Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Avirunes]

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.

True, the game against Fulham was a major setback for us. I thought that Arsenal will close 2023 with style but they really let lot of fans down. Now we have dropped to 4th place on the table with this defeat and lot of clubs has passed us. We were in comfortable seat with chance of leading the table by the end but the two back to back losses is what took it from us. I feel we are lacking goalscorer right now, lot of our star players are finding it hard to score the goals. We need to be competitive if we have to win the title otherwise we will drop out of the top 4 and might end up in between 6-10th position by the end of the season. Right now this is huge concern for Arsenal and there will certainly be lot of pressure inside the Arsenal's dressing room.

If Arsenal will be sincere to themselves they are not living upto expectations. Many people had high hopes in Arsenal before the beginning of this season. The reason why people are hopeful that Arsenal can be the champions of the English premier League is because last season, Arsenal tried their best to be the winners of the English premier League and they nearly did it. So, everyone is expecting that Arsenal will come for revenge this time around and will be able to win the league this season. Even when the season started, Arsenal started on a good note but at this time, at the verge of losing 3 matches in a row is a bad sign.

Liverpool and Newcastle will make a very nice show but the odds are in the side of Liverpool to win. Currently, Liverpool is at the top of the English premier table, that aura and confidence of being number one ahead of city can give them the boost they needed to be the champions of the English premier League. Newcastle is not yet back to their good form after they were evicted from the champions league, that is why I am not routing for them.

Raul Jimenez hasn't done too much for Fulham but you could see his impact on the pitch, he was already there for the ball to come to out at the back of the net.
Quite dissatisfied and disappointed with the general performance of Arsenal football club, they should have done better. Though one can see that the players are exhausted completely too much games played same players no rotation. They need that depth for Christ sake

Even though he didn't get many chances, Raul was able to see the gap from the Arsenal defense players and scored a goal to equalize the score. To be honest, I didn't think that Raul would be able to move that quickly and convert the pass into an goal from a rather difficult angle because of Kiwior obstacles and Raya position was actually near the direction the ball went in, but whatever the story, we all know that every season Arsenal are unable to consistently maintain their playing performance especially on Boxing Day like now, Arsenal defeat should be a warning to Arteta about the depth of their squad currently, if arsenal not yet able to become champion contenders, in fact there is still a chance for Arteta to improve his team in the transfer market later, but what I fear is that as usual, Arsenal owners will be reluctant to spend a lot of money to recruit players.

I think the people are not mistaken when at least they see a chance for Arsenal to win the Premier League trophy this season. I mean why would they not have a chance? Maybe people agree that this is not the biggest chance of their lifetime, but to say that they have no chance would be completely wrong. People started to contemplate whether Aston Villa could potentially have a chance to win the title if they can continue the season like that, but as we have now seen these dreams can blow up within a very short period of time. However, Aston Villa is still at the top with Liverpool.

Bad month for Arsenal after being beaten 3 times overall Arsenal have missed 11 points from 5 matches and they dropped to 4th place in the standings I don't understand what happened to their squad why their performance continues to deteriorate even though previously they were at the top of the standings, there seems to be a problem with the team that we don't know about clearly this is not the Arsenal we knew before with great attack and strong defense. Arsenal opened the door for Liverpool to continue advancing or maybe Arsenal are out of the title race?

It's shocking to see that they earned four points from the last five games they played. Arsenal have failed the fans but just as Declan Rice said, it's not good to panic as there are enough game to make up with the loses they've had recently.
The transfer window begins already and it's time for Edu to show his worth once again, he should get help and energetic youngins in midfied, I don't know about their plans for Douglas Luiz another speculations?

People also complain about Andrea Onana for Manchester United,  have you taken a good look at David Raya? The goal conceded against Luton Town was the most shocking.

These are good coaches but the media will blast them for errors snce they're not british. At the least stages of the season, Aaron Ramsdale also committed huge blunders that caused em the league. Was he blasted in anyway?

[Mayor of ogba]

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.

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.

Newcastle United are not in form to match Liverpool shoulder-to-shoulder, Newcastle United has lost their last two premier league matches. Liverpool, we will want to beat Newcastle United to remain at the top of the premier league table.

[Velvet78]

I'm afraid David Raya is a really bad goalkeeper at the moment. Andre Onana's average rating in the Premier League so far is much higher than David Raya despite his being criticized very much as well. I think Ramsdale should continue to be the main goalkeeper for Arsenal. He didn't perform badly until Raya came honestly.

I don't even know why Arsenal started to think of parting their ways with Ramsdale. At least some news sources are saying like they will do this. No matter what Arsenal shouldn't trust Raya while he is performing this badly.  

[udidrone]

3 hours until the match between Liverpool v Newcastle most of us agree Liverpool will win because they want to continue to secure points and stay away from competitors, on the other hand, Newcastle is in poor form after their recent losing streak. on paper it's easy for Liverpool to beat Newcastle, but sometimes Liverpool wastes time like against Manchester United a few weeks ago, I hope Liverpool don't make the same mistake because this is an opportunity for them to win a trophy this season and some of Liverpool's main players may leave.

However, Aston Villa is still at the top with Liverpool.

It's true that ruling out any team's chances entirely might be premature. Arsenal, like any other top team in the league, has a chance to contend for the title. People contemplating Aston Villa's chances only to witness a change in dynamics is a testament to the competitiveness and volatility of the league. The standings can shift rapidly, and teams that may not have been initially considered title contenders can emerge as serious challengers.

The Premier League is known for its competitiveness, and every season brings new narratives and unexpected outcomes. Aston Villa's presence at the top of the table alongside Liverpool further emphasizes the point that early-season form and dreams can evolve or be challenged as the season progresses. Sustained performance and consistency are crucial factors in the title race, because the true contenders will emerge based on their performances.

[Avirunes]

It's shocking to see that they earned four points from the last five games they played. Arsenal have failed the fans but just as Declan Rice said, it's not good to panic as there are enough game to make up with the loses they've had recently.
The transfer window begins already and it's time for Edu to show his worth once again, he should get help and energetic youngins in midfied, I don't know about their plans for Douglas Luiz another speculations?

Douglas Luiz will be a tough one as he recently had his contract extended with Villa and he is main man in midfield for them. I think if Arsenal approaches Villa for Douglas Luiz, they will easily be asking for at least 50-60m Euro for him which I think is a bit expensive.

People also complain about Andrea Onana for Manchester United,  have you taken a good look at David Raya? The goal conceded against Luton Town was the most shocking.

Well mistakes do happen. What I don't like right now is lack of chances for Ramsdale who had been performing just perfect for Arsenal for lot of years. He is someone who is always leading the defence line and very involved inside the game.

These are good coaches but the media will blast them for errors snce they're not british. At the least stages of the season, Aaron Ramsdale also committed huge blunders that caused em the league. Was he blasted in anyway?

I don't think its about being british or not. Like I said, every goalkeeper makes some errors in his career and even Ramsdale had faced some criticism but the thing is how they take them next. Ramsdale is always kind of confronting type guy and takes these things as challenges. I feel like Ramsdale should be given more chances in between, he is just being left out for so much time now.

Suddenly we have Arsenal on back foot with they lost their third game from their last five games, and now they have to settle at fourth spot with things are looking not good for them in last five games they are able to score only 4 goals and concede 6 which are worst for them at this level hopefully now in this break they will learn from their mistakes and fight back in coming matches even they are still one of the best and have enough chance for the title race.

Fulham is very dangerous side Arsenal lost second derby match and Fulham won after losing three games which is surely good fight back from them now today we will have Liverpool is hosting struggling Newcastle United which is currently having some serious troubles, and we have rumours about Eddie sack as well hopefully things will be positive for the Liverpool, and they will keep their top spot and keep winning games.

I agree with you that Liverpool will play their possible best to make sure that they win Newcastle in this match for them to be on top of the table. However, it wouldn't be an easy match because we should not underestimate Newcastle afyer they lost their last match Luton. Newcastle might decide not to accept defeat because it will affect their position on the table but I know that if worst cone to worst it might be a draw game. I don't think that Liverpool will love the game to end up in a draw because they will be out to win all three points to themselves to put them on a better side of other clubs competing for the trophy this season.

Arsenal is no longer the team that has a winning mentality like before, so it is natural that they are not able to maintain their best form even when they are leading the standings. Arteta certainly needs to learn many things from failure that will allow him to do something better for Arsenal's future. Arsenal's squad is good, but they have to be mentally strong to withstand the pressure in a crucial match.

The defeat to Fulham was a sign that Arsenal were not ready to fight for the title until the end of the season, but they were still on the right track to try to do it again until the end of the season. If Liverpool lose to Newcastle today, then Arsenal should be one of the teams that benefits.

I agree with you that Liverpool will play their possible best to make sure that they win Newcastle in this match for them to be on top of the table. However, it wouldn't be an easy match because we should not underestimate Newcastle afyer they lost their last match Luton. Newcastle might decide not to accept defeat because it will affect their position on the table but I know that if worst cone to worst it might be a draw game. I don't think that Liverpool will love the game to end up in a draw because they will be out to win all three points to themselves to put them on a better side of other clubs competing for the trophy this season.

Liverpool got a good moment this week after the main competitor was defeated in 2 consecutive matches if Liverpool do not make the same mistakes then they are 3 points in front of the competitor therefore I do not hesitate Liverpool will win this match especially Newcastle is not confident in their last defeat so Liverpool have a great chance to win. This month Liverpool have a new competitor, Manchester City will take over Arsenal's position as Liverpool's competitor, competing with Manchester City is certainly more difficult than Arsenal then Liverpool must be able to take advantage of every opportunity.

[dezoel]

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.

Tottenham is doing good after having few bad weeks even they lost against Brighton but still things are positive for them, and they have enough chance for the staying at the top for the fight of top four spots their attack is doing impressive job, and they have to stay as they are playing in last few matches Bournemouth is very competitive in last few weeks and their aggressive approach is giving them good results but in this game we have early lead from Tottenham which keep things good for them, and then we have few more goals from their attackers like Son and Richarlison which bring good win for them.

Now their next challenge is against unpredictable and worst team Manchester United at Old Trafford where they need to have another win which will keep them at the right place with Manchester United is still not able to settle their problems.

[Nheer]

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.

Overall Newcastle have had good record against strong oppositions this season but they have been having a bad run of games recently as they have not won any of their last three games in all competitions. Two defeat coming from bottom table teams Nottingham Forest and Luton Town and also they were eliminated in the EFL cup by Chelsea that have been struggling recently. I think the injury crisis with Newcastle is having an effect on their poor performance and it could also affect them in the match because Liverpool have not lost a premier league match since September when they lost to Tottenham Hotspur.

Definitely it’s a difficult game to predict and will be an interesting game to watch, I believe Newcastle will not make it easy for Liverpool but this is an opportunity for Liverpool to extend their lead in the standing so they would not want to misuse this opportunity.

[ShowOff]

I agree with you that Liverpool will play their possible best to make sure that they win Newcastle in this match for them to be on top of the table. However, it wouldn't be an easy match because we should not underestimate Newcastle afyer they lost their last match Luton. Newcastle might decide not to accept defeat because it will affect their position on the table but I know that if worst cone to worst it might be a draw game. I don't think that Liverpool will love the game to end up in a draw because they will be out to win all three points to themselves to put them on a better side of other clubs competing for the trophy this season.

This month Liverpool have a new competitor, Manchester City will take over Arsenal's position as Liverpool's competitor, competing with Manchester City is certainly more difficult than Arsenal then Liverpool must be able to take advantage of every opportunity.

Many people predict that Liverpool can win their home game without any problems, but basically Newcastle is a strong team. Newcastle is a team that is capable of playing well to take points from Liverpool, but it is true that Newcastle has not been in its best form in the last few matches. The team's performance is not good and the morale of the players is affected, but I really want Liverpool to lose their home game.

Not without reason, Newcastle has lost 12 points out of 15 points contested in the last 5 matches. They have to end that bad trend and reset things properly, but I know Newcastle's chances of snatching victory against Liverpool are not very good. Liverpool has the desire to win the match and stay at the top of the standings, but my big hope is that Newcastle can make things difficult for Liverpool today.

[Raflesia]

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.

Liverpool will capitalize on the loss of Arsenal yesterday and trash Newcastle so that they can extend their lead at the top of the table. Liverpool will not like to miss this opportunity, this is a must win for them.

It would be great if Liverpool could take advantage of that but on the other hand Newcastle is also not an arbitrary club now even though in the last few matches they have been disturbed in terms of performance but Newcastle is currently still one of the dark horses that could trouble Liverpool.

Liverpool's asa to widen the distance of points from Aston Villa who have the same points this time is clearly very large but even so, until now there are still some shortcomings that Liverpool have, especially for their attack line.
Salah is still playing very well but that is not the case with other players where until now Nunez is still very bad and I categorize him as a flop player for Liverpool's purchase because the 2 seasons he did he could not give the performance he deserved for his expensive price because in the 18 matches he did he only just scored 5 goals so far in the EPL.
As long as Salah is shut down by Newcastle then they will definitely be very difficult even though they are the favorites in this match but anything can still happen now.

[shogun47]

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.

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.

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.

Eddie Howe is also going through a tougher phase than Erik Ten Hag but I still see that they have always wanted for the repeatedly sack of Erik Ten Hag who won a trophy for Manchester United. Eddie Howe on the other side has nothing to show but the pressure and hate on Manchester United is just too much I must say that. Eddie Howe also took them to the Champions League and failed and brought them back shamefully.

Against Liverpool, it's another Open game, as rival's to to Liverpool, I don't want them to win the game. Not even wining the Premier League Competition. Tonight? Newcastle be going to win.

I agree and Eddie Howe has raised the expectations himself, but now it is really not going well for them as they are out of the Champions League and didn't even make it into the Europa League, which is a bummer for them after they played such an amazing season. And they also had this amazing game against PSG and I am pretty sure that after the game a lot of fans thought that this is a major breakthrough for them and they will establish at the top of European soccer. But it is harder than that.

On the other hand I agree that Newcastle doesn't have as high expecations as Manchester United has for a good reason. Newcastle also refrained from making crazy investments. I think Newcastle can still work their way up and nothing is lost yet, but they need some better results now.
