Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Ahli38]

Maybe Arsenal is experiencing conditions similar to last season. Even this season I think it's worse. Because last season we saw Arsenal still ranked at the top in the middle of the season. And dropped to 2nd place at the end of the season. Arteta seems to have to rebuild the squad. More thorough preparations must be made for next season. But this season there is something different, namely Arsenal will fight in the last 16 of the UCL. So Arsenal's goals may be much bigger this season. But with the current conditions, it is natural that doubts are starting to creep in among all Arsenal fans.

against Crystal Palace shouldn't be a big deal. But maybe Arsenal will find it difficult to score many goals. Arsenal will probably win but with a narrow score.

But don't forget that this season Crystal Palace has managed to beat Manchester United at the start of this season. And also managed to hold Manchester City to a draw. But today Crystal Palace also suffered defeat by Everton in the FA Cup. So I think it is difficult for us to predict Crystal Palace's performance. In terms of defense quality, Crystal Palace is actually also quite good. Now it's just a matter of how Arsenal can penetrate the Crystal Palace defense and score a goal. Because the problem that Arsenal currently has is actually their poor finishing in attack. But in other respects Arsenal is still very superior compared to Crystal Palace. So I also feel that Arsenal will win. But I also feel that a draw could also occur in this match.

Because we also have to consider the condition of Arsenal, who even lost to Fullham and West Ham. In fact, this match should have belonged to Arsenal. But they failed and instead lost. But West Ham and Fullham are of course at a higher level than Crystal Palace.

[hahay]

I just see Arsenal repeating same thing they did in the premier league last season, just take a look at how Arsenal started very well this season just to reach this stage and starts losing points. Well, it's obvious that Arsenal may not really be strong enough to stand as title contenders this season so their match against Crystal palace may not be certain to whether they can defeat them regardless of the fact that they are playing in their home ground after all, they lost against Westham in Emirate stadium so it wouldn't be a surprise if Crystal palace also do the same.

Although in the previous two matches in the Premier League match Arsenal got defeated but ya, at least for the next match against Crystal Palace I think Arsenal still have a good chance of winning . Indeed, doubts will remain because after all Arsenal also lost against Fulham and of course, with that defeat will make Arsenal a little doubtful but not completely . Therefore, although it will still be difficult to beat Crystal Palace in the match later, but I am still confident to still choose Arsenal to win in the next match in the Premier League against Crystal Palace.

Yes, I will still favor Arsenal whatever happens. Because I know that Arsenal, who are the hosts in this match, will definitely make the visiting team lose. Arteta will also definitely do something to not repeat the mistakes they made when facing West Ham, Fullham and Liverpool.

Due to the depth of the squad and the history of meetings, Arsenal is actually always far superior to Crystal Palace. So I have to throw away my doubts for this fight. I had doubts but now I am starting to believe in Arsenal again after seeing their head to head with Crystal Palace.

One of the major problem of Arsenal is lack of depth which has been the same problem of last season, though they did sign two players, Havertz and injured Timber of course those signings  hasn't made the squad more formidable and again it's obvious the team lack a competent striker and Arteta hasn't address that problem take a look at most the matches they lost they dominated and took most of the possessions yet couldn't register or score goals, the team is the architect of their own fortune if the management is ready to win the league they should do the needful by signing top striker, with their next match against crystal palace as it's going to be a tough match because now Arsenal is unpredictable.

I agree with your point; it's a genuine concern. Arsenal is facing sustainability issues without a clinical finisher in the striker position. This teams are not overly concerned about their striker, allowing them to focus on neutralizing their wingers. This lack of threat leads to visible signs of frustration and a gradual loss of form and confidence. There's a growing worry about Arsenal's potential to finish outside the top 4. To win the league or remain competitive, they need to pose a significant threat that makes opponents respect and fear them. Arsenal's upcoming match against Crystal Palace is a cause for concern.

[tusandii]

Don't worry, I'm sure Arsenal will win. They've suffered lose streaks, so all the players must be motivated to win especially Crystal Palace is just a mediocre club. Crystal Palace just lost against Everton yesterday, so they should be lack of stamina.

I also think Arsenal should be able to win their match against Crystal Palace. I know the match might not be an easy one for Arsenal, Crystal Palace will want to win the match, and if they can’t win, they will want to go away with at least 1 point in the match. I haven’t really been impressed by Arsenal's performance in their last few matches, they haven’t been able to secure any wins in their last 3 matches. I am just surprised that Arsenal lost to both Fulham and West Ham. Most clubs now understand Arsenal's playing pattern, they play defensive games, and at any opportunity they have, they end up playing a counterattack. I am sure Crystal Palace will want to do a similar thing, so Arsenal have to be very careful in the match.
 
Crystal Palace lost to Everton in their match yesterday, but you should know that it's the FA Cup, and most clubs are not always serious about it. Don’t be surprised if their playing pattern changes when playing against Arsenal.

Arsenal's chances of winning are not as usual and the chances are also not that big. With its current performance, it is clear that most people will start to doubt its performance and quite a few teams at the top hope that Arsenal will continue to get less than optimal results. Mikel Arteta certainly wants to end this series of bad results immediately and maybe through the match against Crystal Palace they will try.

The same pattern of play could be adapted by other teams to stop Arsenal and perhaps Crystal Palace must have seen footage of Arsenal's previous defeats so they can do the same thing later. The EPL and FA Cup are very different and here the EPL is clearly the main focus for all teams so that they can still start the same competition in a very competitive league.

Actually, Arsenal's performance is not that bad and I never judge that Arsenal has no hope, it's just that this club has often experienced consistent losses lately, even though I sometimes doubt it, I still see who Arsenal will be against and for me Crystal Palace is not an opponent. which is too strong and this time I believe Arteta will break the bad things that happened in the previous match because if it doesn't get better soon I'm sure Tottenham will soon take over his position because currently I see Tottenham seem to be slowly getting better.
Just predicting the result of the match for Arsenal will end 2-0.

[JariKriting]

Arsenal have won just 1 game out of their last 5 games played and things are going to look bad for Arsenal if they are not able to gain points soon to maintain as one of the top 4 teams on the table. Crystal Palace will not be an easy team to beat with Roy Hodgson leading them but I think since Arsenal will have the privilege to play this upcoming match at their home stadium, Arsenal should stand a high chance to earn 3 points from the hands of Crystal Palace at the final whistle.

Don't worry, I'm sure Arsenal will win. They've suffered lose streaks, so all the players must be motivated to win especially Crystal Palace is just a mediocre club. Crystal Palace just lost against Everton yesterday, so they should be lack of stamina.

Even though Arsenal's performance is declining, but Crystal Palace is worse than Arsenal. Unfortunately the match is not worth to bet, the odds is too low and it's full of uncertainty.

If to win again in the next match is very easy. what's more the next opponent is a weak team Crystal Palace and Arsenal also play at home in front of their supporters, it's clearly easy. but to become a champion after losing many points in the previous match will be difficult. what's more is currently 5 points behind the leader of the standings Liverpool.

[Ruttoshi]

I just see Arsenal repeating same thing they did in the premier league last season, just take a look at how Arsenal started very well this season just to reach this stage and starts losing points.

Arsenal were actually better last season than they are this season. They lost so much form this season and I believe it's due to fatigue. A top club needs squad depth to remain at the top and a very good rotation. Last season, Arsenal were still in form at this point of the season. They got bad after a couple of injuries and fatigue.

So, did you mean arsenal was the only club who was getting fatigue? Did you think other club was not getting the same thing like arsenal as well? this is so strange to see that you said like that caused by all of teams were working so hard to win any competitions.
It sounds non sense to use fatigue as an excuse to justify the lost streak faced by arsenal. Just make it clear if arsenal was playing so badly due to the its horrific performance. It will be far easy to explain what is happening with arsenal.

Fatigue is a very big problem that prevents high-flying teams. This usually affects teams that press very much in matches. It affected Liverpool too after they won the EPL.
Arsenal will make the top 4 but they won't be among title contenders.

So, what about the club like manchester city and liverpool? Are you joking with your statement? all of top teams have busy schedules and using fatigue as an excuse is a non sense thing.

Fatigue should be the excuse on for the decline in their performance. Any club that is not up to the task of winning the trophy, does not deserve it because we have other clubs that are in the same competitions that Arsenal is in,and they are doing good. The fact remains that Arsenal cannot be consistent in their matches till the end. They use to have this weak spirit of fighting till the end, and the easily give up when the competition is tight.

If you talk about injury, I can understand that because it is injury that I think can hit a club hard, to make them decline in performance. Arteta should have learnt his lesson from last year, that he should have brought new and strong players that can replace other players when they have dropped form. Arsenal is always on the race but they give up on it at the middle. Lack will take this as lack of proper plan and focus.

[Awaklara]

Just predicting the result of the match for Arsenal will end 2-0.

if Arsenal is not in good form, I'm afraid Crystal Palace can match their game. like when Crystal Palace held Brighton and Man City to a draw.
Crystal Palace's current performance is almost the same as Arsenal. they are not consistent in every match. even today they also lost to Everton.
Regarding the next match, of course, Arsenal will be the favorite to win. Arteta's squad is certainly stronger even though they have faced several problems in several matches.
don't expect much from Crystal Palace, but hopefully, the match will be interesting.

[iBaba]

And dropped to 2nd place at the end of the season. Arteta seems to have to rebuild the squad. More thorough preparations must be made for next season.

against Crystal Palace shouldn't be a big deal. But maybe Arsenal will find it difficult to score many goals. Arsenal will probably win but with a narrow score.

Everything seems to be like a big deal to Arsenal right now because both at the FA Cup and the Premier league, they have not really performed up to par. The last four previous matches were not pleasing at all for the club as they failed to win their matches against Liverpool, which was a draw in the Premier leaague, they also failed to win against West Ham with a 0 - 2 lost to West Ham in the Premier league, another failure to win against Fulham with a 2 over 1 in the Premier league, with the fourth failure against Liverpool again in the FA Cup to 0 - 2.

What hope do you have over them winning Crystal Palace this time around? Besides in their last fixturings they have not impressively won over Crystal Palace too. They have been draws and lost to Crystal Palace in between their last 5 fixtures.

Now Arsenal have dropped down to the 4th position in the table standing with 40 points and 5 point difference between the table leads who are the Liverpool. I'm not happy with this result at all as the late crippling misperformance of the Arsenal. Could it be that the squad is weak and can't perform up to the ranks.

I can't say Palace are the same with Arsenal in terms of performance, you should use their position on the log to judge that. Arsenal major problem is to convert chances they have got but talking about the Crystal Palace side is just something we really can't explain.
Palace don't have any target, win today lose tomorrow draw and lose till they wake up to get a win, the Palace side can't be anything close to the Gunners. They lost to Everton who have been in a very bad shape and they can still lose to Arsenal only if the Gunners play more of the attacking football than staying back and defend which they know they're not good at it.
But I feel is going to be an easy win against Palace this time around, I just hope Arsenal do get a better striker before the transfer market closes.

[rendravolt]

The three promoted teams this season Luton, Burnley and Sheffield are all in the relegation zone and I don't think they are all capable of competing in the EPL. I had hoped that one of them would immediately crawl to the middle or top position and at least provide a different color this season but it seems my expectations were too high. Burnley is a team to really watch out for because with coach Vincent Kompany they recorded impressive achievements previously in the Championship division and also became champions.

But when they realized they were in a place where hell existed and the EPL was not just any place they could conquer. I wonder if these three teams will return to the Championship next season and if that happens it is clear that what they are doing is in vain to be at their current level.

Don't forget they were the best three Championship' teams in the last season, if the best is still not able to compete against the Premier League' teams, I think there won't be any Championship can survive in Premier League.

They can only feel how the pressure when they playing in Premier League, sadly they will back to their path sooner or later.

And because of that they will all go home sooner than they can survive for next season. I quite regret why they continue to decline like this and perhaps their existing readiness also influences the less than optimal results they get. This winter I also don't really see any transfer activity from Burnley, Luton and Sheffield so if they still use the same line-up then the results will remain the same.

The coaches of each team have certainly tried their best, but again the quality of their players is far below that of mediocre teams to other elite EPL teams. Maybe if they still have the motivation to survive then this half season will be something worthwhile and at least not being relegated could make them more enthusiastic for next season. That is my hope and do not accept the current situation.

The chance is big for arsenal to win the game against palace. Palace was not in a good shape after it was declining to the bottom. I think that we will be seeing that arsenal to struggle against palace. Arsenal has been buying some expensive players but that's not enough.
Arteta needs to do something to save arsenal from going down to the middle place. It has no big gap toward liverpool but arsenal will be thrown away from the title race if it keeps to perform shit like that.

Arteta has an idea to take benzema from ittihad which is good. Having an experienced player is far better rather than having some inexperienced players. The strikers of arsenal are obviously useless strikers.
Arsenal needs to get someone like benzema to support the team. This is the best decision that can be taken by the club.

[Stable090]

Maybe Arsenal is experiencing conditions similar to last season. Even this season I think it's worse. Because last season we saw Arsenal still ranked at the top in the middle of the season.

A lot of people predicted that what happened to Arsenal last season is going to repeat itself this season. I also have the same feeling, but I am just surprised that Arsenal performance has started reducing so early. There are still lots of matches to be played, and if their performance keeps on dropping, they will find it difficult to end the season in the top 4 this season. Arteta is really having lots of things to work on, and I am sure Arsenal is really in need of new strikers. Saka has not really been in form this season, his performance dropped drastically this season, which affected Arsenal's performance. Let’s see what Arsenal will be playing in their next match against Crystal Palace, they should be able to win the match, but it’s not going to be a easy win for them.

I'm not happy with this result at all as the late crippling misperformance of the Arsenal. Could it be that the squad is weak and can't perform up to the ranks.

But at least Arsenal has always managed to beat Crystal Palace in the last 3 meetings. Arsenal even scored 4 goals in the home match. But in away matches, Arsenal couldn't score many goals. they only won with a narrow score of 0-1. But there is a reason why Arsenal could only score 1 goal in the last match against Crystal Palace. At that time Arsenal only played with 10 players from the 67th minute. So it was natural that Arsenal only won narrowly at that time.

This time Arsenal also experienced some bad matches. But statistically we can see that there is an improvement in the Arsenal vs Liverpool match in the FA Cup. At that time Arsenal had more opportunities and almost broke into Liverpool's goal several times. It's just that Liverpool's defense is much stronger. And Arsenal also have problems in finishing. But for the match against Crystal Palace, I think Arsenal will succeed in converting some of their attacks into goals.

Moreover, this is a home match. Ranked 4th vs ranked 14th, I think it's natural that Arsenal is the favourite. Even though it is experiencing setbacks. Crystal Palace even just lost to Everton. This adds to my confidence in Arsenal.

[Alpha Marine]

So, what about the club like manchester city and liverpool? Are you joking with your statement? all of top teams have busy schedules and using fatigue as an excuse is a non sense thing.

Manchester City have a manager that knows how to rotate his squad. Secondly, Manchester City have always had a big squad. They know how to give their players rest. Thirdly, since Manchester City have more quality squad depth than Arsenal, they can afford to rest some of their key players in a match and still be able to win that match.
De Bruyne was injured and they still managed. Rodri is injured and they're still good. That's because they have players that can fill the shoes of these players to an extent.

Speaking about Liverpool. They won the Champions League and won the EPL the next year and what has happened to them since? The best they've finished is second in the league. They even went to the Europa last season. See how poor they were due to injuries? What do you think happened after those two high-flying seasons?
The kind of football Liverpool play requires a lot of rotation because they're always pressing and running so players are vulnerable.

Don't underestimate fatigue. Not every player can play 50 matches a season and still play another 50 matches the next season while having a very short break. A break where they might be representing their national teams during that time.
These players train twice almost every day and play twice almost every week so if they're not well rotated they can either get injured or get fatigued.

[Docnaster]

It seems that Arsenal will win easily, there is an advantage for Arsenal because they will be playing at home, because in the last two matches Arsenal lost, of course in the next match they will play optimally to get full points, if Arsenal loses three times in a row it will be difficult. to catch up with Man City and Liverpool, only five points behind leaders Liverpool. If Arsenal wants to improve on the points they lost in their last 5 matches, then Arsenal must focus on improving in each of their lines from the shortcomings in the last few weeks.

Arsenal still have a chance but it may only be a maximum of finishing in the top 3, a slight decrease from last season. Because being a competitor to Liverpool and Man City is quite difficult, in fact I think Arteta feels quite frustrated with the results in the last few matches. I really hope Arsenal can lift the EPL trophy but the fact is that English  giants like Man City and Liverpool will not let that happen. Like it or not Arsenal always have to experience a painful end to the season, and it doesn't happen just once or twice. I don't know what factors are the big obstacles for Arsenal in achieving it but for Arteta if he continues to gain confidence in 1 or 2 more seasons it could be possible.

On Saturday, Arsenal host Crystal Palace in the English Premier League and a win in that game will draw them level with third placed Aston Villa and second placed Manchester City who currently have have played the same number of games with Arsenal. They're currently five points behind league leaders Liverpool having played the same number of games and that means that mathematically, Arsenal are still very much in contention for the English Premier League title this season.

But personally, I don't consider Arsenal as a major title contender for the league title this season and that's because of their inconsistent results and performances. I'll be happy if they prove me wrong by winning the league title at the end of the season but that I think will be a very difficult one for Mikel Arteta's men

[fuguebtc]

Maybe Arsenal is experiencing conditions similar to last season. Even this season I think it's worse. Because last season we saw Arsenal still ranked at the top in the middle of the season. And dropped to 2nd place at the end of the season. Arteta seems to have to rebuild the squad. More thorough preparations must be made for next season. But this season there is something different, namely Arsenal will fight in the last 16 of the UCL. So Arsenal's goals may be much bigger this season. But with the current conditions, it is natural that doubts are starting to creep in among all Arsenal fans.

What hope do you have over them winning Crystal Palace this time around? Besides in their last fixturings they have not impressively won over Crystal Palace too. They have been draws and lost to Crystal Palace in between their last 5 fixtures.

Now Arsenal have dropped down to the 4th position in the table standing with 40 points and 5 point difference between the table leads who are the Liverpool. I'm not happy with this result at all as the late crippling misperformance of the Arsenal. Could it be that the squad is weak and can't perform up to the ranks.

Actualy Arsenal has not been performing well in recent times. You know they have not been able to get a single win in the last three matches, another thing is they have only one win in the last five matches. That is definitely not ideal for Arsenal. But the thing is they will be playing against Crystal Palace in the next match. And I think arsenal should be able to win the match easily. Because you know Crystal Palace has not been able to perform consistently in this season.

Even though Crystal Palace has been able to win the last match, they have only one win in the last five and the last match is the only win that they got in that time period.  So I believe arsenal should have this. They should get three points from this match.

[SmartCharpa]

I just see Arsenal repeating same thing they did in the premier league last season, just take a look at how Arsenal started very well this season just to reach this stage and starts losing points. Well, it's obvious that Arsenal may not really be strong enough to stand as title contenders this season so their match against Crystal palace may not be certain to whether they can defeat them regardless of the fact that they are playing in their home ground after all, they lost against Westham in Emirate stadium so it wouldn't be a surprise if Crystal palace also do the same.

I think is too early to predict Arsenal final position in the Premier League. Last season, Arsenal performed very well, even lead the league, but they finished the season to end up in second position. That's how they lost their chance to winning the Premier league title. Arsenal has stronger players than last season, yet they are still losing their matches. As Arsenal perform well from the beginning of the season, I thought that is how their performance should be throughout the season. However, Arsenal fail to maintain their position at the top. If Arteta continues to improve his team, I believe Arsenal still has a chance to move to the top.

Since Arsenal lost to West Ham and Fulham, which they have strong players capable of defeating any club in the Premier League, it's still difficult to predict the outcome of their upcoming match against Crystal Palace. Still, Im believing that Arsenal are going to win, because we can't always anticipate bad outcomes from them.

Arsenal started this season in excellent form, but now we can say that Arteta is again facing a decline in results. Perhaps Arteta adheres to some kind of training strategy that he considers optimal, and considers these seasonal declines to be some kind of coincidence of unsuccessful games. There is still a difference with last season, since last time the decline was at the end of the season, and this time it happened in the middle. So far they are 5 points behind Liverpool, this is not critical, but winning back this difference will not be easy.

The same pattern is always repeating again and again. No doubt people named this club as a clown club. It was always running out of its fuel at the end of season. People are also feeling so tired of watching this club caused by they never meet what they have expected.
Im concerning about how arteta was not even building the mentality from the players. It seems he was not even caring about that. Arsenal was always performing very well at the early of season but it's always bottling its performance at the end of season.

Even thought the gap was not so big but it is quite difficult to surpass the club that was always performing very consistently. This must be noted that if arsenal was losing against manchester city small gap last season.
The same thing is going to repeat soon. Im not even doubting it to happen caused by i do believe arsenal will be performing so badly till the end of season.

I think they most importantly need to win the games they will play against the other teams that are threatened to end their season in the relegation zone. Of course it is a nice to have if they can beat other teams from the upper half of the table, but the most important points are those against their competitors from the lower half of the table.

Within the last 7 games of the season their opponents are Burnley, Nottingham, Brentford, Luton Town and Sheffield. That's when the season will be most important for Everton.  

The team you mentioned also has the desire to win the match and they also don't want to be in the relegation zone so everyone will play for a win or at least a draw. Everton should be able to get out of the zone more easily, but their inconsistent performance means everything can change. Nottingham and Brentford are not easy to beat because they also have to win if they don't want to be in the relegation zone so they will try the same thing as Everton.

If can't win in all the remaining matches then a draw is enough, but it's also important to get several wins to avoid unforeseen possibilities. Being above one level in the relegation zone is not an easy thing because if they want to be safe they have to be in 14th or 15th position in the final standings.

None of the teams is easy to beat and that is why we have seen so many surprises so far. But if somebody asked me whether I think that the most important games for Everton are those against the teams from the upper half of the table or the games against the teams from the lower half of the table, my instant answer would be that they have to win the games against the teams from the lower half of the table of course. Everton can afford to lose against Manchester City and Liverpool, but they can't afford to lose against Luton Town, Brentford and co. Those games are absolutely critical and every single one of those games must be considered a final like in a cup.
