Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Spaceman1000$]

Today I saw this sad news:

Jürgen Klopp has announced his decision to step down as #LFC manager at the end of the season, having informed the club’s ownership of his wish to leave his position in the summer.

It's a decision that will greatly affect Liverpool next season, that is if Liverpool doesn't hire another good coach, but I honestly think it will be very difficult for Liverpool next season. Even if Liverpool hired another good coach, the issue is that on the market it is difficult to find a good coach like Jürgen Klopp who could have a long-term contract, something like 5 years without being fired before 5 years. Many current coaches have done very badly with their teams and completely destroyed their teams, causing teams to start changing coaches constantly. I'm wondering which coach the Livepool management will hire, I see Mourinho as being a good coach who is free, he is a coach who knows the premier league very well

In my opinion, Mourinho would be ideal to become Liverpool's next coach. I heard some rumor (I don't know if it has already been confirmed or not) that in June this year Milan, Napoli, Inter will have other coaches. If this is true, I hope that no coach who leaves these 3 teams becomes Livepool's next coach, because even though I like Inter's coach, who in my opinion is better than the current coach of Napoli and Milan, I still don't see It is a good option for Liverpool to hire a coach from Inter, Milan or Napoli. It would be very difficult to find a good coach. I hope lliverpool can hire a good coach.

Liverpool's next games will be very difficult games:

31st of this month:

liverpool - chelsea

liverpool will play at home, chelsea is slowly improving and will make this game much more difficult for liverpool who cannot lose points if they want to become champions.

February 4th:

Arsenal - Liverpool

it will be another very difficult game for livepool, in my opinion liverpool in this game needs to come out with a draw at least, if liverpool in these next two games manages to win and draw then they will be well on their way to becoming champions. But if Liverpool lose in these 2 games, then I think they could say goodbye to the title. because the city goes to fight first, then you won't come out on top until you are champions

For the last 5 to 6 years Jürgen klopp has been one of the brilliant coaches we've had in the English premier League, his move from Borussia Dortmund to Liverpool, was a move a lot of people didn't know that it was a dawn of a New era for Liverpool, from winning the champions League to being top competitors in the premier League and other leagues, jurgen klopp has built a solid squad with Liverpool over the years, it will be very difficult to fill the vacuum that will be created when he finally lives at the end of the season, because I know before he came Liverpool had a difficult time in finding a suitable coach that could create legacy for them, however Rafael benitez was one man that gave Liverpool some memorable moments that i will not forget in a hurry.

 Though I understand that for the past 2 to 3 years Liverpool have been having some level of difficulty and struggles in some competitions, but I believe that is a normal thing for every club, because most times there are ups and downs sometimes, so I believe for the present condition Liverpool has been facing is one of the major reasons that have resulted to this situation that has warranted for Jürgen klopp exit at the end of the season.

Klopp quits Liverpool at a time when Salah is injured. This is very strange as Mo Salah is a key player for Liverpool. And I suspect he has a very serious injury and will take a very long time to recover. Perhaps Klopp is leaving because of this and he realizes that without Salah, Liverpool cannot win the EPL.

Dude, Klopp still manages Liverpool until the end of the season. He doesn't leave now!!
It is not really surprising that he leaves Liverpool at the end of the season because his contract will be over. However, it is quite interesting that Liverpool management doesn't try to extend his contract. Or Klopp has no intention to extend his contract with Liverpool. I can understand that he probably wants to get a new challenge, he already managed Liverpool since Oct 8, 2015. He may be aware that he is already a long time with Liverpool. Now, he wants to get something different with a new club.

NO, it is not all about the injury of Mo Salah. Klopp is a smart and experienced coach, he doesn't rely on a single player only to win the match. Even if Mo Salah will get injury for a long time, I no doubt that Klopp still can win the EPL title with Liverpool.

Well chelsea has dominated the first half of the game with possession i think chelsea performance is quite impressing this first half,it would have been 1:0 in the first half of the game but co palmer missed the chance.

Matinez is doing absolutely well,if not for him I don't know what would have become of Aston Villa tonight,I think he deserved the man of the match,well it was also a huge opportunity for Aston Villa but tielemans missed it.
 let's see what will happen in the second half of the game

[el kaka22]

Why does he want to leave though? I mean the team is just about to get back to good again, is there like some other offer that is better for him? Or maybe it is the high amount of time that he has to spend away from his home, which really does hurt a lot of people in this job. Many people want to live a life that would be a bit more calm after a while. Klopp probably has his reasons, and I am sure that we are going to end up with something that would be a lot more reasonable when the time comes.

I think he will officially say why, but maybe he won't, we still have no idea why Zidane is not managing after getting three ucl in a row. All in all I think it is quite clear that we are going to be upset to see him go, no matter which teams fan you are.

FA Cup match

There are 4 matches currently underway, but two of them are particularly interesting. The Chelsea vs Aston Villa and Tottenham vs Manchester City matches are the two matches I mean, and these are really interesting to watch.

There have been no goals in these two matches even though Manchester City took a 1-goal lead from Oscar Bobb before the referee disallowed the goal for offside. Manchester City really dominated this match and they built a good attack, but unfortunately no goals were scored for almost half the first half. Pep Guardiola chose to reserve Jeremy Doko and De Bruyne for this match, but if his plans don't go well then both of them might get minutes.

Yeah those 2 matches seem like the matches for the weekend. They’re both by top clubs in the league and they’ve been even competition in both matches. Chelsea have a home advantage but they're playing against a very tough EPL team. However City are in a more tougher situation cause they're facing Tottenham away from home and that's why the game hasn't been easy for both side, and it's still barren draw.

 Both matches had disallowed goals and also had their missed chances. From the stat you can see that these 4 teams are all eager on qualifiying for the next round.Manchester City are better off but in this match, Tottenham are very composed defensively while Chelsea have had lots of chances but Vertern Martine who’s at goal post is always there to rescue Vill. Well let’s see how the match ends.

[Furious 7]

This is a big match

I agree; Liverpool vs Arsenal is a big game in English football and as we all know; in the big ties form or squad quality do not matter because it’s literally a tie with spoilers and surprises

With the title charge, I think Liverpool willl win this time around and dominate arsenal too
What do you think ?

h2h in the last 4 matches if you look at the matches they played actually balanced in my opinion because 1 win for Arsenal, 1 win for Liverpool and 2 draws are a sign that these two clubs are still a difficult situation to predict how the matches they will do later.

At the moment Arsenal's advantage of course lies in their home matches and Liverpool will still be missing Endo and Salah in the match which makes them still lose some of their attacks.

I think in this match the possibility of a draw is still very much felt but there could indeed be a surprise where all situations can always happen in 90 minutes later.

[Miles2006]

Or maybe it is the high amount of time that he has to spend away from his home, which really does hurt a lot of people in this job. Many people want to live a life that would be a bit more calm after a while. Klopp probably has his reasons, and I am sure that we are going to end up with something that would be a lot more reasonable when the time comes.

Does this mean Klopp has no reasonable speech to speak why he's leaving the team cause have checked everywhere including here thinking I will see the reason but no, this news has left Liverpool fans in shock and he should give reason why he wants to leave the team, now when everything is going as plan for the team, I believe Liverpool will definitely take a title in the season cause they're dominating in the premier league, Carabao Cup and with their performance each match day you'll know the team is progressing, with all this I'm surprised seeing klopp making this announcement, although he can't stay forever but he still can't leave now when the team needs him. Any reason he has to give should be sensible.

[Weawant]

I think Liverpool might have a similar problem because they would hardly get a quality manager as good as Jurgen Klopp in Europe.

I won't say they'd hardly get a quality manager because he's leaving Liverpool would be the end of the club and also, when Rafa Benitez coached the club and wanted to leave the same thing was said, but look at them. No matter how bad these teams perform without their managers, they hardly hit relegation waters so I feel they will survive without Jurgen, it's just that the management will be expecting much from the new coach that will be his replacement, expecting him to meet up or keep up the standard of Klopp.

It's normal for a coach or a player to leave a team at a time, it could be due to retirement or transfer for the players and maybe sack or retirement or even moving to another team for coach so either ways a coach or player will definitely leave a team some day and is not going to stay there forever no matter how good such players or coach are.

After the exit of certain players or coach, it's normal for some teams to have some challenges with their performance and form but it doesn't mean the team won't bounce back later or won't be able to survive the absence of such persons, it will only take time and before you know it they are back on their feet and such is the case of Liverpool the exit of klop and Salah isn't a death sentence on the team but they may only suffer some set back for awhile after which they will be fine.

Chelsea vs. Aston Villa ending with zero goals couldn't have been more boring than that...

That game was pretty bad and now I think Chelsea had a big chance to decide this matchup at home. I don't think they have a good chance to win it away from home in the repetition game as Aston Villa is much stronger at home than they are away from home.

Chelsea was the more active team but they still lack some important elements in their offensive game and that is why every time they can't create a lot of good attempts for themselves.

I just wondered what is actually going on with Nkunku?

This game will end in a draw,and I'm not surprised that almost all the matches in the FA cup are ending in a draw.I really missed my chances of winning today,because it was in my mind to give all the teams playing today a draw because almost all of the teams are strong teams.Aston Villa vs Chelsea is one match that I knew was going to end in a draw, knowing fuljy well that Chelsea are now picking form,they are now showing that they are a big team too,and at thesame time,Aston Villa have shown their capabilities this season,and cannot be underrated.If I had played a game today,there is every tendency that I would have won,but unfortunately,I didn't.

[nurilham]

Why is Pochettino not starting Broja in this game against Aston villa tonight, in the absence of Nicolas Jackson it was supposed to be an opportunity to consistently make Broja have a  playing time as to boost his confidence on pitch as a striker but what am seeing is a conversion of sterling into the striker position in tonight's game. What is Pochi up to tonight, Chelsea need goals to win this game and a true striker is what is needed to put fear in Villa's goal yard box and at least with palmer the pressure will be well felt.

It should be a part of the tactic, mate. I understand that Broja is a pure striker, he should be on the position left by Nicolas Jackson. But Pochettino prefers to put Cole Palmer on the position because he may think Cole Palmer is more productive in scoring goals. It is true that Broja needs to have enough time to play, FA cup is the right competition for him. However, it depends on the tactics made by Pochettino. Pochettino probably put Cole Palmer as a striker to make Aston Villa defenders to feel more fear because of his ability in scoring goals. Although Broja is a pure striker, Aston Villa defenders don't feel so worried because he rarely scored goals.

And I suspect he has a very serious injury and will take a very long time to recover. Perhaps Klopp is leaving because of this and he realizes that without Salah, Liverpool cannot win the EPL.

I don’t think that should be the reason he wants to leave the club now, he must have spelt out his reasons to the club before making this decision. If Salah is the only player he is dependent on that can make the whole team win the premier league, I must say he is a not a good manager for the team. A manager should know how to use his team players for every game at hand and not making one player feeling superior over the rest, having the feeling of him being the best and the team can’t make it without him. Salah will one day not be active as he his now even though Klopp is not leaving the club now, and at that time he won’t have any option left than to sign new players or use the existing players to build them to the standard he wants for the team. Klopp is not leaving because of Salah’s injury and I haven’t seen in any news that it is going to be a long injury for him.

In the end, Chelsea and Aston Villa were goalless, Manchester City was 0-1 ahead of Tottenham.
Manchester City fought hard to win, so I think they really deserved to win this game. Nathan Ake was the only goal scorer in this match, he deserves respect.

There was no good effort from Tottenham throughout the match, but they also tried their best. Manchester City dominated the match from start to finish and this victory was truly deserved. Manchester City had everything ahead of Tottenham, but unfortunately there was only one goal in this tight match.

[Salahmu]

FA Cup match

There are 4 matches currently underway, but two of them are particularly interesting. The Chelsea vs Aston Villa and Tottenham vs Manchester City matches are the two matches I mean, and these are really interesting to watch.

Actually today's match is something else because it seems most of the matches are playing the same thing for example Chelsea and Aston Villa played 0-0, Sheffield Wednesday played 1-1 against Coventry City and now Manchester City is also playing 0-0 now  with Tottenham Hotspur however it was as if all those club had a discussion of deciding to draw all there matches today because I never imagine that the draw will be this much.

However Chelsea match was very tough on the both team because there performance was equal but at first I was thinking that Aston Villa may likely win them because Chelsea is not really good in performance this season but it was unfortunate for them that they were not able to utilize the opportunity, and however Manchester City on the other just manage to score one goal now on the last minutes of the match perhaps they are very lucky that they were able to score now because they would have just ended in draw, so congratulations to Manchester City on there victory against Tottenham Hotspur.

I think in this match the possibility of a draw is still very much felt but there could indeed be a surprise where all situations can always happen in 90 minutes later.

The H2H shows that the team performance is balanced and anybody can win; that is what makes the match very hard to predict.

As an Arsenal fan, I will add emotion to this judgment and prediction because I know that with the injury list Liverpool have and the shocking news of Jurgen Klopp exiting the club at the end of the season, I think Arsenal will not allow Klopp to take this victory, and the match will be the determinant for Arsenal to see if they can be able to keep challenging for the Premier League title together with Manchester City.

Arsenal have home advantage, and with the great performance they displayed against Crystal Palace at the Emirate Stadium in their last Premier League match, I am sure that Arsenal can defeat Liverpool because they need all three maximum points to keep their title hope alive.

[udidrone]

Any reason he has to give should be sensible.

Of course Klopp has a reason in making a decision, it's just that this time he did not mention the reason but we can guess the reason may be sensitive. Last season I heard rumors that Klopp did not get a budget to bring in several new players well maybe this is one of the reasons so Klopp thinks there is no other way to stay without a new player budget. If indeed this is the last season of Klopp then I want to see Liverpool winning the title this season and it will be a record in Liverpool history,

[Crypto Library]

This game will end in a draw,and I'm not surprised that almost all the matches in the FA cup are ending in a draw.I really missed my chances of winning today,because it was in my mind to give all the teams playing today a draw because almost all of the teams are strong teams.

No buddy, Manchester proved us wrong. Actually the truth is most of us had the same opinion that ended up this match gonna be draw. Anyway N. Ake make the chances and able to score first goal from Manchester City. Any it was a crazy match the competition between the two teams has been great. Although Manchester City was likely to have a few more goals, but but the Tottenham Hotspur's goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario's great saving save that four shots.

And I suspect he has a very serious injury and will take a very long time to recover. Perhaps Klopp is leaving because of this and he realizes that without Salah, Liverpool cannot win the EPL.

In my opinion, it's not a matter of Mo Salah's injury that Klopp left Liverpool at the end of the season. For me, Liverpool still has many players who can replace him and Klopp's strategy does not just rely on one player. Kloop is a coach whose qualities can win matches even without key players. I saw he died at Liverpool for personal reasons but he also thought about what was best for the club.

It must be admitted that Liverpool is not the only one who lost Klopp. However, Premier League supporters will miss this passionate and attractive figure. But in reality we also have to realize that something that comes will definitely disappear in time. Don't ask why he left, but be grateful for what he inherited.

[nelson4lov]

Of course Klopp has a reason in making a decision, it's just that this time he did not mention the reason but we can guess the reason may be sensitive.

If indeed this is the last season of Klopp then I want to see Liverpool winning the title this season and it will be a record in Liverpool history,

I really don't think we should make a big deal out of Klopp's announcement. I also do not think it is because of an issue with Liverpool owners. At some point in any journey, the traveler will call it quit. Klopp has been with Liverpool for almost a decade now since 2015 (even more than Guardiola at City). As a Liverpool fan, I have dreaded the day that Klopp will leave and that day has come. Let's just accept as is and wish him well rather than try to speculate about the reason because I do think that being on a ride for so long and deciding to get off that ride and take a break is actually a really good reason in itself.

[Wiwo]

If indeed this is the last season of Klopp then I want to see Liverpool winning the title this season and it will be a record in Liverpool history,

if Liverpool is able to to sustain the current trend and the coach is able to deliver at his best, it becomes very important and clear that the coach may get his contract renewed, so it all depends on the outcome of the entire season for the club that will say whether or not, so for that Liverpool is still having a better chance to perform exceptionally well to secure the job of the coach.

So we need to expect a more positive performance and outcome for Liverpool for the coach to be at saver side of things, and much more also the management may need to step in at some point if the can at least get some good hands into the club, at least that will increase the club chances.
