Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Cryptmuster]

I think City's current strength lies in Kevin de Bruyne and Haaland. These two players were key to City's game in achieving the treble winner last season. We could see at the start of the season when KDB was injured how City's game was below our expectations. So KDB's return is the good news that fans have been waiting for. I hope KDB can play with Haaland again when their condition is 100%. Currently they are only 2 points behind Liverpool in first place and with many games still remaining I think City will again have a big chance to become back-to-back EPL champions this season.

City played for half a season without De Bruyne and in the last games Haaland was injured, but this did not prevent City from reaching the Champions League playoffs and being a few points away from Liverpool in the Premier League. Of course these are very important players for City, but Guardiola does not build the game around one or a few players, he builds a team in which every player can be replaced and the team continues to win. The return of De Bruyne is very important, I can see how Guardiola is happy about it, so such a player will definitely strengthen the team.

The whole Manchester city players and fans are happy to see him return to the team. I think De Bruyne's return makes Manchester City title favorites. He’s a dangerous guy on a good day. Few players in world football truly have the talent to take your breath away, but there's no doubt Kevin De Bruyne is one of them.

Long absent due to injury but his presence immediately brought a big influence on the team, really that was an extraordinary thing.
Kevin De Bruyne is really a talented player and as far as In he has proven many things to the world.
The condition of the Manchester City team was a little shaken but with the recovery of Kevin De Bruyne, no one doubted that the Manchester City team would be stronger.
Regarding the favorment in winning the title, it has been since the start of the season but the return of Kevin De Bruyne provides far more energy.

Normally, when a player has just recovered from an injury, they usually will not return to their best performance quickly. Sometimes more adaptation is needed in some games. There are even things that don't get better after half the season has passed. But K. De Bruyne is completely different. He returned to the field and immediately contributed greatly to his team and what was amazing was that he did so in the limited minutes he played. Because Pep still seems worried about his midfielder. So he has not been given full playing time.

The return of K. De Bruyne has had a huge impact on Man City. Even Man City's attack line has become sharp again thanks to the presence of De Bruyne on the field. I think Man City is lucky to have this player. Because even though he was absent for quite a long time, now he is starting to contribute well again when he returns. The title is not impossible for Man City. The problem is just waiting for Liverpool to make a mistake.

Everton and Nottingham Forest will reportedly face points deductions for violating the Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) of the Premier League. I think this case is not the first time for Everton because last November they experienced almost the same thing and received a 10 point deduction. If they are proven to have violated this again, then they will definitely lose the points they have worked so hard to get so far.

If they are found guilty for the second time and given another potential 10 point deduction this late in the season, it will do them more harm than the early one they received in November. I'm amazed they broke so many rules, starting with overspending on their stadium reconstruction and now what FFP? I'm not shocked to see Nottingham Forest on the list. After all, this is a team that brought in nearly 25 new players last season, which was impossible to achieve without breaking the rules.

In any case, neither team will be missed. Everton fought and won the last two relegation battles, so maybe it's time to finally go to the championship. 10 points deduction each from both teams will see them occupy 20th and 19th on the table.

Obviously this is not what they want but if it is proven wrong then Everton and Nottingham must be prepared to accept the risk. Of course, this is detrimental because collecting points every week is difficult, especially against strong teams and we know that the EPL is like hell for mediocre teams. I think this violation is so serious that it makes the fate of Everton and Nottingham even more wide open towards the relegation zone and of course they will have even more difficulties with the remaining matches they will face.

It was too late and there was nothing they could do but accept this bitter reality. Maybe learning alone is not enough and they still want to repeat it again. Anyway, talking about this case, we must remember that Manchester City also has 115 charges and they are still completely untouched by the relevant parties, right?

I think Man City is lucky to have this player. Because even though he was absent for quite a long time, now he is starting to contribute well again when he returns.

So far Kevin made good impacts with his return for Manchester City and brings a lot of expectation that he will make more and bigger impacts in coming months. This is only expectation with an assumption that Kevin will not get injured in future. If his body is well, with his skills and talent, he will surely contribute big things for Manchester City not only in Premier League but also in Champions League.

Will he be well or get injured is a very big uncertainty for him and Manchester City. As a Premier League fan, I wish best for Kevin because with it, the title race between Manchester City and Liverpool will be more exciting.

It seems that incidents of injury are difficult to avoid in all matches played and therefore, of course, the risk of injury will always be there and can be experienced by anyone at any time . Regarding De Bruyne, of course there is still a lot of concern because after all, after the long injury De Bruyne suffered and and also, considering De Bruyne age is not young. So yes, if for example De Bruyne suffers another injury then it will likely take longer to recover.

Therefore, I think Pep Guardiola will always anticipate bad things like that because of course, De Bruyne is still really needed to restore Manchester City's performance to be better and more consistent . Thus, the solution is not to play De Bruyne for the full 90 minutes, so that De Bruyne will play more often from the bench. Even though if De Bruyne is included in the starting eleven, but of course De Bruyne will be replaced in the middle of the match.

This decision is not final and Everton can appeal, I don't understand why a club can be punished twice in one season because last November Everton experienced it. Currently Everton is in 17th place with 17 points and if this points deduction is applied then Everton will lose 10 points meaning Everton has the chance to be relegated, we know this is very disappointing after what Everton did to get out of this red zone. Apart from Everton, there is also Nottingham Forest which experienced the same thing this problem will have an impact on their position in the standings. Meanwhile Burnley and Luton will take advantage of this situation I mean both teams will overtake Everton and Nottingham in the standings and for Sheffield United this has no impact because they only collected 9 points from 20 matches.

Well, the decision is not final yet and there is still possibility for Everton to get leniency because 10 points is very large number and it requires lot of effort to collect 10 points for this season for Everton.
If the decision is final and there is no relief that Everton can get then they will be the team that will be relegated next season and they will only play in the Championship League for one season if in the Championship League they succeed in becoming champions and are promoted again.
It just that there will be lot of disappointment for Everton and all fans because they have to see their proud team relegated from the Premier League, this will be tough season for Everton.
Juventus also experienced the same incident last season but they managed to recover and have now become strong team for Serie A.
Everton must be able to imitate what Juventus did, where after experiencing various difficulties and even being punished by points deductions, they were still able to recover for the next season and prove that they are one of the strongest team.

Kevin has always been the best for long and his return got people wondering if he still got the skills but I knew Kevin will come back strong, I think pep knew Kevin return will be so good that's why he didn't panic when they didn't perform good and now Kevin is back I believe every team will feel the impact, the match against Newcastle shows  that Manchester city might take the title but let's not judge yet cause even with Kevin and his performance the team can still go down if they fail to play and work as one.
Talking about another injury sounds funny cause I don't think Bruyne will experience another injury sooner or later, although some players suffer from such experience after their first or second injury but I believe Bruyne case will be different, let's just imagine if Bruyne experience another injury can the team stand strong or they'll keep playing each matchday without a win, just asking cause I observed their performance against Newcastle and everyone worked hard not just Bruyne but the reason why everyone is talking about Bruyne right now is because of his performance and he just got back from an injury and he managed to score a goal.

I think City's current strength lies in Kevin de Bruyne and Haaland. These two players were key to City's game in achieving the treble winner last season. We could see at the start of the season when KDB was injured how City's game was below our expectations. So KDB's return is the good news that fans have been waiting for. I hope KDB can play with Haaland again when their condition is 100%. Currently they are only 2 points behind Liverpool in first place and with many games still remaining I think City will again have a big chance to become back-to-back EPL champions this season.

In fact, Man City's strength is almost evenly distributed across each player, only with the return of Kevin De Bruyne and soon Haaland will also recover from injury, this will increase the strength of Man City's front line and it is very likely that in every match when these two players are played, the number goals per game will increase. However, the most crucial thing is Kevin De Bruyne because he is the mastermind behind the Man City attack. Even though he missed half the season, as soon as he played he immediately showed his class. Even though it's only been two matches, he has shown his level again, even Kevin De Bruyne came on as a substitute in two matches and immediately felt the impact for Man City. Maybe wait a month so he can return to appearing consistently like the last few years so it is not impossible that they can defend the EPL title this season. However, in my opinion, it is impossible to maintain the Treble Winner because of the UCL League this season, because Real Madrid has made very big changes after bringing in Jude.

So far Kevin made good impacts with his return for Manchester City and brings a lot of expectation that he will make more and bigger impacts in coming months. This is only expectation with an assumption that Kevin will not get injured in future. If his body is well, with his skills and talent, he will surely contribute big things for Manchester City not only in Premier League but also in Champions League.

Will he be well or get injured is a very big uncertainty for him and Manchester City. As a Premier League fan, I wish best for Kevin because with it, the title race between Manchester City and Liverpool will be more exciting.

When he was still injured many fans expected him to recover quickly and give his best for Manchester City but he returned with little time given by Pep Guardiola he showed it all with goals and assists for his own club, so it will not be surprising if he returns will be very much awaited because it determines the big contribution to his club.

It's still hard to tell if Kevin De Bruyne will be okay, sometimes with unstable fitness they can get injured faster if they are too hard in the game, but we hope he doesn't get any more problems because with the second half of the season and the Champions League starting next month it means a lot to him.

[Roseline492]

Manchester City can always just fine without Haaland but their midfield especially KDB and Rodri as always been their backbone and this is the reason I will continue to say in order for Liverpool to win the league they have to be really consistent and avoid losing points since we know City are always at their best beginning of the year till season ends, which we can say it's an actual consistency that as given their Epl dominance

Irrespective of how strong and quality players Manchester City has, they will surely find it difficult to cope without Haaland because we all no how important Haaland is to Manchester City team and the efforts he normally puts on every of there matches so perhaps just like what Manchester City was facing when Kevin de Bruyne was on the injury that's exactly what Manchester City Will go through if Haaland is no longer with them but however they will get use to it but it will surely take time.

With the current performance of Manchester City now if they mange to enter the premier League first position I'm confident that they will surely win the league because ever since Kevin de Bruyne return from the injury Manchester City had been very consistent in performance.

[AprilioMP]

In fact, Man City's strength is almost evenly distributed across each player, only with the return of Kevin De Bruyne and soon Haaland will also recover from injury, this will increase the strength of Man City's front line and it is very likely that in every match when these two players are played, the number goals per game will increase.

Maybe wait a month so he can return to appearing consistently like the last few years so it is not impossible that they can defend the EPL title this season. However, in my opinion, it is impossible to maintain the Treble Winner because of the UCL League this season, because Real Madrid has made very big changes after bringing in Jude.

Expected Goal (XG) Manchester City is still below the Liverpool Expected Goal (XG) until the 20th match.
Manchester City recorded 40.4 (xg) while Liverpool reached 44.9 (xg).

Manchester City's strength is very balanced and Liverpool are also no different from them, but the effects of Kevin de Bruyne and Haaland make their strength very felt. If the two Manchester City players are ready to perform 100%, yes, the Manchester City attack line is very strong and makes Manchester City opponents need to prepare a special strategy to stop them.

UCL is hard for Manchester City to defend the defending title because the team will be a competitor Man. City are classified as very strong from them such as PSG, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Not just Real Madrid, but the other two teams that I have mentioned are eager to lift the UCL Trophy this season with all the strengths they have.

It would be very unfortunate for Everton if the 2nd punishment really happened to Everton, they have been working hard to collect points to get out of the relegation zone after the first point deduction but they have to suffer bad luck for the second time in 1 season. This is a heavy blow for Everton because they have violated the rules that have been set so they have to carry out this punishment after experiencing huge losses due to breaking the rules they have to receive an even more severe punishment. I think maybe this season Everton will end the relegation zone if the second punishment really happens before this season ends.

This decision is not final and Everton can appeal, I don't understand why a club can be punished twice in one season because last November Everton experienced it. Currently Everton is in 17th place with 17 points and if this points deduction is applied then Everton will lose 10 points meaning Everton has the chance to be relegated, we know this is very disappointing after what Everton did to get out of this red zone. Apart from Everton, there is also Nottingham Forest which experienced the same thing this problem will have an impact on their position in the standings. Meanwhile Burnley and Luton will take advantage of this situation I mean both teams will overtake Everton and Nottingham in the standings and for Sheffield United this has no impact because they only collected 9 points from 20 matches.

True but im doubting it. I meant if everton has been also doing it in the previous sanction and the club kept get 10 points deduction. This is the main problem owned by the club. Everton needs to perform even better than before caused by it will be relegated if club will get another points deduction.
Everton is still playing pretty well this time and i think that it can make it happen to leave from the relegation zone two times in a row. It's so disgusting to see that these clubs got sanctions but since they were breaking the rules and they deserved it.

Everton can repeat the same performance like when it was able to leaving from the relegation zone. This is the key owned by everton and the club needs to perform even better than before. There will be no second chance for everton caused by we are getting even closer to the end of season.
The fans were disappointing it but since it was the decision from EPL and they can only accept it. This must be giving a lot of lesson for everton to avoid any possibility to break the rules.

The main mission owned by everton to stay much longer in the club without being relegated to the bottom. Everton needs to use everything owned by the club to defend its position.

I think it is a move in a wrong direction for the FA to deduct 10 points from Everton at this point in time when the club is facing relegation battles, this will only dampen their confidence and also jeopardize everything they have worked for so far. Everton still has the right to an appeal though but if they lose the appeal then it would be very disastrous for them and may cost them their chances of escaping relegation so let's hope that everything goes in Everton's favour when the hearing for their appeal comes up.

Are you kidding? What kind of appeal can we talk about? Everton has already come out of a crisis situation and I'm not sure they need it.

That's the consequence if they don't obey the rules there was no way to avoid it if Everton had done it, Everton have narrowly avoided relegation after their struggles last month but unfortunately the problem is not over yet and clearly has an impact on the players' mentality, imagine if Everton deducted 10 points then they only have 7 points while this league only has 17 matches remaining meaning that Everton is definitely one of the candidates for relegation. Honestly, I think this is unfair and hope Everton can get past this however, I want to see Everton in the Premier League next season.

[red4slash]

It depends on how Arteta manages his players. Until now Arsenal's only problem has been in terms of performance because they can play very well but on the other hand they can also turn bad so when Arteta cannot stabilise that and anticipate the problems that have long existed for them then Arsenal will not be able to do anything.
Arsenal in terms of performance at the beginning of the season was good but we know that when it came to the half of last season they had a problem of declining performance quickly and when that cannot be anticipated then the performance will be the same as in previous seasons.

I can't say exactly what is wrong with Gunners but I'm not sure if players is what they lack, they started with the same players in the beginning of the season and the same are available or is it that they are tired now and can't do much again. Saka barely perform as he was during the beginning of the season. Declan Rice was hype but I think he is a quality player that does his part in many Arsenal games but he is now flat in performance. With three loss in a row, I think it's time they make a great return but my problem is how they tend to do it with Liverpool that are so on form, that match will be tough.

The shortage of players is not an excuse because in the last few seasons they have been the most loyal or perhaps it can be said to be the most wasteful in bringing in players because in the EPL transfers that are always released data Arsenal are always in the top 3 clubs with the largest expenditure to buy players so that in this case players should not be the reason they have a performance that sometimes changes unexpectedly.
Currently, they still have the same problem where in fact the problem in terms of performance that goes up and down quickly like a roller coster has occurred in the last few seasons and until now Arteta still hasn't been able to cure it even though it has been filled with young players who have enough potential.

I had this feeling that this Everton issue that got them lose 10 point would definitely come back to hurt them in a different way. I can't really get why they had to face this same penalty twice in one season, when it happened to Juventus they managed to get past it and they did very well on the log after the deduction of point but with Everton I don't see them doing any good in this one after the first punishment that transformed them, this upcoming problem would only kill the morale of the team, who knows they might end up in the relegation zone.

It would be very unfortunate for Everton if the 2nd punishment really happened to Everton, they have been working hard to collect points to get out of the relegation zone after the first point deduction but they have to suffer bad luck for the second time in 1 season. This is a heavy blow for Everton because they have violated the rules that have been set so they have to carry out this punishment after experiencing huge losses due to breaking the rules they have to receive an even more severe punishment. I think maybe this season Everton will end the relegation zone if the second punishment really happens before this season ends.

This is a serious problem for them because after all, the previous reduction alone they have been quite difficult even though their performance this season is still very good and it will be regrettable if this season they get another punishment again.

But indeed reflecting from before for Juventus something like this is still possible to happen, it's just that it's different from Everton because if in the end they get punished again now especially if it's a reduction in points then it can be said that they are more likely to be relegated.
Even though for the first ban they are still in the appeal stage but now the same charges have reappeared against Everton.

[KTChampions]

Expected Goal (XG) Manchester City is still below the Liverpool Expected Goal (XG) until the 20th match.
Manchester City recorded 40.4 (xg) while Liverpool reached 44.9 (xg).

Manchester City's strength is very balanced and Liverpool are also no different from them, but the effects of Kevin de Bruyne and Haaland make their strength very felt. If the two Manchester City players are ready to perform 100%, yes, the Manchester City attack line is very strong and makes Manchester City opponents need to prepare a special strategy to stop them.

UCL is hard for Manchester City to defend the defending title because the team will be a competitor Man. City are classified as very strong from them such as PSG, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Not just Real Madrid, but the other two teams that I have mentioned are eager to lift the UCL Trophy this season with all the strengths they have.

It’s a bit paradoxical, but despite the fact that Liverpool is better in these statistics, City scored more goals than Liverpool, but has fewer points.
As for defending the title, it is always difficult, but when I think about it, I begin to fear that City will be able to do it - in fact, they have 5 games left before the title (I do not count the games with Copenhagen) and in 4 of them they can make a mistake (since pair games). But at least there is hope that Real and Bayern will be able to stop them because they overcame the crisis of last year when City largely took the title for free.

The impact that would occur if Everton received another points deduction was clearly very large, everyone involved in the club would experience psychological pressure, and the club would be threatened with relegation. However, according to news circulating, the Premier League decision is not yet final, and Everton is currently waiting for a final decision. There is an opportunity for Everton to appeal if they receive another points deduction. The same thing also happened to Nottingham Forest, they are also waiting for the same threat that Everton is currently facing.

This news has caused various reactions from fans who reject the sanctions that threaten their favorite club, and I think everyone will return to speculating about other Premier League clubs, namely Chelsea and Manchester City. Two clubs were also reported to indicated have violated FFP rules, but so far no sanctions have been imposed on them. Despite all that, I predict Everton and Nottingham Forest will still be punished, even though we hope they can stay in the Premier League next season.

Everton impressed me after losing 10 points and still performing well in their matches and maintaining a good lead in the Premier League. I'm not sure what gave them morale the first time, but I believe it will be difficult to give them morale the second time. I feel bad for them, but they need to get through this and do well in the league; otherwise, they will be relegated, which will be even worse for them.

When he was still injured many fans expected him to recover quickly and give his best for Manchester City but he returned with little time given by Pep Guardiola he showed it all with goals and assists for his own club, so it will not be surprising if he returns will be very much awaited because it determines the big contribution to his club.

It's still hard to tell if Kevin De Bruyne will be okay, sometimes with unstable fitness they can get injured faster if they are too hard in the game, but we hope he doesn't get any more problems because with the second half of the season and the Champions League starting next month it means a lot to him.

Pep Guardiola and Kevin De Bruyne will be more cautious of his play on the pitch. They understand how important he is and what they've been missing since he went on the long injury; they would not want a repeat of that, so I assume they'll be cautious. Kevin De Bruyne has already made an impact in the team since his return from the long injury, and if he continues to play with them until the end of the season without further injury, Manchester City will be thriving.

Honestly, I think this is unfair and hope Everton can get past this however, I want to see Everton in the Premier League next season.

Obviously, if Everton get another points deduction penalty then of course it will be certain that Everton will be relegated. But apart from that, if you just know about the case, that the reduction of 10 points has been done and occurred in the first half of the season. So for this moment, the points that Everton currently have that it is included with the reduction of 10 point . So, basically Everton have managed to recover despite being deducted 10 points because of the punishment they received because after all, at this moment Everton are also outside the relegation zone.

Although indeed, Everton position is not completely safe but at least, because considering Everton who received a point deduction penalty and at the same time Everton did not have a stable performance . So ya, if Everton managed to get out of the relegation zone, of course it would still be a good result for Everton at this moment, because of course it is not easy to increase morale when the situation is bad as the team is currently experiencing.
