Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Jegileman]

That is what made the English Premier League special. In the Premier League, big clubs are not certain of three points until they have played their match and won. I believe Arsenal will find their form back and contest for the Premier League title against Liverpool and Manchester City.

They still have time to improve in their performance if they really want to compete for the league title with others. Just like last season, Arsenal are beginning to make people lose faith in them that they’re going to win the league title this season. The premier league is a very competitive league and no team dares to relent in the process, anyone that does that don’t often catch up again after that. Arsenal are still eligible to be contenders of this year’s league title but they have to show it now and repair their game better than what they’re currently playing. I am sure their fans are waiting for a turn over from them, I hope they can deliver that soon and get back to their winning ways.

If Man City are found guilty of the FFP charges, They'd be relegated from the Premier league. That's a big iff though, since it's Man City, they will lawyer up and just throw more money at the problem.

Of course it is true, Manchester City will receive severe punishment if they are proven to have violated the rules. However, to this day, they have not been found guilty even though there are more than a hundred accusations that have been filed. Other rivals including Liverpool and Arsenal would certainly love for Manchester City to get punished, but so far there have been too many rumors to be believed.

I hope Manchester City is truly able to defend itself against all these accusations and win the trial. This is what all their fans hope for, especially because this season Manchester City has a big chance of defending its title for the fourth time in a row.

I for one will like to see what the outcome of these charges will turn because I think most of these things are just formality and nothing actually is usually done towards any team being penalized even though the evidence points out very clearly that the team have violated the terms and laws. The only one team that was punish due to such I think fc Barcelona when they breach under age signing law and even at the punishment was still lenient on them.

At the moment it is known that he has a hamstring injury and if it is just a bruise/sprain, then he will miss the last game of the group stage and then return to action again. If this is a tissue rupture, then the consequences will be much more serious and he will miss more games (including in Liverpool). I would like to see how Klopp reacted to this news when he was told - it was probably something emotional, like how he behaves during games 

Klopp said he had contacted Salah and he felt from the injury but the diagnosis has not yet been made whether there is a tissue rupture or a slight bruise like this is still being followed up by the medical team.

Maybe Klopp will be a little nervous to hear this news because Salah is one of Liverpool's key players in producing goals if he is absent for so long then it is a loss for Liverpool there is no wing stick pillar as great as Salah so that is what is worried about.

Now there are too many rumors that he will be out longer, currently there is no clear confirmation but the injury is definitely Salah's now.

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.

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.

Arsenal's quality of play is indeed better than Crystal Palace. That is a fact. but what I equate here is the performance condition of the two teams in the last few matches. the situation in both teams is experiencing problems with declining performance. This match could be a good moment for Arsenal to recover. Arsenal needs to win if they don't want to be overthrown by Tottenham. we'll see what the results will be. this might not be easy for Arsenal.

Arsenal must use all available methods to win their match against Crystal Palace. They don't have to lose or draw their match against Crystal Palace because it will not be a wise move.
Since Arsenal's goal is to win the Premier League trophy this season, any negative outcomes in other of their matches will not be helpful for them. Nevertheless Let's see, what tomorrow's match holds in store for the Arsenal squad against Crystal Palace. 
Will they be able to secure the three points and move in the same match points(40) with Manchester City and Aston Villa in the Premier League standings

Despite knowing that Arsenal has drop form, I can't still say that Crystal Palace can get their way out of the game. With this their current form, Arsenal is still doing better than Crystal Palace on the pitch. For anyone who is always watching Arsenal games, they will know that Arsenal is still not that bad, even in their recent game that they lost to West Ham and Fulham. Arsenal was not just lucky in scoring recently; they always created good chances, but creating those chances to goals now is their big problem.
 
With those defeats that Arsenal has encountered recently, I believe Arteta will try to do anything possible to win the game. The match against Crystal Palace will be tough, and that is how the game has always been, but I have some belief that Arsenal will win the game.

If Mohamed Salah's injury is serious, it wouldn't be good for Liverpool. Losing their best players in a mid-season African Cup will end their leadership joy. Hamstring injuries can be serious.
The moment Liverpool make a mistake, Manchester City take the lead and never let it go. From then on, the balance in the Premier League will not change easily. City had given other teams enough advances. Liverpool and Arsenal couldn't use this well. They needed to collect more points. City with De Bruyne won't lose points easily anymore.

At the moment it is known that he has a hamstring injury and if it is just a bruise/sprain, then he will miss the last game of the group stage and then return to action again. If this is a tissue rupture, then the consequences will be much more serious and he will miss more games (including in Liverpool). I would like to see how Klopp reacted to this news when he was told - it was probably something emotional, like how he behaves during games 

Liverpool is still very strong even without Salah I would say seeing their recent form but of course it will be a big problem for Liverpool as he is a great player and his missing in some games will most likely be an impact.I don't think though that Liverpool will start losing games or losing points just because they will be missing a good player,their strength is the team spirit which during this year is what is prevailing and is giving them the top of the standings and I doubt this will change anytime soon,I firmly believe they will continue with a good form and win games again and they will still be the top contenders to win the title this year,I don't see any really strong opponent to counter them.

In my personal view, it looks like there is no longer a good chance for Arsenal to be able to compete in the race for the Premier League title. Because after all, the reality is that Arsenal are still always difficult to maintain consistency from season to season . Therefore, if Arsenal previously managed in the top the standings and then experienced a decline in position. Then yes, at a moment like at least Arsenal only try to maintain their position in the top four but not for the title race. But regarding Arsenal v Crystal Palace match tomorrow, of course Arsenal will still have a good chance to win and if Arsenal win, Arsenal will also only move up one position to 3rd.

With the return of Kevin de Bruyne and Haaland I think Arsenal will find it difficult to win the EPL title. I think Arsenal is still having difficulty appearing consistently in every match, especially since they don't have as good a squad depth as City. I think they will only be able to finish in the top 4 and get a Champions League ticket next season.
Salah's injury will greatly affect Liverpool's performance in the future. I think Liverpool's next few games will be difficult because Salah is their best player at the moment. I think Salah has created almost half of Liverpool's chances this season with his goals, assists and creativity on the field.

On paper, Arsenal chances of getting full points are very high, Arteta fleet has all the attributes needed to win the match, especially since the match against Crystal Palace will be held at the Emirates. It must be admitted that Arsenal in the last five matches in the EPL have only been able to achieve one win, their performance does not really reflect a title challenger, and is even in serious danger of being overtaken by Tottenham. The match against Crystal Palace will certainly not be easy, starting to return to consistency and reduce the points gap with Liverpool, Aston Villa and Man City who are above them. Arteta certainly understands the importance of the extra 3 points, and I think they will be able to do it.

Crystal Palace is currently ranked 14th in the standings, their statistics in their last five matches are the same as the Gunners, I think with a performance like that it is difficult for Crystal Palace to steal points at the Emirates. I think Crystal Palace ambition to break into the top 10 of the standings will be delayed by Arsenal, and as I said at the beginning their chances of winning the match are very low. That doesn't mean ruling out the possibility of a surprise they could create, looking at the facts and statistics, betting on Arsenal winning, in my opinion, would be safer.

In H2H terms, in five meetings between Arsenal versus Crystal Palace, the Gunners achieved 3 wins, one draw and one defeat. On the other hand, both clubs do not have a complete squad, because there are injured players and some have been called up to strengthen their respective national teams. It looks like Arteta will still field his best lineup, to reduce the risk of losing points, because if that happens again then their chances of competing for the trophy will be very low.

I would like to see how Klopp reacted to this news when he was told - it was probably something emotional, like how he behaves during games 

I believe it was only a precautionary step to avoid a hamstring injury; he walked out of the pitch by himself, so I don't think it was serious, and if it was, he wouldn't be hopping and moving from angle to angle motivating his teammates the way he did yesterday with such enthusiasm. The last game is important he might risk it.

Klopp must have called him since yesterday, pleading with him to take the risk and skip the final group game. They have a league to chase and would prefer not to lose Salah to a long-term injury. 

Despite knowing that Arsenal has drop form, I can't still say that Crystal Palace can get their way out of the game. With this their current form, Arsenal is still doing better than Crystal Palace on the pitch. For anyone who is always watching Arsenal games, they will know that Arsenal is still not that bad, even in their recent game that they lost to West Ham and Fulham. Arsenal was not just lucky in scoring recently; they always created good chances, but creating those chances to goals now is their big problem.

If they continue to rely on Saka and do not sign a proper striker this month, they will create several chances without scoring any.

For the sake of your prediction this week, take noted of the two ongoing international competitions and how they may affect the clubs whose players have gone for international duties. I saw this article that gave me detail run down of the players and their respective clubs and I felt I should shared it for those who might find it important.

Personally, I will be careful with clubs like Liverpool that have their hitman, Mo Salah engaged in international duties. Seems Machester City is the only top team that has no player in those competitions.  

I think this will affect clubs a little because the international break will cause several club to lose core players, so it will have an impact on the matches that certain clubs will play. Man City will be quite fortunate because no players will leave to defend their country so their strength will be complete without losing a single important player. Especially if you look at Liverpool, which currently needs full strength to be able to maintain the top of the standings.

Losing Mo Salah will definitely have an effect on Liverpool but I am sure Jurgen Klopp has options for this. Mo Salah's presence can affect Liverpool's game and maybe losing him could have a bad effect. Liverpool must win in the next match if they don't want Man City to shift their position at the top of the standings.

Now there are too many rumors that he will be out longer, currently there is no clear confirmation but the injury is definitely Salah's now.

I remember that last season Klopp complained more than anyone (and he started it before anyone) about the busy calendar due to the World Cup and the fact that the players could not withstand such a load (more susceptible to injury), now after Salah’s injury and his potential retirement long term Klopp will probably become a hater of national team games  
It is noteworthy that in 6 years in Liverpool, Salah missed only 10 games due to injuries. This stability is impressive. Will he be able to maintain the same level now that he is already 30+

You made a very good point there, because the players will be out for some time and that could affects the performance of those clubs, Liverpool key player is off and he was featured in the yesterday for his home country, this is one among several other clubs whose players are out on their international duties.

Double taxing them will really effects the players overall performance in the first place so for that we have to be very careful when selecting those clubs when we want to make some football games predictions and betting.

If Man City are found guilty of the FFP charges, They'd be relegated from the Premier league. That's a big iff though, since it's Man City, they will lawyer up and just throw more money at the problem.

I hope Manchester City is truly able to defend itself against all these accusations and win the trial. This is what all their fans hope for, especially because this season Manchester City has a big chance of defending its title for the fourth time in a row.

It is still difficult to investigate cases one by one especially with 115 allegations of charges it will take a long time while Manchester City will certainly defend against these charges this will be a complicated matter and maybe the next few seasons will know the results.

Manchester City do not care about money for their lawyers who pay anything.

Of course that's what Manchester City will defend, with so many charges it's not easy, but I hope it will be fine, just imagine if Manchester City relegated many players will leave this team because they don't want to play in the second division.

I've read they'll be relegated and stripped off some of the trophies and medals they have. Asides that, they'll also be relegated to the Championships if they're found to have violated all of this claims against them.

If clubs like Everton and Forest wouldn't be spared, a club like Manchester City too would definitely feel the repercussions of whatever illegals they have done.
For now, they're hot favorites to win both the Premier League and the Champions League Competition both included. For those predicting Arsenal to lose, they'll win. That's not a game for them to give out points.

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

With just under half the games left to play this season, I think the next few matches will make it clear how serious Arsenal are, let's look at their consistency. But don't forget about Liverpool too, they are very strong now and will fight for sure, since they managed to secure the first place even in the middle of the season

Arteta doesn't want to learn from the past, last season they had a good start but in the end many players were injured so they were overtaken by Man City and this season Arsenal looks like they will repeat the same thing but not because their players are injured. but because they don't buy players. so they don't have enough players, let alone goal-hungry strikers. Arsenal played well but still had difficulty scoring goals so it would not be surprising if they dropped to fourth place in the standings in the middle of the season. From the start of the season until the Premier League started this season, I was actually not sure that the Arsenal squad could win the EPL.

This month there has also been no movement from Arsenal to buy players. I suspect it's not that Arsenal doesn't want to buy players, it's just that they love the money plus the danger of being subject to FFP sanctions. So I am pessimistic that this season Arsenal can become EPL league competitors because they cannot be consistent with the current squad.

To be honest I haven't even heard the usual transfer rumours regarding Arsenal that are usually in the media, so I'm not surprised they haven't bought anyone this window. To be honest I didn't expect them to fight for the championship from the start and then we saw that this season is not like the others and after that I can't be confident in any team at all

Confidence is the flying slogan for EPL elite team, they're not holding ground for poor results. Mikel Arteta knows how to fight, he doesn't relent in his actions because he's keen on getting the best performance and stats for Arsenal. Who's on the rader for Arsenal to sign this summer? I see nothing wrong the present Gunners because they've shown to become promising and at the same time, they're relenting in performance more especially in matches against mediocre teams that would have aides them to become tougher than their usual position.

Of course that's what Manchester City will defend, with so many charges it's not easy, but I hope it will be fine, just imagine if Manchester City relegated many players will leave this team because they don't want to play in the second division.

I don’t think it is a case of time but I feel like many of these top clubs actually get preferential treatment when it comes to cases like this if not when FA was actually sitting for the cases of other clubs like Everton they should have settled that of Manchester City own too but every time we see Manchester city getting an adjournment which isn’t fair, even if the counts are much at least treat each one and hand over each punishments so that other little clubs do not feel oppressed.

The charges against city aren’t just relegation punishable offenses only bug it will lead to them been stripped off the title of ten years they warn in which they broke its rules. Seriously this is a huge blow coming for city but with the number and qualified legal experts they have hired they will certainly get a reduced punishment that might not concerns getting ripped of there tittle

To be honest I didn't expect them to fight for the championship from the start and then we saw that this season is not like the others and after that I can't be confident in any team at all

Arsenal aren’t looking for any other recruitment this transfer window aside that a striker and there primary target is Ivan Tooney which Brentford have valued at around $100M. Arsenal just came out of a transfer window in which they spend hundreds of millions and it will be risky spending such amount again this window. Also Brentford are looking not to sell Ivan Tooney this window so it also contributed to the quietness of Arsenal in this transfer

However, Arteta actually has to understand that his team still lacks many players, especially the front line. He must learn from last season if he wants to fight to win the EPL league. I see Arsenal's current shortcomings because they don't have sharp and deadly attackers in front of the opponent's goal. If they don't bring in players this month, I don't think they will re-enter the EPL league, maybe they can only stay in the top four until the end of the season.

I hope Arteta takes advantage of the loan opportunity for Benzema who currently wants to move from Al Ittihad, because this is the most realistic, Benzema's loan will build the mentality of other players too and the opportunity in the UCL also makes more sense.

Before now arsenal have really spent enough money to sign young players in the the team, and will not make sense to spend huge amount of money again it will be of total waste for the club. The mistake Arteta made is signing so many young players in the club thinking that it will strengthen the team. Arsenal would have gone for experienced players too just like the kind of players Manchester City and Liverpool has. Having good,  experienced players and talented one would have help the team alot .

But right now what arsenal just need is to go for a talented striker that will help the team to perform well, arsenal without a good striker I don't think they will be ending the season well.

It will be difficult to predict which teams will go into the  relegation zone. Because there  is still a long journey  ahead. Each team will  play about 18 more matches. So Burnley and Luton Town have the ability to get out of  the relegation zone if the performance  is somewhat stable. But it cannot be said with certainty whether it will stabilize the performance of the teams.

However, the performance of the Everton team is quite good this season. Despite losing 10 points, they are still out of the relegation zone. And I think at the end of the season we will see this team maybe 12th/13th. But I am not satisfied with Sheffield United's performance. It will be very difficult for this team to get out of the relegation zone. Because their defense is too weak.

Obviously nothing can be said with certainty or otherwise we wouldn't have to wait until the end of the season. But I think that at the very bottom of the table we won't get to see too many surprises. I think that Sheffield, Burnley and Luton Town will win a few more games, but not many, but none of them won't be able to have a winning streak of maybe three or more games won in a row. If that were to happen, then we might see some significant changes at the bottom, but I doubt it.
