Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[hahay]

It was a very disappointing defeat, as it came against a team in a lower competition than them. If I'm asked if they deserve this defeat, then the answer is that they do, because in the game they are not so good and even the opponent can play better than them. Maybe the red card could be the reason for their defeat in this match, but still by chance when they were still playing with 11 players in the first half they did not show anything better.
West Ham must evaluate their defeat in this match, because if this continues it will be a threat that comes from within themselves when in the Premier League.

These are cup matches and it is obvious that West Ham did not have high hopes for these tournaments, the starting line-up for this game shows us this. Moes will concentrate all his efforts on the Premier League, this is obvious, and perhaps on the EL, as far as they have enough strength, but they do not have such a high-quality bench depth to try to qualitatively participate in more than two tournaments.

West Ham did not have a target in the FA Cup and therefore, West Ham did not play well in this match and West Ham preferred to be eliminated. It does not matter how weak the opponent West Ham faced in this match because yes, if basically West Ham does not have a target then a mediocre team like Bristol City will also be able to successfully beat West Ham.

Evidently, that in the first leg they also ended in a 1-1 draw and then, in this second leg West Ham played away and the result was worse because West Ham also did not have a good effort to be able to load goals in this match. About the red card that West Ham players got in the second half, it has absolutely no impact on West Ham's defeat in this match. Because yes, once again West Ham only more to focus on in the Premier League as well as in the Europa League and therefore, West Ham is willing to miss out on the FA Cup this season.

I really don't like double standards for teams but there is nothing we can do about it unfortunately. Manchester City also faced issues with FFP but they didn't get punished for that. When Everton do a similar thing their situation is evaluated differently. Why do these FFP rules are only applied for smaller teams?

Anyways this season will be really difficult for Everton and they are likely to battle for not to relegate on the final weeks once again. Everton weren't like this in the past but for a couple of years they have been really terrible. At least they haven't relegated yet.

Everton's current position is number 17 with 17 points. I read local news, Everton could have received a second penalty related to profitability. If there is another 10-point deduction penalty then they will be at the bottom. This means they will have only 7 points left. There's a good chance they could be relegated. If they can't win every game.

If Everton gets the sanctions for deducting points again, then of course Everton will immediately be thrown to the bottom of the standings. Even if that happens I doubt Everton will be able to avoid the relegation zone. Because with only 7 points remaining, it will be difficult to catch up with Luton's 16 points.

I think Everton should file an appeal or a more aggressive defense so they can receive lighter sanctions. Because it would be quite sad for Everton if they had to be relegated just because they received a double points deduction.

Well that would be really sad. But Everton's minimum points deduction is 6 points based on what I read. So Everton can fight so that they are not sanctioned with a 10 point deduction again, but getting a 6 point deduction might still give them the opportunity to avoid the relegation zone.

West Ham must evaluate their defeat in this match, because if this continues it will be a threat that comes from within themselves when in the Premier League.

It seems that West Ham is experiencing a decline in performance because I see that there are no problems whatsoever with the players who I currently see are very fit, but for some reason the West Ham players have difficulty when they want to score, even though they have not been able to take advantage of several opportunities well.
If West Ham performance is still like this when they play against Sheff Utd in the coming week, it doesn't seem convincing because even though Sheff Utd is at the bottom of the standings, this team often puts up resistance which makes it difficult for the away team to score.
It's a shame but the narrow score doesn't really matter anyway.

There are lots of players were participating in the AFCON and it was forcing westham to play with the available resource. This has proven that if the secondary team of westham was not better compared with the lower division club like bristol.
This is crazy how westham was losing against a mediocre team like that. David moyes needs to aware if he has a very bad secondary team. I just said based on the result in FA cup.

Some people were calling it as a bad competition but how many times westham won FA cup? 10 times? 20 times? Stop to call this as a garbage cup if westham was not even regularly winning it.
The absence from a lot of players were costing westham FA cup which is big for a club like westham which was rarely winning the trophy. This is bad and really really bad, i can also imagine how many people were losing due to the poor performance from westham.
The club needs to be re evaluated as soon as possible especially for the secondary squad owned by the club. They were played like amateur players.

Funny that last season Everton were in the relegation zone without penalties and miraculously managed to stay in the EPL... Looks like they have a tough task to survive again this season... If they do get a 10 point penalty they won't stand a chance...

Of course, Everton will definitely appeal against the problem that befell them. In fact, regarding the sanctions for deducting points that they received in November, it seems that Everton have already appealed the first sanction. It's just that perhaps the results have not yet come to light until now. And now Everton is facing a new problem and well this won't be easy for Everton. (Sourch)

Nottingham Forest is also facing the same problem as Everton. Namely, Nottingham also has the potential to receive the same points deduction as Everton. And if Nottingham also gets points deducted then Nottingham will also be thrown into the relegation zone. And with the inconsistency that Nottingham currently has, I also see that it will be difficult for Nottingham to avoid the relegation zone if they get points deducted.

And regarding Everton, I also hope that their appeal can result in them getting lighter sanctions. Just like Juventus in Serie A last season, which initially received a deduction of 15 points, then thanks to their appeal they finally only got a deduction of 10 points. Which means it is lighter than the initial sanctions decision. I think Everton are capable of doing the same if they appeal well.

[Baki202]

Yes, Man City and Liverpool are neck-and-neck. Its amazing how one mistake can change everything. Man City appears revitalized with De Bruyne returning. His presence works wonders. Their gameplay has become more dynamic and aggressive. But their defense, as you noted, is worrying. They seem intent on attacking but forgetting to secure the back door.

Im undecided about Arsenal. Despite their ups and downs, I wouldnt write them off. Arteta's a wizard at surprising. Aston Villa, Tottenham, and the rest will also struggle. Who can stay calm and grasp opportunities in the final stretch?

Both of them are on a drag but I believe that Manchester will still win this trophy you know when you know your club to well then it is even easier to make predictions about them. Now that de Bruyne is back it another addition strength and know Liverpool is trying all they can to win this season but it won't be at a give away because they have us to pass through first. They even tried because at first I never expected them to get to this level but they did. But its non of my concern all I care about now is how Manchester city will bag the trophy and then the Champions League at first out performance was done but now we are back in the game. Arsenal should not be among clubs when talking about clubs because they are unserious and lack commitment so they are not to be counted among the big dogs they had their opportunity but they blew it away.

Well I hope so too. Because last season Everton fought very hard to avoid the relegation zone. At that time they entered the relegation zone because of their really bad performance since the start of the season. So in the end they changed coaches in the middle of the season and then Everton improved and were able to avoid the relegation zone and were actually almost relegated.

And this season, Everton started well with coach Sean Mark Dyche and in fact, without deducting points, they could be safely around the top 10. But now they have to get involved again with the relegation zone like last season. The difference is that last season they were involved in the relegation zone because of poor performance and now they are involved in the relegation zone because of sanctions for deducting points. Maybe the appeal they submit can result in them only getting the lowest or minimum sanction, namely only 6 points. But if they lose the appeal. then everything will really make Everton have the potential to be eliminated from the EPL. Unless they miraculously win a lot of games the rest of the season.

Yesterday West Ham lost in the FA cup against a team playing in a much lower division than the Premier League and that for me was a really big surprise result.A team from the Premier League who happen to have won not long ago the Europa Conference League to lose to a team playing in a lower division.That shows that West Ham is truly in a volatile performance in the Premier League.

I thought West Ham would recover in the second half, but Benrahma's red card turned the whole order upside down. Unfortunately, after this moment, nothing was achieved other than waiting helplessly against Bristol. They don't care much about the FA Cup, but it must still be sad for them to lose to a team in the lower league.

I was also very surprised when I saw West ham lose to Bristol. The reason is, West Ham currently has a not too bad record in the Premier League. Namely in 6th place in the standings. Meanwhile, Bristol itself is currently ranked 14th in the league standings (lower division). So if you look at it from here, it's actually not difficult for West Ham to beat Bristol.
However, in reality West Ham was unable to score a single goal.

But even so, in fact the West Ham players created many opportunities from the first half until the final whistle sounded. However, unfortunately this opportunity was not utilized optimally by the West Ham players. It is also possible that because of Benrahma's dismissal, West Ham's front line became a little shaky and unstable in launching its attacks. Because after all, losing in the number of players has a very big influence. So, the attacks carried out by West Ham players against Bristol's goal were less than optimal and less accurate.

So West Ham ultimately had to be satisfied with the result of their defeat. Even though the FA Cup is not very important for West Ham, losing to a team below it feels a little disappointing. But that's the world of football, anything can happen. No matter how strong a team is, if its players' performance declines, even weak teams can sometimes beat them.

Manchester City is a team that has dominated the Premier League in the last few seasons. They have won 5 of 6 titles in the last 6 seasons, so this season they will try hard to win an additional title for the fourth time in a row. The points gap with Liverpool is not much, so their job will not be too difficult considering there are still many games until the end of the season.

Liverpool will certainly try their best to maintain their team's performance every match. Their performance is good, but Manchester City behind them is a big threat to Liverpool. Both teams will make the most of each game and avoid dropping points, but I agree that Manchester City has a higher chance of winning the title.

A red card is one of the things that weakens the team's performance in the match because the player who received it is a wing player, and no matter how the performance changes, no one will be able to move with the ball like before. I also believe that Westham didn't care about the FA Cup this season, which is why they don't play like they did in the Premier League. Westham has been a strong opponent to many teams in the Premier League this season. If they really cared about the match, they wouldn't mind receiving a red card and would continue to play until the game end.

However, I also believe that Muhammad Kudus is crucial to the West Ham team because, in my opinion, if he is in the game, the team will always try to score a goal. Kudus is a powerful wing player who can move with the ball, and we can see that, in my one and only observation, the absence of a player can sometimes affect the team's performance. I say this because I have seen many excellent teams struggle to perform when a key player is missing. Let's face it: kudus is crucial to the West Ham team

I didn't get to see the game to the very end, that was because, I dozed off right after that goal was scored. It should have been a penalty if he had not beaten the goalkeeper completely. ( I mean the first goal ).
West Ham United wasn't with players like Paqueta, Kudus the Ghanaian as lastly Jared Bowen. They're name I knew that wasn't available.

Ivan Toney after his eight months ban has finally returned and should be amongst the list of players to play the next games for Brentford.
Though, I would love if he makes the switch to Arsenal, but that's far from getting done.

Everton are now the scapegoat, this should definitely lead to point deduction,but if it doesn't, they should and would escape relegation.

Liverpool are very good, Klopp has been coaching them for a long time and under his leadership they have achieved a lot, but if we compare them with City, I would give preference to Guardiola’s team. Guardiola knows how to maintain a high level of play for many seasons, without major failures, and I like such teams better.

Two points is a very insignificant advantage, there are still many games ahead and everything can change. Perhaps we are already accustomed to the fact that City are the leaders of the Premier League, and it is difficult for us to imagine that anyone can break their dominance. It seems Arteta tried to do this, but Arsenal is missing something every time.

Everton's performance last season and this season is not much different, but there is a slight improvement compared to last season however due to the reduction in points it is quite difficult for Everton to get out of the relegation zone. Now their position is one level above the relegation zone and inconsistent performances will make them even worse. Winless from the last five games so they dropped a lot of points and this will be a big problem.

Luck like last season will be difficult to get back and I doubt that Everton can get out of that zone. Although the opportunity is still quite open because there are matches that they have to play this season until the end. So let's see how the next match will be, whether lose again or draw.

There's no doubt that Pep Guardiola has won many trophies and has achieved more than what his Liverpool counterpart Jurgen Klopp have been able to do at his club. Just like you said, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have won the English Premier League trophy five times in the last six seasons and are very much in contention to win again for the fourth time in a row but that I think will be very difficult to happen when considering the performance of Liverpool in the league this season.

The Reds have undoubtedly been the most consistent team in the English Premier League this season and are still at the top of the league at the moment. Pep Guardiola knows how embarrassing it'll be for Pep Guardiola's Manchester City to overtake him and win the league again this season so I don't expect such to happen. I think the winner of this season's English Premier League title is surely gonna be either of the two teams but I'm backing Liverpool to win it this time

For the English league, even a difference of 5 points is still considered very vulnerable or small for  team not to be couped by another team, the English league competition is very competitive and even makes the competition for the championship very difficult to predict even when there are only a few games remaining, this season it looks like we Starting to see several teams starting to rise and try to enter the title race and even now there are 5 teams that are still candidates to win the English League.
Consistency is something that has been missing from Arsenal for a long time and that is why currently Arsenal is starting to return to factory settings and it is difficult to compete at the top of the standings, As an Arsenal fan, I only hope that Arteta can find a solution to Arsenal problems so far and be able to become a strong competitor  to win the EPL trophy.

[Mr.right85]

Everton's current position is number 17 with 17 points. I read local news, Everton could have received a second penalty related to profitability. If there is another 10-point deduction penalty then they will be at the bottom. This means they will have only 7 points left. There's a good chance they could be relegated. If they can't win every game.

Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67978537

Everton are really fighting hard to avoid relegation this season, which is caused by the 10 points deduction that they had this season. If another 10 points are deducted from Everton's points, then I don’t think Everton will be able to avoid relegation this season. If 10 points are deducted from their current point, they will be left with just 7 points, which will put them in the last position on the table. I think they are going to find it difficult to win all their matches, so I don’t think they will be able to avoid relegation this season. The point deduction is really going to affect the players mentality.

It’s very sad that Everton will be facing another punishment after being handed a second set of charges just months after they suffered a 10-point deduction for earlier breaches. It’s so unfortunate because the prospect of further punishment has cast a pall over the fine work done by the manager Dyche to guide his team out of the relegation zone after receiving the sanction to sit a point clear of the drop.

I don’t think they’ll survive this second punishment if they’re are found guilty. The second half of the season is usually the toughest part as clubs would fight to stay ahead of the red zone. Taking points away from Everton would definitely be a disaster. They will not survive it, they’ll go down.

Sadly I agree, they have a stronger squad than Liverpool. First XI’s are similar in quality but Man City have more depth.

Their time is coming though next year when they will face the PL in court over allegations of breaking the rules. They have 115 charges, everything from huge points deductions to relegation is possible.

So far Liverpool, Arsenal and several other teams have always tried to break Manchester City's dominance in the Premier League. They could still possibly break it, but of course these teams need super hard efforts to do it. Only Liverpool could stop Manchester City in the last few seasons, but that happened in the 2019-2020 season.

Pep Guardiola was recently named the best FIFA coach 2023, he deserved to win the award after having a great season with Manchester City last season. Pep Guardiola has won 16 titles with Manchester City since becoming coach in July 2016. This season he will also be aiming for more titles, including defending the Premier League title and also the Champions League.

Yes, maybe that's what all Premier League teams hope for Manchester City. If not, it will be very difficult for all existing teams to stop their dominance. I'm not sure Manchester City can really be punished even if they get 115 charges, they will definitely defend themselves as best they can to avoid getting punished.

Yeah they will really have a tough time to survive this season because they are still very close to the relegation zone so perhaps they really need to be very consistent on there performance this days to avoid going back to relegation again, but however considering there performance I don't think they can be able to win crystal Palace on there next match because crystal Palace is actually more good in performance this season than Everton and considering the position of crystal Palace they really need to win the match to improve more on there table and perhaps if crystal palace manage to Everton and Luton wins there next match that means Everton will fall into the relegation zone.

The issue that occurred was about the possibility that Everton would again receive a points deduction, even though in reality, in the first half of this season, Everton already received a deduction of 10 points . So yes, if for example Everton gets another point deduction then yes, of course it will be increasingly difficult for Everton to stay away from the relegation zone. But anyway, basically this season Everton has a better performance compared to last season so yes, even though at this moment Everton situation is not completely good but at least Everton still has a chance to avoid the relegation zone, because Everton still has a good performance in this moment.
