Nunez have been in their best form lately, of course this is quite a wise encouragement if you want to bet on Liverpool winning. Yes, Liverpool certainly wants to widen the gap with the Aston Villa team which is in second place, so Liverpool really has to make the best use of this match against Newcastle United to get 3 points.

But indeed with the problems that have occurred for Newcastle this season, especially in the last few matches they have done, this could actually be profitable for Liverpool, especially in this match Liverpool played at Anfield, which of course this will be profitable for them.

Newcastle's performance has not gone too well in recent weeks. Newcastle only managed 1 win and 4 defeats in the last 5 matches of course this can disturb them I think.



The current odds are very different where Liverpool are clearly very far favorites, it's just that this is the EPL and sometimes we also can't be completely sure about things like this because there could be some surprises that happen just like the previous few matches. But this is also a momentum for Liverpool because if they manage to win then this will be very beneficial for them because they managed to stay away from the chase for a while in the race for the title.

Newcastle United is a pretty tough opponent for Liverpool, but that doesn't mean Liverpool isn't tough enough when competing at home in today's match. Because even without Salah, Liverpool still has to be considered as a strong team this season because so far Liverpool's strength is still visible, so it is not worth underestimating Liverpool just because one of their mainstay players is going to the Africa Cup of Nations. Today's match for Liverpool will probably be much more interesting because Liverpool really need to distance themselves from Aston Villa who are currently starting to continue to show their fangs and skills in every match.

If I refer to several local newspapers, Liverpool coach, Jurgen Kloop, confirmed that Mo Salah and Wataru Endo will leave the team after the match against Newcastle. Salah goes to the African Cup, while Endo goes to the Asian Cup. well, we'll see whether these two players will miss the match against Newcastle. apart from all that, Liverpool needs to win in this match to widen the points gap from the teams below their ranking. in this match, three points is the result that must be achieved by the Red. moreover, this match was held at Anfield, Liverpool's headquarters. well, Liverpool shouldn't have any problems in this match when they host Newcastle. the reason is, Newcastle's condition and performance are not in a good condition. in the last five matches played by Liverpool, Eddie Howe's squad was only able to win 1 match. in the two matches before this match, Newcastle lost to Luton and Forest. obviously, this situation was not pleasant at all for Eddie Howe and his squad. moreover, Newcastle will visit Anfield, Liverpool's home ground.

Now we refer to betting options, Liverpool with odds @1.46 and while Newcastle @6.20, there is a quite obvious gap between these two teams. my guess is that this match will offer quite an exciting and tough fight. even so, we also have to see what Eddie Howe and his squad will do. what is certain is that both teams want full points. Liverpool wants to widen the points gap from the teams below them, while Newcastle will try to get back on the right track and at the same time improve their ranking in the standings. my estimation, the result of this match is only a slight goal difference. there are several factors, it is very likely that Liverpool will win this match with a score of 2-1, it could also be the other way around. or, this match ends in a draw.  ideal option for me handicap -1.5 @1.73 Newcastle. well, let's wait for the final result of this match.

[Jossque]

Arsenal lost 2-1 away to Fulham after taking the lead in the 5th minute.Arsenal are in a poor run of form and if they don't bounce back quickly they will fall behind in the title race.Arsenal were not at their best in the second half, taking the lead through Saka's goal but ending the first half 1-1. In the 59th minute Cordova-Reid's goal was an important win for Fulham who managed to win the match, but Arsenal suffered their 4th defeat in the league with this defeat and probably dropped 5 points away from the leader.Today we will watch the Liverpool-Newcastle United match.I don't expect Newcastle, who have had bad results in recent weeks, to take points away from Liverpool.I will be expecting Liverpool to win this match and open the gap.

Newcastle United is no longer as tough as last season against big teams, especially this season. I don't think Newcastle will threaten Liverpool much at the moment, unless Liverpool feel Newcastle is their biggest threat in maintaining their position at the top of the standings. Liverpool must be able to maintain its good performance if they don't want to lose their position at the top of the standings, otherwise Manchester City will be very ready to take over the standings and lead it.

Liverpool is ahead in probability because they are playing at home, and moreover, Newcastle's performance is currently declining. Liverpool must not underestimate Newcastle in the slightest today, otherwise Liverpool must be prepared to lose points. Of course, this is the most interesting match at the beginning of 2024.

Seriously, I don't really think the match will be an easy one for the two clubs. The performances of the two clubs are not really bad this season, so I think the match will just be kind of difficult to predict for me. The two clubs really need the match, but we all know that Liverpool is currently in first position, and they will want to win the match to increase their point. If they don't win the match, if Manchester City plays and wins their outstanding match, then they might end up taking the first position from Liverpool, so Liverpool will want to do everything possible to win, but Newcastle is also a dangerous club, so the match won't really be an easy one and it will be an interesting one.

I don't think Newcastle will threaten Liverpool much at the moment, unless Liverpool feel Newcastle is their biggest threat in maintaining their position at the top of the standings. Liverpool must be able to maintain its good performance if they don't want to lose their position at the top of the standings, otherwise Manchester City will be very ready to take over the standings and lead it.

Newcastle United don't have excellent and stable form like the past season but it is wrong to consider they are too much weaker than the past season. If Liverpool underestimate Newcastle United, they will have to pay very expensive cost. Newcastle United have enough good players to punish any defensive mistakes from Liverpool.

Liverpool is ahead in probability because they are playing at home, and moreover, Newcastle's performance is currently declining. Liverpool must not underestimate Newcastle in the slightest today, otherwise Liverpool must be prepared to lose points. Of course, this is the most interesting match at the beginning of 2024.

Liverpool are stronger and more stable than Newcastle United. Their recent performances show that Liverpool are stronger in the coming match but playing as an upper team contains risk. I hope Klopp will warn Liverpool players about this risk and motivate his players to do their jobs carefully in the match against Newcastle United. It will help Liverpool to avoid risk of losing the match and increase their chance to be the winner.

Arsenal lost 2-1 away to Fulham after taking the lead in the 5th minute.Arsenal are in a poor run of form and if they don't bounce back quickly they will fall behind in the title race.Arsenal were not at their best in the second half, taking the lead through Saka's goal but ending the first half 1-1.

Yes. I don't know what happened to Arsenal, after losing 0-2 to West Ham and now losing to Fulham 2-1, Arteta must immediately evaluate his declining performance if he doesn't want to lose the chance to win the league again this time.
I see that the main factor in the declining performance of Arsenal players is their untested mentality, when facing pressure they don't seem to know what to do on the field, the players don't seem to know how to win the match. , and in the end, instead of winning, they even lost,
if this continues to happen I think I will continue to lose points and fail to catch Liverpool who will most likely move away after winning against Newcastle tonight.

Newcastle is undergoing a crisis and is nowhere near the performance level of Liverpool.

Liverpool is 13 points ahead, has not lost a single game in quite a while but Newcastle has lost four of their last five games in a very disappointing manner against inferior opponents. I don't think this is a game that is unpredictable. Of course Newcastle has a chance, but it doesn't look very promising for them because it is unlikely that they can make a U-turn against Liverpool when they were not able to do it against weaker teams before this game.

But it will be a hard fight regardless and I am hoping for Liverpool to win the game.

[Ahli38]

It is true that this will be a very important match for Liverpool this season. Because if they manage to get 3 points in this match then this will widen the point difference between Liverpool and the other teams who are right behind them. Currently Aston Villa even has the same number of points as Liverpool. And yes, they have the potential to take 1st place in a few weeks if Liverpool are not able to maintain their distance properly. And to maintain the goal difference, beating Newcastle is something that Liverpool must succeed in doing.

Statistically and historically, Liverpool is clearly the favorite. You can see the head to head history between Liverpool vs Newcastle in the last 5 matches. And yes the results are amazing. Namely, Liverpool managed to win their last 5 matches against Newcastle. Even though we know that last season Liverpool slumped. But it turns out that last season Liverpool were able to win against Newcastle. And Liverpool's current condition is much better than last season so Liverpool's chances of winning are truly credible.

Liverpool have a tough opponent in today match because Newcastle United cannot be considered weak even though they were not in good condition in the previous few matches, but Newcastle United often perform well when they face teams that are stronger than them. However, Liverpool certainly does not want to lose points in this match where Salah et al will try to win this match in order to maintain their ranking as leaders of the standings.

Apart from that, I see that Salah and Nunez have been in their best form lately, of course this is quite a wise encouragement if you want to bet on Liverpool winning. Yes, Liverpool certainly wants to widen the gap with the Aston Villa team which is in second place, so Liverpool really has to make the best use of this match against Newcastle United to get 3 points.

I thought about what you said about Newcastle who are sometimes better when they face strong teams. Then I remembered Newcastle's match in the Champions League and yeah at that time PSG couldn't even beat Newcastle. Well, even then, Newcastle proved that they sometimes play very well when facing strong teams. Newcastle's main problem is only that their consistency has decreased after lacking quality players due to the storm of injuries that hit their team.

Now I'm starting to think that this fight will be much more difficult to predict. But I still stand by my analysis and predictions that Liverpool are in a better position and have the opportunity to win quite convincingly. In fact, I predict there will be a lot of goals in this match.
