Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[CryptoBuds]

yeah. Manchester City are the favorites this season, and I can say that I am confident for Manchester City to win the trophy this season again because of how their performance has been since the return of their key players to the pitch. Although I had hope for Liverpool before the return of their key players, right now, with the way City's performance is going, I don't see Arsenal or Liverpool as the favorites again because Manchester City are now back, although before I was thinking Arsenal or Liverpool would take the trophy.

Only two points away from Liverpool, we are very confident that Man City can catch up at the end of this season, at least they can be more consistent in all matches, if the title doesn't just disappear for Man City because Liverpool is still in consistent stamina in their last few matches, so I still have to be alert, in my opinion, Man City, plus this week, will host Chelsea in week 23/24, at least getting full points is something that Man City players and Pep Guardiola must get.

Manchester City is only 2 points behind Liverpool. However, Manchester City team has played one match less than Liverpool. So if Manchester City can beat Chelsea in their next match then the top spot in the table will be occupied by Manchester City.

However, it will be difficult for the three teams, City, Liverpool and Arsenal, to hold the top spot in the table. Because there are a lot of strong teams in the Premier League. So it is very difficult for any team to maintain a winning streak. Still each team will play around 14/15 matches. There is still a long journey ahead. So it is still uncertain which team will win the title.

It's actually difficult to guess who will win the EPL title this season, although many people believe that Manchester City will win the title this season, Liverpool and Arsenal are still very important because they could win the title this season if they maintain their consistency until the end of the season. , they could win it, sometimes the most difficult thing is when at the end of the season most of the clubs at the top of the standings are often very inconsistent.

What can be taken as an example is last season where Arsenal were believed to be going to win the title last season but they ended badly so they had to give up Manchester City to win the title last season, that is what Arteta must learn not to make another mistake at the end. season and also includes Klopp to put pressure on his players to maintain their consistency at the end of the season because the title this season is very important for them for their farewell to Klopp who will leave Liverpool after this season, of course the title this season is very much sought after by Liverpool

The dynamics of the competition are very complex, Arsenal wants to change fate so that last season mistakes don't happen again, Liverpool wants a beautiful farewell to Klopp, and Man City is still believed to be a strong candidate to win the EPL trophy. as a whole, these three clubs deserve to win the EPL trophy at the end of the season, because they have the complete attributes to be able to remain consistent until the end of the season. Another challenge that must be taken into account is the European competition schedule, Which will drain players energy and focus, Where each manager is required to continue to adjust the team without losing balance in one of the competitions.

Apart from that, Man City really has a chance to overtake Liverpool in the future, because Pep fleet still has one postponed match which is relatively easy, namely against Brentford. however, for the time being, next week it looks like there will be no change in position in the top three of the standings, Although there are concerns that Chelsea could potentially become a stumbling block in Man City efforts to achieve full results. and the competition for the top four positions in the standings is no less interesting, the slot to appear in the UCL next season is being contested by Tottenham and Aston Villa with a difference of one point.

[len01]

Apart from all that, the fact that both Liverpool and Arsenal can still be considered as other candidates is quite reasonable and getting odds that much for the current time is still reasonable in my opinion. I think it is still quite difficult to determine who wins and because the difference is not much different and every week the results are still different, this will be a very complicated season for the three leading teams.

It's actually difficult to guess who will win the EPL title this season, although many people believe that Manchester City will win the title this season, Liverpool and Arsenal are still very important because they could win the title this season if they maintain their consistency until the end of the season. , they could win it, sometimes the most difficult thing is when at the end of the season most of the clubs at the top of the standings are often very inconsistent.

It is difficult to predict the final results of this season while there are still many matches left and there are still many surprises that occur even though currently Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City look strong but we don't know what will happen because in the EPL since the beginning of the season there are many surprises such as Spurs And Aston Villa who had given a surprise could reach the top of the standings even though it was only temporary but a surprise like this that made us worry whether there were still more surprises this season.

personally, I am actually more confident if Man City will still be able to get another title this season even though there is no guarantee but we don't hurt to predict each other's opinions.

[Spaceman1000$]

Manchester City are the favorites this season, and I can say that I am confident for Manchester City to win the trophy this season again because of how their performance has been since the return of their key players to the pitch.

So it is very difficult for any team to maintain a winning streak. Still each team will play around 14/15 matches. There is still a long journey ahead. So it is still uncertain which team will win the title.

With the way things are looking, Manchester city might likely win the league, initially I didn't see them as contenders but recently they've been edging in so hard on Liverpool and arsenal. With the outstanding match they have, once they win that match, just know that Manchester city hardly drop points when they are at the top of the table. However there is too much time for Liverpool and arsenal to pick up the Pace.
I am still one of those persons that don't want Manchester city to win the league, not because I don't like Manchester city but because it's making the league look like a farmers league.

[KTChampions]

Ha, indeed, I scrolled through the results of the seasons until 1888 and for some reason everyone, even the brutally dominant teams, stopped at the magic number 3 and could not win 4 seasons in a row. I will hope that this is another sign that the City will be dethroned 
Now Arsenal's chances are estimated at less than 20% and this may be fair given the fact that there are two strong teams ahead of them, but in my opinion, if we assume that City does not take the title, then Arsenal has equal chances with Liverpool for it.

If Man City fails this season, of course Arsenal and Liverpool will have the best chance of winning the title. But I probably think Liverpool will win the title this season if Man City fails. But the problem is that Man City even now looks stronger. Especially after seeing the Copenhagen vs Man City match in the UCL. I see Man City becoming increasingly dangerous for every opponent they face. Copenhagen couldn't even do much in the match against Man City. So I think the Premier League won't be much different. And maybe Man City will win the Premier League title for the fourth time. As well as creating new history as a team that managed to win the EPL title 4 seasons in a row.

It seems to me that you shouldn’t rely on City’s game against Copenhagen, after all, most Premier League clubs should beat Copenhagen in a two-game confrontation (unless of course it’s United hahaha). KDB and Haaland successfully returned and City are on the rise, but if we consider the season as two circules (in fact, this is the case - the first circule then the second), then in the first circule there was a very similar picture and City had a good advantage over everyone, but then in a series of difficult games lost it.
I will hope this happens again.

[püsür]

Chelsea being in the top five on the table will be the most amazing thing to happen as far as this season is concerned. Chelsea has already lost many points so far, so even if they increase their present performance to fight and see their success, they will apparently hang around the top 10, no doubt, but seeing their two last games, which are with Aston Villa, they performed well and scored 1-3, and the same thing happened when they also played against Crystal Palace, where the score was also 1-3, but that's not enough because Chelsea are already showing wonders, but it will be very hard for them to meet up to the top five in the table because having the task point will be something impossible for them.

We anticipate Chelsea’s next match with Manchester City, and I will definitely give my win to Manchester City, because it will be very hard for Chelsea to win them, but Chelsea are already showing wonders, so maybe they might win with luck.

It will be very difficult for Chelsea to rank up to the top of the spot because there are other clubs that have been eyeing that position for some time now, and those teams are even stronger than Chelsea, so you can see that they won't allow Chelsea to overtake their position. Although Chelsea has started showing some performance in their previous matches, two matches don't mean they have returned to form. Chelsea is still in the tenth position on the table. Manchester United, Newcastle, West Ham, and Brighton are still topping Chelsea, and don't forget that Aston Villa are in fifth place, and all these clubs I mentioned are still battling to get there, so you can see that they will find it hard to get there.

If they play very good players like Gallagger, Palmer with the transfer of 4-5 experienced-quality players, Chelsea can return to its old days. At the moment, there is no clear first 11, tactical understanding and system in the team. Although there are good names individually, team play is priority in the Premier League. There shouldn't be a serious quality difference between the players in the starting 11. They have to have a striker who will score 20 or more goals. If Chelsea had made exact transfers instead of making countless transfers, they would not be in the current situation.

[hahay]

Chelsea tried let's give them so accolade the EPL is a very tough league, the club you think is small would even suprise you, talk more of Crystal Palace that's been consistent of not being relegated for years now, Chelsea might be bigger than them but they're a  club that could pull a treat to big teams, therefore I think really tried, some of their players might not have performed to fans  expectations but atleast they played a role in securing the victory amd there's still room for improvement.

I agree with you as it isn't really easy for any club in the premier league now as the league tends to be getting more tougher now and considering the fact that Chelsea wasn't in a good form at the beginning of the season and now they're really trying very hard to make a difference, i think they are trying and deserves some accolades just like you said. Winning an average club like crystal palace isn't easy despite the fact that they have been dropping in form recently but however, Palace is one of the team in the premier league that can surprise any big team unexpectedly so Chelsea really did a good job by winning Crystal palace both home and away this season.

Chelsea and Manchester united seems to be giving some surprises recently and I hope they maintain their form this time rather than winning and losing always, they need to be more focused at least to achieve a spot in the Europa competition next season rather than ending the season with no concrete achievement.

Although Manchester United and Chelsea are both NOT in their best form but still, the fact is that Manchester United still has better results compared to Chelsea. Because anyway, at least Manchester United can still compete in the top six, while about Chelsea this season only strives to be in the top 10. Because anyway, sometimes Chelsea also dropped to 11th place and yes, because Chelsea does not have a stable performance then anyway, the fact is that Chelsea is currently still in 10th place despite the previous match Chelsea managed big win against Crystal Palace. So yes, the big win against Crystal Palace for me was nothing impressive at all because anyway, the reality is that Chelsea are still in the middle of the table and unable to climb higher in the table at the moment.

It seems to me that you shouldn’t rely on City’s game against Copenhagen, after all, most Premier League clubs should beat Copenhagen in a two-game confrontation (unless of course it’s United hahaha). KDB and Haaland successfully returned and City are on the rise, but if we consider the season as two circules (in fact, this is the case - the first circule then the second), then in the first circule there was a very similar picture and City had a good advantage over everyone, but then in a series of difficult games lost it.
I will hope this happens again.

Copenhagen is not that strong to be able to provide fierce resistance to Manchester City, it can be seen how the match goes even though Copenhagen acts as the host, but they cannot lie to themselves to be able to press Manchester City. But in the midst of the pressure exerted by Manchester City I was surprised when they could steal 1 goal to equalize.
It has been an easy journey for Manchester City in this round of 16, they get an opponent that on paper they are far superior to Copenhagen. I can confidently say they will be in the quarterfinals.
Talking about Manchester United, we know what they are like, not bad, but not good either, especially in the Champions League they did not perform as expected. They are the second favorites actually, but they can't answer their status as favorites.

From onset after the draw of round of 16 was announced I already knew Man City has a brighter chances of qualifying for the quarterfinals at the expense of Copenhagen whose team I believe is a less formidable opponent it's like a walkover match for Man City thus I am not surprised that they defeated Copenhagen right at their home making the second leg to be easy match at Etihad with Man City having a two goals advantage over their rival, however Man City next fixture is against Chelsea this weekend I believe their  midweek win is a big boost and motivation to play Chelsea this weekend City who are also the league title contender would aim for a win.

EPL clubs are struggling, and only the best squad can achieve their goals this season. The form of these great teams is inconsequential because the best team always comes up with strategized specifics of successful wins. Manchester United and Chelsea won their previous matches over the weekend; they have improved their performance and are aiming for the greatest outcomes. Comparing Manchester United and Chelsea is completely out of proportion. The differences are already clear since these clubs have goals and are working hard to achieve them.

The Copenhagen team was not in good form. So as expected Manchester City got an easy win in this match. But the good news is that we saw a great performance from De Bruyne in this match. De Bruyne contributed to all three goals in the match. He scored one goal and made two assists. But I expected to see a little better performance from Haaland.

Manchester City is going to face Chelsea in the next match. Chelsea's performance is very erratic, so naturally Manchester City is considered the favorite in this match. But let's not forget that the last match played by City against Chelsea was a 4-4 draw. So City's defense will have to perform well if they want to get 3 points against Chelsea and take the top spot in the table.

Manchester City should be preparing for the team they will meet in the quarter finals because their meeting in the round of 16 was just an easy ticket or path for them to cross easily to the quarterfinals. Copenhagen are in no any circumstance able to face Manchester City, not even when some of  their best players are out on injury, they can still face and beat Copenhagen without having any doubts of not prevailing against them. They’ve really did well, in the group stage, they were the second favourite after finishing in front of Galatasaray and Manchester United which we all thought will finish  second when the draws for the group stage was drawn. Let’s wait to see who Manchester City will face next in the quarterfinals, maybe by that time we will see a more competitive and indecisive match until it is played.

Of course, Manchester City is one of the favorites to qualify for the quarter-finals. Copenhagen can't do much and will probably give up because the quality of the game and the depth of the squad are not up to par, but they should have fun in this round of 16 instead of feeling pressured. Even though in the end Copenhagen couldn't qualify, their journey this season in the Champions League is still worthy of appreciation.

Apart from Manchester City, I think Arsenal also has good potential to qualify for the quarter-finals. Both teams have performed well this season and both have matches that tend to be easy. Porto will not be able to make Arsenal fail to qualify for the quarter-finals, at least that's what I see after comparing the quality of the teams.

Since they have drawn in the Champions League against Copenhagen against Manchester City, I am confident that Manchester City will overcome them both at home and away. I feel Manchester City has already qualified for the quarterfinals. Guadiola is doing well, and I believe that if De Bruyne is in a match, it will be difficult for the club to lose. Look at how Manchester beat Copenhagen, which was just a bonus match for them in the competition, the one goal Copenhagen scored was a lucky goal because the keeper made a bad pass in the game.

Manchester United are not good, but they have started to pick up form and will be able to properly qualify for the Champions League next season if they continue to win matches in the league, but my main concern is the coach Erik Ten Hag, who cannot compete in the Champions League with other clubs because he plays poor games in the group stage and they do not even qualify for the eroupa league, they need to bring in a new manager if Manchester United want to win trophies next season.

Manchester City are generally stronger, more stable and much more confident than Chelsea, so they have every chance to win and may not even have to work hard. Chelsea are not the same team, they are fighting for a top-10 finish, it's not even serious, they will be playing against the team at the top of the table, there is no chance.

Well Copenhagen aren’t any match to Man City, as they’re one tough opponent and they’re title contenders. Copenhagen tried to be able to at least get 1 goal as equalizer. No one expected Copenhagen to be able to have anything in this fixture and one tough fixture. Man City are favorites of the UCL as I’m confident of them heading to the UCL quater final  or Semi-finals if not the finals.

 Chelsea will be one big match for City as I feel they’ll prepare more for that match rather than the one against Copenhagen. The defeat at the home of Copenhagen has made the match of the 2nd leg an easy one for them but they'll take Chelsea more seriously cause of their quest to win the EPL title again, they're aware that if they lose the match against Chelsea it would give Liverpool and Arsenal a big advantage so they won't take it likely.

After Manchester City defeated Copenhagen, they focus on preparing for their next Premier League match against Chelsea. They will not want to drop any point against Chelsea because of the title race, while Chelsea will want to win Manchester City to end the deadlock as they have gone more than five matches without winning Manchester City both home and away.

If Chelsea is able to win Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool will be very happy because it will reduce their workload as no one will like Manchester City to win the Premier League again this season.

Although Manchester United and Chelsea are both NOT in their best form but still, the fact is that Manchester United still has better results compared to Chelsea. Because anyway, at least Manchester United can still compete in the top six, while about Chelsea this season only strives to be in the top 10. Because anyway, sometimes Chelsea also dropped to 11th place and yes, because Chelsea does not have a stable performance then anyway, the fact is that Chelsea is currently still in 10th place despite the previous match Chelsea managed big win against Crystal Palace. So yes, the big win against Crystal Palace for me was nothing impressive at all because anyway, the reality is that Chelsea are still in the middle of the table and unable to climb higher in the table at the moment.

Very clear, we even know based on the ranking of the Premier League standings. united is in 6th position, while Chelaea is in 10th position. in terms of points, the two teams are separated by 7 points. for me, United has progress that can lead to a better level. the reason is, the core players that Ten Hag relies on have recovered from their injuries. although, it was reported that Lisandro Martinez had to be absent again due to another injury. however, overall Ten Hag should be able to rotate and utilize other defenders. so, United has a chance to add points in the matches they will play in this competition. The case was different when United played matches against City and Liverpool. It could be that Erik Ten Hag's team will experience difficulties in this match. well, if Spurs and Aston Villa experience a decline in performance, United has the potential to approach the top four in the standings.

As for Chelsea, their current position remains in 10th place. moreover, this week Chelsea will play away matches at the Etihad Stadium and Tottenham Spurs Stadium in the next two matches. If the results do not match expectations, Chelsea's ranking could be overtaken by the team below it. However, at least in the last two matches in the Premier League and FA Cup, Pochettino tried to change the system and rotate his players. As a result, Chelsea was able to beat Aston Villa in the FA Cup and Crystal Palace in the Premier League. It could be that Poche will apply the same pattern. Maybe, the results will be different.  Unfortunately, their opponents next week and the next are City and Spurs, getting full points will be very difficult. Moreover, in the match against City, Chelsea played an away match. But, let's just follow it, football is interesting and unique. The results of each match will be determined when the match is held.

Manchester United were saved by Maguire, Onana who were considered as main reasons in their defensive system. Those players are strong mentally and came back strongly after going through hardest times in their career in Manchester United. Onana shown that he is able to make good saves and it's unfair too blame responsibility of all conceded goals to a goalkeeper.

A goalkeeper is like a last barrier to prevent opponents scoring goals but before that, other players in defensive area to midfield area must be responsible for failing to proactively prevent and block dangerous attacks from opponents.

Previously Maguire was widely mocked because he often made blunders but now see from the last few matches he has become an important pillar of Man United's defense and Erik Ten Hag always plays him as the main defense, I also see him playing nicely so he can get better.

Well the goalkeeper as the last barrier but I admit Andre Onana's performance was quite good yesterday, I don't doubt him but will he appear more confident again? If so then Onana needs a long adaptation if he is to impress.

So far, Man United's defense is much better than before.

We've all seen improvements as a result of taking off the captain arm band from Harry Maguire but then, there's this lack of confidence you get still when you watch him there, sloppy defense but much faster and calculative when it Lisandro Martinez with those cut in between the line passes. I'd still love to see Lisandro Martinez ahead over Harry Maguire in Manchester United defense

He can sure adapt. Assuming he does same way he did during Aston Villa for the next one month,best believe he'll be back with lots of confidence, you know. It was refreshing to see that from Andrea Onana.

The Defenders, Midfielder's and Attackers. Most interesting, is watching Kobbie Mainoo grow in between Bruno Fernandez and Casemiro.
One more name? Diego Dalot's buzzing!

the big win against Crystal Palace for me was nothing impressive at all because anyway, the reality is that Chelsea are still in the middle of the table and unable to climb higher in the table at the moment.

The impressive part of Chelsea’s game against Crystal Palace was how Crystal Palace struggled to have another goal but were unable to. At least we know that the present performance of Chelsea is down, even though we need to appreciate and encourage them. Seeing their efforts not to go down in the table but trying their possible best to be at the top of the table, seeing that the Wolves are just 2 points below Chelsea, that shows they can still go back to position number 11 in the table, which I am quite sure Chelsea will find it hard to let themselves fall like a falling three, so definitely they will increase their performance and bring out a good result.

Manchester City are generally stronger, more stable and much more confident than Chelsea, so they have every chance to win and may not even have to work hard. Chelsea are not the same team, they are fighting for a top-10 finish, it's not even serious, they will be playing against the team at the top of the table, there is no chance.

Knowing that Manchester City’s performance is way better than Chelsea's doesn’t mean that Chelsea will forfeit the game, but Chelsea will try their best to see if they can score a goal in the game or try to go on a draw with Manchester City because if they won’t allow themselves to lose again, Manchester City, I am sure they will definitely try to go on a draw with Manchester City, which to me is a better solution for them than losing.
