Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Nheer]

That is the current situation in the English Premier League where teams need to have consistency in achieving success. While Manchester City may currently be favored to retain the title due to the return of key players like De Bruyne and the potential addition of Haaland, the landscape of the league can shift rapidly as the season progresses. Liverpool's injury woes and Arsenal's inconsistency certainly present challenges for both teams, but in a league as competitive as the Premier League, anything can happen.

Of course the return of these players will definitely boost title hopes, i just knew its too soon to write Manchester City off because of the points lost during the absence of Haaland and De bruyne. I know it would have been a different story if Liverpool and Arsenal have been more consistent with their play by now they should have left Manchester City far behind but they failed to utilize the chance they had now Manchester City is back in business and they are very big threat with higher possibility of winning the league again.

The league cannot be easily predicted and this season we are already seeing more than two contenders for the title which have made it more interesting than before. I fully support Liverpool to win this time around because they have tried their best so far this season but there is still a long way to go and they need to be consistent with their performance until the end if the season.

The upcoming matches between the top teams will undoubtedly be crucial in determining the final outcome of the season, with each result potentially reshaping the title race. Consistency indeed plays a pivotal role in securing the EPL title, because maintaining high performance levels throughout the season is essential for success. It would be better for a new team to win the EPL title that reflects the desire for diversity and excitement within the league. That would show the passion and anticipation that football fans around the world experience.

The Match against Arsenal and Liverpool got Arsenal and Manchester City in the race again so the three teams needs to take their matches with each other very seriously if they don’t want to be left out of the race. Liverpool losing to Arsenal had made the gap smaller so Liverpool needs to buckle up and maintain their position.

Kevin De Bruyne's presence is like life for Manchester City, proven that without his presence the game seems directionless. Pep Guardiola certainly realizes that he failed to get the right replacement player during the transfer window yesterday. Gundogan's exit in midfield also failed to be covered by Kovacic so KDB is always needed to be in the squad. Statistically, Haaland's goal tally also stagnated due to a lack of supply from the midfield. So it is very clear that currently KDB is a figure who cannot be replaced in the starting line-up.

This cannot be denied and was clearly proven when Kevin De Bruyne returned to playing, Manchester City's performance improved drastically and it didn't take long for Kevin De Bruyne to return to his best performance after his injury.

Overall, Manchester City's performance this season has proven to be still very strong. If nothing bad happens to their mainstay players again until the end of the season, there is a very big possibility that Manchester City can win the trophy again like they did last season.

Manchester City is apparently in its best condition with Kevin De Bruyne getting back from injury. Julian Alvarez demonstrated his importance and I am certain we can see Pep making adjustments and creating a room for the two of them.

Tomorrow Manchester City gets the opportunity to assume control over the top rating. But Liverpool is not permitting it to and will beat Burnley as well. But assuming there is a surprising outcome for the two leading clubs, I will give it to Liverpool because its certainty may be a little low after that disheartening loss from the Gunners.

Manchester City winning this weekend, after all their opponents doesn't seem strong enough to withstand the high pressure that will he exerted by the Citizens. Pep Guardiola have come for everything because his team is currently undefeated after Kelvin De Bruyne return to the team from lengthy injury. There's a whole lot to watch out for Manchester City, they don't hesitate to give their best performance for these matches. Liverpool failed to top the EPL table with major points difference, now they have to fight with everything they have for the purpose to lead the team.

I'm sure everyone will say this because they still believe in the return of De Bruyne and Haaland is able to give a very strong performance and return as before.
The strength of Haaland and De Bruyne's cooperation is very solid and it is very difficult against Manchester City when these two players have returned to appearing together on the field. Almost all clubs in the Premier League are always afraid when playing against this club because it is very difficult to stop these two players who have a great enthusiasm to help club to dominate the premier league.

It will literally take extra efforts by the teams to be able to resist these duel, a very strong defense is the only fortress for opponents facing Manchester city but they will not be too sure because De bruyne is very creative and haland is very opportunistic as he utilizes majority of the opportunities that comes his way without jeopardizing them.

Although teams can attempt to put up a good fight against the Manchester city team regardless of how formidable they are after all there's no team in football that's above loosing a match at some point, even with the best defense system and good goal keeper a team still have the probability of loosing a game at some point but the strength of the team possibly reduce the probability of them loosing to the nearest minimum just like as it is currently with Manchester city.

Thiago Alcantara reportedly suffered another injury after the match against Arsenal last week. Thiago Alcantara came on in the 85th minute and played briefly in this big match. Even though he has just recovered from injury and is trying to make his debut again in this match after last playing for Liverpool in April 2023. Thiago Alcantara's fate is very bad and he will be sidelined from the field again after suffering this muscle injury.

Doubts have arisen since Thiago Alcantara received this new injury and considering that his contract with Liverpool will end this season, it will definitely be quite difficult for management to decide to extend it or let him leave as a free agent. I didn't expect that one of the best midfielders would experience a career collapse after suffering a long injury and as we know since his time at Bayern Munich his performance was so impressive that Liverpool signed him in 2020.

Guardiola must be able to maintain the performance of his players, of course it will be very detrimental to Manchester City if one of their key players gets injured again, of course the return of KDB and several other players will certainly make Manchester City perform well, at least wait for Liverpool to make a mistake so that Manchester City can take the top of the standings. from Liverpool in the next few matches, so far I am still optimistic that Manchester City will still win the title this season

But Guardiola seems to have to divide his focus on the UCL as well because it is possible that they can win the UCL title again this season if their players remain in good performance. Guardiola also has to be smart in managing and rotating his players to perform optimally in every match. My prediction is that Manchester City will win the title this season as long as they maintain their performance in good condition, in the EPL they just wait for Liverpool to make a mistake and whereas in the UCL they just have to get rid of Munich or Madrid

Top man, Top player for Liverpool  whenever the Spanish man is in a good form, since the last time he got injured,  I knew in my heart that this was a good sign that age has come and Liverpool should definitely expect nothing but less from the talented and experienced midfielder who has written his own story around European football.
Though I'd love to watch him play some more games in the Premier League Competition in between. But the recent injury has jump in yet again to deny me that.

He will definitely be amongst the names of players that'll be leaving the club at the end of the season. No doubts about it, I've expected his move even before Jurgen Klopp aired his leave at the end of the season.

Liverpool have already suffered a defeat against Arsenal and all City need to do is take advantage of this to regain the lead in the league. Guardiola will try to win the Premier League and the Champions League, he is a maximalist and therefore will achieve maximum goals. The Champions League is a very difficult tournament, so far they have a chance, but it’s hard to say how far they can go, with only two matches in the playoffs, any mistake can be very costly.

Thiago Alcantara's fate is very bad and he will be sidelined from the field again after suffering this muscle injury.

Endo has returned to Anfield from international duty at the Asian Cup. The news that Thiago had to step aside from the squad again was covered up by the Japanese captain. Liverpool's midfield position this season does not bother Klopp because Endo, Mac Allister, Jones and Ryan Gravenberch can perform at their best according to Klopp's wishes.

Another condition that does not have a big impact with Thiago's re-injury is that the opponents we will face in the next two matches are not too difficult considering their quality.
In fact, in terms of quality and performance, Liverpool will have no difficulty beating Burnley and Brentford this season, but on the pitch the opposite can happen.
This season Thiago Alcantara has also never played for the Liverpool squad. Klopp only played once when we lost against Arsenal in the last match and he only played 5 minutes.

[klidex]

I think City will be champions this season. The deciding match will be against Liverpool in March. I bet City will win the EPL competition this season. Their performance is very good and we can see that with the recovery of Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne, City will be very strong. I hope City will return with a complete squad in the match against Everton later.

If we consider Liverpool and Manchester City both won their games until facing each other then yeah. The game between these teams will probably be the most important one for the league title.  

Because until then Manchester City will have played their missing game against Brentford at Etihad. Probably they will win without much problem as well. This will already help them take the lead by one point from Liverpool. Therefore Liverpool should have been able to stay solid against Arsenal at least in defense.    I didn't like Alisson in that game either as he conceded two simple goals.

Yes, I think Liverpool and Manchester City will try their best to continue to collect lots of points before facing each other to determine which club is the strongest to win the Premier League title. I don't think Manchester City will experience any significant difficulties before meeting Liverpool because Manchester's opponents are mediocre clubs except for Manchester United, but I doubt Manchester United's performance even if they play at home. I don't think Manchester United is that impressive and can beat Manchester City who are in good form. Likewise, Liverpool is currently on a winning streak so they will continue to play impressively in the matches they will face.

Before meeting Manchester City, Liverpool has to face several clubs and the complaints they will face are not too tough because these clubs are not very strong and are at the bottom of the standings, so I think Liverpool and Manchester City will continue to try to win so that the points gap between the two is not too far.

The Champions League is a very difficult tournament, so far they have a chance, but it’s hard to say how far they can go, with only two matches in the playoffs, any mistake can be very costly.

Liverpool gave Manchester City an opportunity to get a first position if they can win one more match that was postponed. It's possibly Manchester City will be able to do this and Liverpool are probably ready to play as a second team on the ranking table. They should not hope that they can keep the first position because Manchester City will make mistake and lose points.

With that ready plan, they will not feel upset and plan-breaking if Manchester City surpass them on the table after winning the postponed match. Liverpool still have possible support from Manchester City's schedule in Champions League and the far the competitor go in Champions League, the more advantage Liverpool will have. Knock out matches in Champions League always consume a lot of concentration and player energy and Manchester City players will return to Premier League with tired and not 100% fitness.

In the Premier League, the competition for the title is always fierce every season, and this season is no different, it is not surprising and the decline and increase in a team's performance in one season is quite normal.
Manchester City have now recovered and are much better after recovering from injury to their mainstay player and on the other hand Liverpool are also very consistent so winning for these two teams makes it possible to compete at the top of the standings until the final week.

Aston Villa is Aston Villa, it's really a big joke some people thinks they might able to become a champion in this season. Right now Aston Villa can only win against small team and lose against big team, the upcoming match they will face Manchester United, the most popular team in Premier League.

So this will be an easy match for Manchester United.

Seeing the Aston Villa match against Chelsea was very stunning in my opinion, where Chelsea had a disciplined match both in defense and attack, the defense against Aston Villa was much tighter and more solid, this was an extraordinary match for Chelsea, especially the free kick by Enzo was very cool in my opinion.

Most likely Aston Villa lost the match because Manchester United is in good progress lately and they managed to consistently not lose any more points, while Aston villa lost its consistency in the last five matches.

In this game, we have performance from both sides on same level but lack of finishing bring down Aston Villa which is still having reaction of the Manchester United lost with in last five games they have only one win with 2 loses and 2 draws clearly indicating their trend is going down and things could be not good against Manchester United as well which is also trying to have better things in coming matches no doubt Chelsea done impressive job and started good after having worst lost at home this mind-set give them good change and perfect win.
...

Judging from the history of the Aston Villa vs Manchester United match meeting, Mu is far superior to Aston villa so far, if you look at this situation Manchester United is more likely to get a victory from Aston Villa.
Plus the growth of Manchester United is in good form while Aston Villa is in stagnant performance in my opinion, the results of the Chelsea match at that time showed that they did not progress well.

If Aston Villa are defeated, their dreams will be less likely and Manchester United will catch up again and be able to compete at the top of the English premier league standings.

[TastyChillySauce00]

I doubt Everton could stand much against Manchester City which should hold the first place after that match at least for a day until Liverpool's match against Burnley.
I would say that Manchester City could win easily with 2 goals difference.
For Liverpool  they could also score at least two goals when facing Burnley in Anfield.
What might be a good thing for them is to see gunners dropping points vs West Ham United

Exactly, it is doubtful that Everton can win the match against Man City.  We have seen how Everton performance so far, This is not kind of hard things to be controlled by Man City. Pep Guardiola has all full team in fit condition. So he won't be difficult to pick and put the players that will be played against Everton. As we know that Man City will also go to Copenhagen for the first leg of round 16. So, there will be certain lineups to be used by Pep in order to be optimal both in UCL and also EPL. There will probably any rotating main lineup during the match by seeing the probabilities. They must not let any main squad to be injured before the UCL match.

Manchester city is now back to the its best performance. Im doubting everton to steal points from other club. Manchester city will be winning with ez game against everton. The performance from everton is not that good right now. I think that is going to be another obstacles for everton. Why? The club has been performing so badly and everton is now in the relegation zone.
Im not seeing chance for everton to get points from this match. Everton needs to let three points to go away from its hand. Im sure that manchester city is far stronger and everton will be so struggling to beat it. This is the main problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible.

Everton needs to get three points to leave from the relegation zone but it's impossible to beat manchester city with the current squad of everton. It's not likely to happen soon. Everton is far worse compared what people are thinking about that.
Im predicting manchester city to win the game with at least two goals. Everton can also scoring against city. The only problem if it doesn't even matter how hard everton tried to beat it and i think that the result will always be the same.

It will be really interesting this week with the Aston Villa vs Man United match a lot of people are discussing here after last night's defeat at home by Chelsea maybe some predictions the hosts will win but that's a different reality because Chelsea proved in the FA match.

What's interesting about the Aston Villa vs Man United odds is that both teams have vastly different odds.

@2.16 - @3.10

There is no influence for the bookies even though Aston Villa suffered a defeat in the FA, who dares to take that big Man United bet?
Of course here I myself how to doubt Man United will win but it could be that yesterday's defeat could affect Aston Villa's performance in the Premier League.
So make sure the host usually plays will be good enough and reconsider your bet.

This is the same Villa Manchester United won when they was in a bad form? Lol. Not because I'm fond of Manchester United in away but this Is a side that won five goals to nothing against Sheffield United,  what happened against Chelsea? They failed to win against Chelsea and you expect them to do so against Manchester United?

Why not reconsider it once again? Lol!

It'll be tough yeah! But all I see right now is a one goal to win for Manchester United.  Manchester United with the return of the few names have indeed been playing good football.

[OcTradism]

The performance from everton is not that good right now. I think that is going to be another obstacles for everton. Why? The club has been performing so badly and everton is now in the relegation zone.

Manchester City are back to their best performances and their biggest competitor in this season Liverpool started to show problems. Arsenal is another competitor but I consider them as less experienced than Liverpool and probably weaker in a long competition too.

Liverpool with their problems in defense system that was seriously exploited by Arsenal in a latest match, will struggle to maintain their competitiveness and race against Manchester City. The title race starts to be skewed on Manchester City after a Liverpool defeat under Arsenal.

Meeting Everton at this moment is good chance for Manchester City to win and at least temporarily take over a first position from Liverpool. When Manchester City can stay at a first position, they will create pressure back to Liverpool.

[hahay]

Kevin De Bruyne's presence is like life for Manchester City, proven that without his presence the game seems directionless. Pep Guardiola certainly realizes that he failed to get the right replacement player during the transfer window yesterday. Gundogan's exit in midfield also failed to be covered by Kovacic so KDB is always needed to be in the squad. Statistically, Haaland's goal tally also stagnated due to a lack of supply from the midfield. So it is very clear that currently KDB is a figure who cannot be replaced in the starting line-up.

This cannot be denied and was clearly proven when Kevin De Bruyne returned to playing, Manchester City's performance improved drastically and it didn't take long for Kevin De Bruyne to return to his best performance after his injury.

Overall, Manchester City's performance this season has proven to be still very strong. If nothing bad happens to their mainstay players again until the end of the season, there is a very big possibility that Manchester City can win the trophy again like they did last season.

If Bruyne and Haaland can still play from the start of the season until now then ya,ofcourse Manchester City is already comfortably at the top of the Premier League standings. Because ya,after all,although Bruyne did not play throughoutthe first half of theseason and also, Haaland who also sometimes could not be played but ya,the fact is that Manchester City canstill survive and or compete well in the top four in the Premier League standings . Therefore,when Bruyne and Haaland are available again toplay together then of course,Manchester City will get better results and of course Manchester City also can consistently to get fullpoints in each match . Therefore, it seems quite certain that Manchester City still have a very big chance to get the Premier League trophy this season.

Likewise, Liverpool is currently on a winning streak so they will continue to play impressively in the matches they will face.

After the victory achieved by Manchester City against hosts Brentford with a landslide score of 3-1, Manchester City also added its points and almost overtook Liverpool's points with a difference of only 2 points, Manchester City with 49 points while Liverpool had 51 points in the standings. current standings. .
And the upcoming match will be even more exciting because both teams have both succeeded in winning the position of Premier League champions this season and this is also included in the category of very exciting and intense matches at the weekend.

Manchester City are back to their best performances and their biggest competitor in this season Liverpool started to show problems. Arsenal is another competitor but I consider them as less experienced than Liverpool and probably weaker in a long competition too.

Manchester City's performance has indeed improved greatly after the recovery of their mainstay player Kevin De Brune, but I don't see the opposite happening to Liverpool.
Liverpool's defeat against Arsenal last weekend is not a sign that Liverpool's performance has declined, I don't think so and the defeat is very natural because Arsnel is also a quite strong team this season.

Liverpool with their problems in defense system that was seriously exploited by Arsenal in a latest match, will struggle to maintain their competitiveness and race against Manchester City. The title race starts to be skewed on Manchester City after a Liverpool defeat under Arsenal.

Before the match against Arsenal, Liverpool's performance was fine, so don't draw any conclusions about the results of this match.
Competition for the Premier League trophy is always fierce and that is also the case this season.

Meeting Everton at this moment is good chance for Manchester City to win and at least temporarily take over a first position from Liverpool. When Manchester City can stay at a first position, they will create pressure back to Liverpool.

With the strength that Manchester City has, they should have no difficulty facing Everton and of course their big motivation is to take over the top of the Premier League standings from Liverpool, making their winning percentage very high.

Every match tomorrow is arranged in such a way that the win of every strong team is guaranteed tomorrow. Both Man City and Liverpool will win tomorrow, so even if their 3 points are added to the points table, Man City will be 2 points behind Liverpool. so the possibility of any change in the points table from tomorrow's matches is very less from the top position. Man City will play Everton and Liverpool will play Burnley who are at 18-19 position in the points table. so this match is a chance for them to get 3 easily points
