Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[tbterryboy]

This factor may also be one of the causes of Liverpool being careless in this match. Because I really don't understand Liverpool's performance in their back line in that match. Maybe as you said, Liverpool became a little careless or relaxed after they managed to beat Chelsea with a lot of goals. And they realized too late that against Arsenal there really is a different kind of pressure. Because Arteta as Arsenal coach also seems to be increasingly mature as a coach. Because as time goes by, Arteta will become an increasingly experienced coach. And I believe Arteta has a very good future as a coach who many other clubs will want in the future. So it is not surprising that Arsenal is getting better from season to season. And beating Liverpool is a very good achievement for Arsenal and is also a benchmark for Arsenal that they are indeed a team that still deserves to be in the title race this season.

I have to agree with this as Liverpool was relaxed after beating Chelsea with big margin, and they were also taking Arsenal easy which give them shock because Arsenal done good job and now have three wins which bring them back into title race, and they are also learning from their lessons which mistakes they have done few weeks back but now fixing their issues which are giving them good results.

Now if Manchester City won their all-next few matches then surely we will have difference of points just 3 for the top three teams and this is going to be interested in last few rounds because all three teams at the top are at same level and have ability to win title, but they need to stay at this current level and also having consistency into their performance.

I think this is not Man United's best performance, but at least they have improved and it doesn't rule out the possibility that they will get even better in the future. It's not an easy thing because as we know, their previous performance was indeed inconsistent, but if they can maintain their performance like when they beat West Ham, I think Man United will have a chance to at least fight for a place in the top 4.

Manchester United last three matches have managed to have consecutive wins and this is an unexpected surprise because previously Manchester United only experienced defeats and draws.
But even though in the last three matches Manchester United managed to win, it still cannot be said that they have improved and it is possible that in the future it will be better.
Look at how they have played for more than half of this season, it is clear that there is no hope whatsoever of achieving big achievement, this season will be different from last season and of course this season Manchester United will not have the opportunity to occupy the top 3 positions and have UCL ticket.
I really don't believe that Manchester United will experience an improvement in the quality of their play in the future, as long as there is series of dramas that occur or some problems occur then Manchester United will still be team that cannot have stable and consistent performance.

Their only hope is next season but this is if they can correct their mistakes and start from the start to recover and achieve success.
Manchester United next season will only get Europa League ticket and I not yet sure that they will succeed there.

Totally agree, after Abramovich's death, Chelsea seemed to be under a curse, Pochettino, who was expected to bring Chelsea back to glory, seemed to only give false hope.
Yes, Pochettino may have to be fired immediately if he doesn't want to see Chelsea getting worse, the supporters no longer need the process, what they want now is for Chelsea to recover quickly.
Chelsea needs the cool hands of a new coach to be able to restore Chelsea's performance, which seems to have lost its passion for winning.
Maybe Zidane could be one of the candidates for Chelsea's new coach, maybe this is what many Chelsea fans are hoping for. that their team would recover soon

It is difficult to understand Chelsea's performance since Abramovich left, even though new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has done various things to bring it back to its glory era. Since the Boehly era there have been changes in coaches but under Pochettino the Blues' performance has not changed at all. So I think the London team's problems must also be addressed on the club board's side because technical and non-technical matters also need special attention. If the board of directors is not evaluated then whoever the next coach may be will not be able to bring about significant changes.

Yes, it's true because after all, from the Abramovich era it also seems that Chelsea quite often sacks coaches if the results obtained are not as expected. Therefore, with bad results and or very unstable results for Chelsea this season or in this Pochettino era then yes, I think it is time for Chelsea to start looking for a replacement for Pochettino. Although indeed, Chelsea's problems are not only about the coach because I also admit, to restore the team is certainly not easy because it takes a major overhaul in their management. But with that problem, then I think the basic factor is to have the right and coach because yes, with the right manager it will certainly have a good impact in many aspects of the club.

The victory over West Ham is indeed good enough to increase points even though it is far adrift here we can see that Man United's appearance is not so consistent, especially next week will play Aston Villa as an away game, so this is not certain to win if you win it will feel better because the points will be closer.

Getting into the top four of the EPL is still very possible even though it's a small chance, if for example next week is able to beat Aston Villa it will reduce the difference in points that far.
But I feel this match will be difficult to guess, even if Man United lose again we will not be surprised anymore.

I would say one of the main reasons for Liverpool's loss in this match was Mohammad Salah's absence from the squad. Had Salah been with the squad, the match would have been more competitive.

Not to take anything away from Arsenal but Liverpool looked really weak yesterday. Their offence wasn't working, they only managed to get one shot on target throughout the whole game. Even their only goal was an Arsenal's own goal. The absence of Salah could play a big role here, but a team aspiring to win the league cannot be entirely reliant on one player.
We'll have to wait and see if this was just a one-time flop, or whether this is a sign of longer dip in form and season fatigue.
At least thing got a bit more interesting, we now have 3 teams fighting for the title.
Man City is playing away game against Brentford this evening and surely will take this opportunity to get closet to the top spot. The experts give them 71% chance of winning.

Even if you think this is not Man United best performance, the 3-0 victory over West Ham was enough to make Man United fans feel satisfied with a better performance than before. Ten Hag has started to find the best formation, they are also very lucky to achieve this victory without conceding.

Since the last time they drew 0-0 with Liverpool, Man United have always conceded two or more goals, in total they have conceded 11 in the last five matches before finally managing to keep a clean sheet when they hosted West Ham. The top four position is certainly Man United target at the end of the season, now they are only 8 points behind Aston Villa who are in fourth place.

Manchester United's recent win against West Ham is a positive development for gaining points, but the inconsistency in their performance is evident. The upcoming away game against Aston Villa adds an element of uncertainty. Winning would certainly improve their standings by closing the point gap. Defeating Aston Villa in the next match could significantly narrow the point difference to have chance securing a spot in the top four of the English Premier League.

The unpredictability of Manchester United's matches makes it difficult to anticipate the outcome, and even a potential loss wouldn't be surprising at this point. The upcoming game against Aston Villa holds significance, and a victory would undoubtedly boost morale and improve their chances of climbing the league table. It's a situation where every point matters, and fans are hopeful for a positive outcome, despite the team's inconsistent performance.

Things are not going well for Chelsea again. Chelsea lost 4-2 to Wolverhampton at home and after the defeat to Liverpool, Chelsea suffered a 4 goal defeat again. Chelsea started the match well and scored the first goal, but with 2 goals in the first half they lost 2-1 at the end of the first half. Although they played more than their opponent, they could not score. This led them to defeat. Chelsea, who started the second half with pressure, fell behind 4-1 with consecutive goals.  Although they made the score 4-2 with 5 minutes to go, it was unfortunately not enough to get points.

Chelsea score first goal, and then we have disastrous end of this match for them as conceding 4 goals in two matches are surely terrible for the team which already spend over $1 Billion and still fail to keep things on improvement while peoples were thinking now they are on track suddenly we have another worst period which make things worst and now mostly are feeling problems are not going end in this season and most chances they will be again below half of the league table.

At the end of the first half we have 1–2 still expectations were high, but suddenly we have too many errors and all gone from bad to worse now pochettino is also surely under huge pressure because things are not going as he wants to do before end of this season, but currently we have no good rumours about them but still most chances we will have no changes until end of this season.

[Silence Scream]

Manchester United continue their run of form in recent weeks. Manchester United, who defeated out-of-form West Ham 3-0 at home, want to stay in the race, but the points difference is a bit high. West Ham had more chances than their opponents but couldn't capitalize on them and couldn't even score a goal. With this win, Manchester moved 2 points above West Ham.

Manchester United are not stable but this winning helps them to have 8 points less than Aston Villa with same played matches. They will have to beat not only Aston Villa but also Tottenham Hotspur and they will need to have very excellent next months to beat those competitors. This winning is important for them to continue their good form and avoid to be fallen too far behind those clubs.

However, Manchester United still have a long way to go and beat those competitors with 6 points and 8 points less. Tottenham will have Son Heung Min return after AFC Asian Cup and they will be stronger in attacking. Aston Villa with 8 points more look too far but they are not too experience and it seems Manchester United will race directly with Tottenham in coming months for a fourth position.

I think this is not Man United's best performance, but at least they have improved and it doesn't rule out the possibility that they will get even better in the future. It's not an easy thing because as we know, their previous performance was indeed inconsistent, but if they can maintain their performance like when they beat West Ham, I think Man United will have a chance to at least fight for a place in the top 4.

Although the top 4 seems a bit difficult for Manchester United right now, I see them finishing the league among the top 6. They won against important teams in the last matches. They are away from the top 4 places in terms of points. Of course, the top 4 is their main target, but even if that is not the case, I am sure they will continue to strive to finish the league in the top 6 places.

Manchester United is starting to show positive signs since entering 2024. So far the Red Devils' performance has been quite consistent and they have never lost at all. Yes, but fans still have concerns because their favorite team's performance often appears inconsistent. So we can assess the extent of United's strength when they meet Aston Villa, if they are able to get full points again then the opportunity to advance to the top five is quite open.

[Oluwa-btc]

Manchester united managed to gain victory over Westham yesterday was quite a good one but it's still not enough to redeem their glory as they will need much more than just that to be able to secure a spot at least amongst top four team, the performance of Manchester united this season isn't encouraging and yesterday I literally struggled to go see that game

Tottenham is looking very much formidable to the point that I'm scared if Manchester united will succeed in the race for the fourth position with them because they are strengthen the team with the return of their injured players and son who went for the Asian cup to defend his country, the return of all these team mates will make the team get a better form than they did had, Manchester united didn't ha e any of it's player going for any tournament yet thsy still didn't look inform against other teams in the absence of their players so I doubt if Manchester will do better against a complete spur squad in the race to the court position on the table.

Manchester United played much better and felt they deserved this victory and on the other hand, West Ham's performance was also quite declining so Manchester United could take advantage of this to destroy them with a score of 3-0.

In terms of strength, Manchester United are quite good and that has been visible since the start of the season, but their problem is consistency, there is no guarantee that they can continue to consistently show performance like in the match against West Ham.
For the opportunity to fight for the top 4 positions in the standings, I think Manchester United is still very much taken into account because they still have quite a big chance.

We should all give credits to the manager and the players at most the manager Erik Ten Hag, he has received too much criticisms but he has been gradually turning the tides around.
Having these players back from Injury is a big boost for him and it'll lead them to the top four. One thing that is sure is how they'll win all the games they'll be playing this month of February.

What is needed right now is consistency and pure dedication, they Lisandro Martinez back mainly but he will be out for another two months. Arsenal did well to win next week they'll still face a tough opponents. For Chelsea ? Is Pochetino Mauricio that man?

[Majestic-milf]

 Not much to expect in today's game between Man City and Brentford as many already know how the outcome will be; Man City emerging the winners but Brentford would be looking to prove stubborn and coupled with the fact that big teams find it difficult to defeat them in their home, they will be hoping that Man City falls victim too. Brentford would be putting much of their hopes on their star striker, Ivan Toney, that's if he starts because since the striker came back, he has been making his presence known but I feel the Bees will be needing more than just that confidence and reliance, I feel they'd have to strengthen their defense and also pair it with good attack. Kevin de bruyne is back and there's also the belief that their clinical finisher, Erling Haaland is back and we know how deadly pairing those two can be.
 At the moment, Brentford are 15th in the table and they don't need nothing short of a win to save them from relegation waters, but will a win come easy for them especially as Man City needs the three points to ensure they get close to table toppers, Liverpool?

Never mind playing well, they also can't develop their game as I said before. Now Jurgen Klopp must evaluate the results of this match so that the same thing does not happen in the next match. Because if this continues then they will really lose their current position and they will probably fail to become Premier League champions again this season.
They must be better in the next match to be able to maintain their hopes of becoming champions.

I would say one of the main reasons for Liverpool's loss in this match was Mohammad Salah's absence from the squad. Had Salah been with the squad, the match would have been more competitive.

Since Salah was not in the squad. Naturally, Liverpool's attacking players were a little slow in their performance. And that's why Arsenal's players have plenty of attacking and counter-attacking opportunities. Had Salah been in Liverpool's squad, Arsenal might have played a bit more defensively and tried to counter Liverpool's attacks.
Despite the defeat in this match, Liverpool remain at the top of the table. If Liverpool can continue their winning streak in the upcoming matches, Liverpool have a chance to win the title.

Arsenal may have become more cautious and less adventurous in their attacks due to Salah's dynamic presence on the pitch. After he left, Liverpool's offense lost some of its edge, which could have given Arsenal more room to move. Liverpool's break is painful, but I agree that its not the end. Their resilience and depth give me confidence they'll recover in the following matches. Faithfulness is vital.

Arsenal's performance is admirable. In a high-stakes game against Liverpool, they showed their strength. An absence of one player can change the dynamics of a match, but thats football - unpredictable and exhilarating. Liverpool remains a title contender, you're right.

It's not an easy thing because as we know, their previous performance was indeed inconsistent, but if they can maintain their performance like when they beat West Ham, I think Man United will have a chance to at least fight for a place in the top 4.

I also see that Man United's chances of reaching the top four are still very big, especially next week when they face Aston Villa, of course this will be their opportunity to continue to reduce the difference in points with fourth place.

But whatever it is, we'll see in the next matches whether they can be consistent. because it's still too early to assume that Man United has returned to normal, but I'm sure Man United's glory days will return, let's just enjoy every match.

I also hope that Ten Hag gives many opportunities to the players Mainoo, Garnacho, Hojlund and Bayindir. Ten Hag must be firm and brave in benching Rasford and Anthony (players whose performance is not good). If this happens, I am sure the Man United team will get back on the right track and be able to compete for a place in the top four.

[doomloop]

Maybe Man United will really repeat last season this season. I mean last season Man United improved from the middle of the season to the end. And maybe this time it will be the same as last season. Onana also made a good save in this match. And there weren't many mistakes made by Man United's back line in this match. And I also hope that the Man United squad can continue their performance like in this match. And it's actually quite rare this season for Man United to win without conceding the ball. But this time they managed to win without conceding and this is a positive thing for Man United's back line, which means it has improved.

In last few matches we have good improvement in Manchester United attack as they are scoring good number of goals, but their defense is still problems for them even in last game they have clean sheet but most their defense is conceding 2 to 3 goals in matches which is surely nightmare for them and if they want to fight for the fourth spot then surely they have to improve their defense which is most important currently they are having 8 points difference from the fourth spot Aston Villa which is surely not easy to cover in remaining matches if they are not going to improve their defense.

Next week is surely going to be interesting as Aston Villa will be host Manchester United and if they will be able to play as they have done at home and have full three points then surely we can expect something positive from them in remaining matches of this season.

There are a few things they still need to improve on but so far at least the points they've been gaining are showing signs of improvement.
Hojlund is now starting to be able to adapt to the game and his performance is slowly quite good at least in the last 4 matches including in the match in the FA cup he continued to score even though it was 1 goal in 1 match but that in my opinion is a positive thing for Hojlund.

In this match also Onana appeared quite impressive because on several occasions, the save made by Onana was quite good actually and it deserves to be appreciated.
This is a positive thing for Manchester United but in this case they still have to keep trying to make a breakthrough because after all with the current situation even though their performance is slowly improving but if on several occasions their inconsistency is disturbed then criticism will continue to get.

[Cookdata]

Sure no one saw Liverpool losing to Arsenal due to the fact that they are in-form and were hoping to still maintain the gap between them and the second club in the league table but I was analyzing the game that most Arsenal defeat to Liverpool is always when Mohammed Salah is being featured but since he hasn't returned from injury so I saw it as an advantage for Arsenal to win Liverpool, though for me Liverpool played better just that they missed most of their chances and Arsenal utilized their own chances and another thing that caused Liverpool's loss is due to poor defense like the defenders overlapped too much thereby granting Arsenal easy penetration to their defense and scored goals.

Liverpool played this games so well that I had so much hope on them but second half was flopped, Klopp allowed many mistakes that shouldn't have happened and he realized that but was confused with the situation when Konate was thrown out with a red card. Even from the ball pass accuracy, Liverpool were doing well but the didn't convert their potential, imagine they had just 1 short on target, that's poor game from Liverpool been the top of the team from the standing. I will call these fair since Liverpool didn't allow Arsenal to win their home, they also protected Emirate stadium yesterday which is cool.

Liverpool losing to Arsenal at this critical stage of the league is very unfortunate because if Manchester city wins Brentford tonight and possibly win their outstanding match then they would surely claim the top of the league and any opportunity that Manchester city have now to reclaim the top of the league will peradventure give them an edge over the league title though the top four clubs are very up and doing as anyone of them might take over the top of the league table if others flops.

There is nothing critical here, you don't expect Liverpool should visit Emirate stadium and then allow Arsenal to lose that easily, it will take a lot of hard work for them to concede and that's what happened in that match. Liverpool mistake made it worse and now what I'm afraid is the point margin that separate between Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. The only way for Liverpool to avoid been displace from that standing is if they don't lose any games this season and Arsenal and Manchester City should lose, too hard to see.

Manchester United started the season on a very poor note. It was so bad that some group of the club's fans started calling for the sack of their club manager Erik ten Hag but in recent weeks, the club have been delivering impressive performances and are now in strong position to finish the season in the top four of the league table. Erik ten Hag I think have finally found the best playing pattern for the club would definitely put in all the needed works to make sure United continues with their current form.

Not much to expect in today's game between Man City and Brentford as many already know how the outcome will be; Man City emerging the winners but Brentford would be looking to prove stubborn and coupled with the fact that big teams find it difficult to defeat them in their home, they will be hoping that Man City falls victim too.

Later tonight at the Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford will play host to reigning English Premier League champions Manchester City and for the away side they will be playing in their full strength to make sure they win the game and reduce their points difference behind league leaders Liverpool. Pep Guardiola we know is a manager who doesn't get tired in winning trophies, breaking and setting new records so I expect his Manchester City side to be ruthless against Brentford tonight. Despite playing the game away from home, I expect Manchester City to grab all three points from the game

No I don't think that this was the beginning of a new era or anything of significant improvement. Manchester United has played good games every now and then over the last two years. There were games when I thought the penny finally dropped for them, but then the next game they played as if it was time for them to finally get relegated in the English Championship.

The efficiency they had now in the game against West Ham United is highly uncommon for them, but in this case they could benefit from it and win the game. But you should ask yourself how often Manchester United scores 3 goals out of 5 chances and the answer is not very often. That's why I am not positive for the next games as this efficiency won't be maintained and then the struggles begin again.

[Roseline492]

Brentford have no chance to beat Manchester City this because just like i said above Manchester City was in the good conditions especially after some of their players are return to play again so certainly Manchester City will being an the winner of this match

Yeah I agree with you because there is no way Brentford will be able to win Manchester City because whichever way we evaluate it Manchester City has the best quality and experience players than Brentford, however this season doesn't even favour Brentford because there performance this season is very bad that they lost so many matches from the beginning of the season till now and because of that they have gone to the 15 position of the table, so perhaps there is no way we can compare a team with such poor performance to Manchester City which is currently at the third position of the premier League, actually Manchester City will not joke with this match because there second position depends on this match so they will try all there possible best to win Brentford.
