Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Woodie]

It was a huge win for Liverpool and I feel sorry for Arsenal for their early exit from the tournament. Arsenal are lacking a good stricker and they need to get that settle immediately if they are to change their fortune anytime soon.

Huge win indeed!!

And at the start of the game when the Gunners  seemed to have the ball under their control, I had to check what my bookies thought of the game and was surprised to see that they had Arsenal as their favourite when the first half was being played and they did play a good 1st half which ended goalless....

But when the 2nd half started, the Reds seemed to have other plans and caught Arsenal off guard getting 2 bisg goals and shows the world why they are top of the league, congrats LFC fans  Keep the momentum going...

It was a huge win for Liverpool and I feel sorry for Arsenal for their early exit from the tournament. Arsenal are lacking a good stricker and they need to get that settle immediately if they are to change their fortune anytime soon.

For me, it is not a big win but it is surely an important win. Liverpool only scored 2 goals during the match, they also actually didn't dominate the match. However, they are lucky that they could score 2 goals in the match. Arsenal more dominated the match, they created more chances in scoring goals. But Arsenal fails to score a single goal, we can assume Arsenal players has lack of accuracy in shooting. If they have good accuracy, Arsenal may score many goal during the match.

In my own opinion, I think it was an important win and also a big win for Liverpool because it's actually not easy to beat a strong English Premier League club like Arsenal. It was a very difficult game for both sides as the two clubs searched for a win in the game but it was Liverpool who first found the net after Arsenal player scored an own goal.

I think it was game that Liverpool were destined to win if you ask me because had Arsenal converted their own chances, the result of the game might have been different from what we saw today. Liverpool have successfully eliminated Arsenal from the English FA Cup and have progressed to the next round of the competitive.

So you mean 2 goals to 0 is luck? I will like you to explain why it’s luck because Arsenal dominated the match, which makes them a better team. You have to know that nobody cares about the team that dominates a match, all everyone wants to see is the team that wins the match. Arsenal’s are now out of the FA Cup. Even if a club dominates a match and you can’t win, then the team that wins the match will be appreciated. Seriously, Liverpool played well by winning the match, and I will tell you, scoring two goals is no longer luck. Arsenal couldn’t secure any goals in the match, and you think it was lucky for Liverpool to win.

[nelson4lov]

So Liverpool eliminated Arsenal amd everyone's stance is that Arsenal were the better team and Liverpool was just lucky. Liverpool didn't get much chances in the first half even those Arsenal saw much of the ball, they had only a few clear cut chances compared the number of chances they created that wasn't ideal.

Well, Liverpool did me good today and I was glad. Only thing missing was that I didn't manage to get any bet in that favored Liverpool. It was a nice sweet 4+ odds on BcGame.

Liverpool have successfully eliminated Arsenal from the English FA Cup and have progressed to the next round of the competitive.

Won against a strong team of Arsenal's caliber when two best players out is always a significant achievement. The difficulty of the game for both sides further emphasizes the significance of the win. Liverpool had to work hard to secure their victory with an own goal and last minute goal. The own goal by an Arsenal player is just part of the game and Liverpool's ability to capitalize on the mistakes of their opponents at the ending minutes showcases their opportunistic style of play, a trait of successful teams.

The argument that Liverpool was destined to win the game can be supported by the idea that football outcomes are often influenced by key moments and turning points. Eliminating Arsenal from the English FA Cup is a noteworthy achievement. Cup competitions are particularly challenging, and progressing to the next round demonstrates Liverpool's desire to compete on multiple fronts. It also indicates their capability to handle the pressure of knockout stages and perform when it matters.

On average, when playing against a lower division club, EPL clubs will rotate using second tier players. Obviously this aims to minimize the fitness condition of their core players.
But they have to remember that the lower division teams will play more spartan and insist because they feel proud to be able to face an EPL club.
West Ham and Nottingham Forest are examples, they have to struggle to keep up with the games of these small clubs. Even though statistically it is clear that they are very favored to be able to win easily and score lots of goals.

Yes, that often happens because coaches don't want bad things to happen to their players, such as injuries or anything. In the FA Cup competition, several teams play with ambition to win match after match, but in the FA Cup match, coaches often give their reserve players the opportunity to appear fully in this match, making the game sometimes difficult to predict the outcome. For West Ham, they had to be satisfied with a draw in today match even though they were the favorite team but failed to win this match.

Apart from that, this is also a league break that coaches can use to strengthen their weaknesses by looking at the potential of their reserve players in the matches they play. The Premier League will start again in the next 5 days so there is still time for many teams to prepare the best strategy when the league starts again. On the other hand, we will see the match between Burnley vs Luton, where this match will bring together two bottom teams which I think Burnley will be able to win.

Point of correction, A former strong team, no longer ass strong and tactical as they started this season. To score even goal was a difficult issue for them, they dominated the match, but their dominance only rewarded them with an exit from the league. It seems they emulated Liverpool's inability to score the last time they visited Anfield . Arteta's boys need to with seriously on their goal scoring accuracy if they intend to stay competitive in the premier league top 4.

Arsenal's gameplay was good but  they couldn't score any goals. On the other hand. the Liverpool team was tactical. They played defensively in the first  half and Klopp tried to find  the weaknesses in Arsenal's defence. And in the second  half Liverpool were  able to make some excellent attacks. This is why  the result of the match was 2-0 till the  end. Liverpool's  defenders played very well. If the defense is not strong, it  would be very difficult  for Liverpool to resist a team like Arsenal. Salah and Szoboszlai were absent from the match due to injuries. If these two players  were in the squad, maybe we would have seen a more organized gameplay from Liverpool.

It is a huge disappointment to Arsenal fans to be eliminated now from the FA cup. They did their best and played a very good game but they were just not lucky to have won in today’s games. With 19 shots and 5 on target in comparison to 14 shots and 3 on target shows how intense the match was. Arsenal were very unlucky not to have gotten more goals on target even after getting 19 shots on target. Liverpool were able to score at the final minutes of the match and it was too late for Arsenal to recover and the goals would have weaken them the more seeing how much time was left when the goals were scored. It is a sad day for Arsenal and a jubilation for the Liverpool team and fans.

I never expected that poor performance on Arsenal team because I was thinking that irrespective of there poor performance lately and how they were able to hold Liverpool to a draw on there last meeting at Liverpool home that they will surely win Liverpool but I didn't no that they will perform this bad, truly Arsenal has completely lose form because if they had use the performance they had during the early time of this season they would have surely win Liverpool.

Perhaps Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur has similar challenges this season because Tottenham Hotspur started this season with a very impressive performance with the unbeaten record but however before the season had gone far they had already lose form and now they are trying to secure themselves top three of the league, so perhaps Arteta should really work on Arsenal team in other to put an end to this repeated mistake they always have.

These are one of those things we talk about Arsenal lately, they'll be Champions of the Premier League only of they ahave someone who can convert the chances they've been playing and creating.
The game had nothing to do with destiny and luck, Liverpool had them chances and they used it very well. The first goal should be blames on who please? I want to put that on Aaron Ramsdale as he didn't make a good decision while rushing out of goal in attempt to save that ball.

Luiz Diaz stepped up to help his side Liverpool win and Jurgen Klopp was so excited with how they play together. Tougher fixtures ahead they should keep them heads locked in.

[rahmad2nd]

The main thing that Arsenal should not be knocked out on the back of this defeat and not continue to lose in the EPL, because the statistics of their games does not look comforting, 4 points in the last 5 matches. This is terrible for their position in the table, as a 5 point gap from first place in such a difficult season is quite a big deal

If I refer to the statistics and line-up that Arteta fielded, I'm not sure they are really aiming for victory in the FA Cup match. the reason is, Arteta did not play his full core squad. whether intentionally or not, I really don't know what Arteta is thinking and planning. what is certain is that Arteta has made changes to the rotation of his players.  But let's just say that, if the Arsenal coach focuses his squad more on the Premier League. maybe that's why Arteta didn't play some of his main players, and I hope that's the scenario. or maybe Arteta is running out of ideas against Liverpool, but that conclusion seems unrealistic. so, the closest scenario is if Arsenal focuses more on the Premier League. after all, the course of this match was quite balanced based on statistics. in fact, in terms of opportunities, Arsenal is better. the first goal was a blunder by Jakub Kiwior, and Liverpool's second goal came in the 95th minute. well, let's see how Arsenal plays their match in the Premier League later. and I hope Arteta is able to get his squad back on the right track, because after all the opportunity is still wide open. after all, this competition still has quite a long match, and what is certain is that Arsenal cannot repeat the same mistakes as last season, which saw a decline as the competition neared the end.

L

During the first and second half Arsenal dominated but can't score any goal and that's very poor, with tonight  performance it shows Arsenal can't move forward this season, reason why I said Arsenal can't move forward, the team has zero effort to push forward for now, Arteta can still restructure the team but it shows he can't and the signing of a new striker should not be taken for granted, the team really need a striker this January, looking at the attempt and shots after the match and still no goal still baffles me, Arteta should restructure the team.

Quite some surprise results in the FA cup from the Premier League teams,they almost all of them have not won and we are at additional time now when the result are 1-1 for West Ham and 2-2 for Nottingham Forest.I know that most teams try their second formation when they are playing against lower division but that is unacceptable to not win against teams like Blackpool which is suffering a league down than Nottingham Forest.The same for West Ham,a team who won the Europa Conference League is not winning either against weaker teams playing in lower divisions.Luckily next week Premier League action will be back.

On average, when playing against a lower division club, EPL clubs will rotate using second tier players. Obviously this aims to minimize the fitness condition of their core players.
But they have to remember that the lower division teams will play more spartan and insist because they feel proud to be able to face an EPL club.
West Ham and Nottingham Forest are examples, they have to struggle to keep up with the games of these small clubs. Even though statistically it is clear that they are very favored to be able to win easily and score lots of goals.

If you say that West Ham did not play well because of the rotation of the horse coating players who played it was a big mistake because if you look at what they played in this match by looking at the squad they always played in the EPL it was all almost the same with the same formation and scheme.
I don't think this applies to West Ham even though some clubs may rotate but West Ham don't do that. They couldn't win because Bristol played very well and they could match West Ham's performance in this match so West Ham were quite troubled to face a club that was below their caste in this match.

This is not the right reason because in the end we also know they still have the same squad depth although indeed for the EPL when dealing with big clubs it is still very good but in this match the fact that they could not take advantage of the conditions of the caste difference really happened even though things like this are sometimes normal in football.

Indeed. Arsenal fans must expect Arsenal to win the trophy of FA Cup. They failed to maintain their position in the top of EPL standings, they won't have a big chance to win EPL trophy. So, they must have a big hope to win the trophy in another competition. Sadly, Arsenal must end their hope to win the trophy of FA Cup. But they won't regret it because they are defeated by Liverpool (one of the top team in England).

Yes, Arsenal played quite offensive, they dominated the match. But they must realize that they didn't play effectively. They also must evaluate their accuracy in shooting and their mentality during the match.

Anyway, it is great that Liverpool also has the chance to win FA Cup title now.

I will be rooting for Manchester United to get a win against Spurs in their next meeting but I cannot place my bets on that game because I know Manchester United are not reliable and consistent even when they play against a less stronger team. Getting a win against Spurs will mean Manchester United will have to be at one of their best performance levels on that day. The only safe bet is a draw in that game with both teams scoring a goal.

I don't think I'll bet on Manchester United to even draw with Tottenham. The team lost their first meeting even when they had players available they still lose the match, so what can we say about their current performance? The match will be difficult predict on to me that is a big risk, I can't even predict a draw because Manchester United can really disappoint with their performances at any point. This second meeting will be play at Old Trafford, and since Manchester United doesn't have good performance to compete with Tottenham, they may not have any point on that match. I don't think Manchester United will have a good outcome there.

If Ten Hags decide to use Altay Bayindir as their goalkeeper in their next match against Tottenham, i think they can able to draw the game, but if they pick Onana, the game won't finish in a draw. Even with the injured players from Tottenham, they still have the quality to defeat Manchester United.

I have a different opinion from you about Tottenham's match with MU and I predict a draw at the end of the match because for me the chance of a draw is greater when both clubs are going through bad times when almost so many main players are injured and this will really affect the performance of both This club even I would not bet a large amount on this match.
If we talk about the chances of winning it seems very slim but it is just speculation that Tottenham have a slightly superior chance of winning because they still have attackers who are capable enough to score while MU's attacking players are injured and their defense is very poor.
I never thought of blaming anyone even though Onana is still considered a bad goalkeeper but it all depends on the defense and the coach who provides the strategy.
To me betting on double chance seems much better for getting more certain results.

But against Liverpool the game took a direction that couldn't be predicted during the game. I think the goal against Arsenal after 80 minutes was brutal as it was an own goal when Arsenal themselvses had their chances to take the lead and instead they put the ball in the back of the net in their own goal. That's tough.

The second goal scored by Diaz was probably not even necessary anymore, but I am sure that this was one of those wins that Klopp enjoy in a very special way.

Arsenal have lost one of their hopes of winning a trophy this season because they were eliminated by Liverpool in today match. Of course the fans are quite disappointed with the results of today match but it must be admitted that Liverpool is more consistent than Arsenal. Even in the Premier League, Arsenal also had to give up their main place for Liverpool and I think Liverpool has really frustrated Arsenal this season.

Well, if Arsenal lose again in the epl match, they will automatically give up even more on winning the trophy this season. I think Arteta has to change Arsenal playing tactics to be better in the next match. He has to raise Arsenal enthusiasm to end the recent series of bad results.

But will Heung-min Son play or is he gone because of games in Asia? I just noticed that he was missing for the last game and it was said that he is playing in Asia. But I am quite sure that he will be gone until January 26th or some date around that as he will play the group stage for the Asia Cup and there are now 3 games to go. I don't think he is available for the game against Manchester United, which I think makes a difference. Manchester United is playing at home and will probably have a chance to win against Tottenha. They were able to beat Aston Villa and I am sure everyone knows about that game.

Actually Heung-min will absent for Tottenham Hotspur against Manchester United because he was joined with South Korea national team will play in AFC Asian Cup and he has been in South Korea squad against Iraq last night on friendly match, but have good news for Spurs have been success sign Timo Warner for short term option replacing Heung-min position. Since Heung-min will absent until six matches later for Tottenham Hotspur if South Korea success lead to final phase his position will replace by Timo Warner have adapt well with Premier League competition because ever played with Chelsea.
Inconsistent performance from Manchester United will give advantage for Spur get three points and open opportunity with top fourth position, I doubt with United will get chance for defeating Tottenham Hotspur.

I understood this by now and I was wondering in the beginning for how long he will be missing, but yes it is quite some time and it is during an important phase of the season. This seasonality is really a disadvantage for clubs who have most of the strong players from the African and Asian area in the world. The issue is that clubs are really not affected in the same way. I don't have an overview about the clubs and how many of their important players they have to approve to play for their national teams, but if some teams therefore will be missing their top players, it feels like a disadvantage.

But I think most players would do the same and it is an honor for them to play for their home country. It is also a responsibility because the kids from those countries look up to their idols and if they were to refuse to play for their country, it would have negative consequences for new talents to develop.

Damned, i can't believe it. Arsenal once again repeat the same result like last season. This lost is going to give bad impact to the performance from arsenal in the future. I can't even believe it how a penalty awarded by referee was destroying the focus of arsenal.
It makes liverpool was able to score another goal to make sure the club to win the game. The thing that i didn't even like from the club that played very open is they are putting too much focus into the how to attack.

Arsenal has proven it again about how garbage the performance from the club. Liverpool is still defending the chance to get 4 trophies this season, and it seems like that everything is still happening. This will be the habit owner by arsenal. The club will always be bottling it at the end of season.
Im so happy to see liverpool can win against arsenal. Arsenal had been owning the stats in the match against liverpool, but liverpool is always on point compared to the arsenal.

"No salah, No van dijk, No problem". People should be watching the match till the end of game. The arsenal fans probably got heart attacks caused by that. Congratulation for liverpool. It's a sweet win tonight.
