Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[slapper]

After Chelsea won last week this time they were put back by a stronger team, therefore the Chelsea standings will remain stuck in the middle position for a long time so I don't think Chelsea will make a new surprise again.

Do you think Chelsea can surprise anyone in a match like this? Because they won their last match doesn’t mean they will win their next match. As we can see, Chelsea have been stuck in the middle position for a long time. I guess they have been in the 10th position right from the beginning of the season. Whenever Chelsea are performing well and they are about to leave the middle position, you will notice a drop in their performance, and they will start losing their matches. Chelsea's next match will be against Manchester City, and I am sure Chelsea will not be able to win the match. I am not expecting any surprises from Chelsea in the match, Manchester City's performance has really improved lately, and they won’t want to lose a point to Chelsea.

If you distrust Chelsea's chances against Manchester City, I understand. Watching them float in the middle of the table, displaying flashes of potential, has been maddening. Their sudden shifts from good to bad are a huge issue. However, football surprises. Given Chelsea's unpredictability, Manchester City should win, but there's always a chance. While City is in terrific form, Chelsea has defeated top clubs before. It won't be easy, but completely dismissing Chelsea may be premature. Test their mettle. Even if I distrust them, I want to see if they can surprise

Manchester City are hosting Chelsea in this game week which every football fans won't want to miss and this fixture would be more interesting than the Manchester derby if you ask me. The last encounter at Stanford Bridge ended in a dramatic draw with so many goals and the game was just outstanding. I never expected to see the Blues to play with so much high spirit to match the Citizens in that game and I bet you, Pep Guardiola never saw that coming at all and I must say Chelsea was the better side in that encounter.
Is going to be a tough game and I believe Liverpool and Arsenal fans would be on the side of the Blues cheering them to make City lose all 3pts for them to have a breathing space. With how the Chelsea side are performing no one would expect a win but a draw, to me the visitors (Chelsea) are up to cause a great upset for the top 4 teams, make them lose without achieving anything, well that's how teams who performs poorly behave.
I expect to see another goal fiesta but saying the Citizens are going to win I'm not perfectly sure because I see them having a bigger battle in the remaining games at hand. I know this is the period where we get to see a ruthless Man City just like last season and the season before, is like a habit but I believe that I don't see Manchester City going unbeaten in their remaining games at hands, things are going to get messy for the Citizens. Let's see how it will end up with Chelsea, not an easy one despite the fact that the Blues are in a poor form.

Maybe the best news Chelsea could ever get before the final match against Liverpool was about Reece James and this happened. Reece James has been injured in Chelsea since December and he was out of the field for a long time Reece James played in only nine games for Chelsea but he is getting better now and it seems he will be ready for the game against Liverpool which going to be hard match for Chelsea.

If you distrust Chelsea's chances against Manchester City, I understand. Watching them float in the middle of the table, displaying flashes of potential, has been maddening. Their sudden shifts from good to bad are a huge issue. However, football surprises. Given Chelsea's unpredictability, Manchester City should win, but there's always a chance. While City is in terrific form, Chelsea has defeated top clubs before. It won't be easy, but completely dismissing Chelsea may be premature. Test their mettle. Even if I distrust them, I want to see if they can surprise

In football, surprises are very possible to happen and many things cannot be predicted with certainty, but we also have to measure the percentage of possible surprises that will occur.
Manchester City is currently in top form and they are also competing fiercely in the race for the Premier League title this season so in my opinion the percentage of surprises is very small and also Chelsea's current performance is also quite bad, in terms of quality of course there is a significant comparison of strength between Chelsea and Manchester City.

[hahay]

It's really crazy seeing how the odd difference is between Manchester city and Chelsea this weekend. Manchester city has a very low odd of 1.32 and Chelsea has a staggering 7 odd which for me is really outrageous because Chelsea aren't good but I think Manchester city really found it difficult to win them at their last meeting although at that time Kevin de byrune wasn't available unlike now that he is back.

I think even the fans of Chelsea don't expect to see their team winning the game against Manchester City, because recently Manchester City got better and they are having a much better performance than before especially after Kevin De Brunye got recovered and backed to the field to help his team. That's why maybe this can be a completely safe to bet on Manchester City for this match.

Of course, fans always hope that their favorite team wins the match, no fan hopes to lose. Yes, even though statistically there is quite a contrast between Chelsea and Man City, this depends on Pochettino's strategy to always take advantage of the smallest opportunities possible to convert them into goals. Historically, these two teams are big teams that have a good history, but for now we should wait and see whether Man City succeeds in upsetting Chelsea or vice versa.

I think, such odds comparison is still fairly reasonable because it considers the current trend of both teams so yes, Manchester City is the fully favored team. But, if you think Chelsea still has the ability to be able to hold Manchhester City to a draw, then you will also get good odds too, right . After all, if the odds are like that, then it seems like I might also assume that there might be many goals scored in this match, who knows. Therefore, any option to bet on this match is likely to remain a good option and odds too. Interesting of course, because on paper Manchester City will win but even so, basically Chelsea is also not a completely weak team.

Arsenal can slowly return to the competition for the title, now they have the same points as Manchester City and are only 2 points away from Liverpool who have 24 points. With such a distance, of course Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League are still wide open.

This week they will travel to Burnley headquarters, this should be an easy match for them, because Burnley is one of the teams that have performed poorly this season and now they are in the relegation zone.

Although this is an away game for Arsenal, but still they are much stronger than Burnley.

It makes sense that we should give them a chance to pull off a big surprise. But as you said, we must also be able to measure how likely the surprise will be able to happen with their performances that are still like that and with Manchester City's excellent performance to date.
Manchester City are far above Chelsea in appearance, with such a difference then we will definitely speculate with what happens in this match. Chelsea are still very doubtful, even when they meet a weaker team than them the doubt is still quite lingering in the minds of some people, and honestly when Chelsea play and I want to make a bet, I try not to bet on them.

Reece James has been injured in Chelsea since December and he was out of the field for a long time Reece James played in only nine games for Chelsea but he is getting better now and it seems he will be ready for the game against Liverpool which going to be hard match for Chelsea.

Reported by several media, Reece James has the potential to come back and strengthen Chelsea in the EFL Cup final match against Liverpool. However, Pochettino doesn't seem to want to rush Reece James in the crucial match against Manchester City in the Premier League this week.
Its good moment for Chelsea have many option on right defender after Reece James returning from injury have been absent since December and Chelsea get many crucial matches to secure their position how return to Europe League spot standings.
EFL Cup should be priority for Chelsea and Reece James can be answered for playing in the final match, have one week left before final match against Liverpool I think Reece James will try recovery to top level performance.

Not much to expect in that game except Man City making a public show of Chelsea's weakness at the Etihad. They have this habit of making big names look like untried lads and I'm betting on the Citizens to get an easy three points in that game. Chelsea were able to look stubborn the last time they met because it was at the Stamford bridge and you'd agree with me that there's this confidence you get when you're playing at home; maybe they wanted to thrill the fans; and I bet you they did just that but hoping they will repeat such a feat tomorrow is something I'd tell them early to wake up from because KDB is back and looking to make Chelsea's day blue tomorrow.

It's really crazy seeing how the odd difference is between Manchester city and Chelsea this weekend. Manchester city has a very low odd of 1.32 and Chelsea has a staggering 7 odd which for me is really outrageous because Chelsea aren't good but I think Manchester city really found it difficult to win them at their last meeting although at that time Kevin de byrune wasn't available unlike now that he is back.

The odds speaks well and I don’t see a reason to see that odds as not correct for what we’ll be expecting to see in this match. Chelsea did have them a tough time in their earlier match in the premier league but checking on the stats of both teams now and how they’ve been performing in their most recent matches, you’ll be convinced that this odds is just perfectly okay.

Chelsea are inconsistent and their win always comes with a surprise but I don’t see a surprise in this their upcoming match with Manchester City. Manchester City are in top form now and still eyeing that first position, any lose now will cause them not to reach that first position earlier as they will be anticipating now. This match will be in favour of them and I don’t think Chelsea with their current form now can stop them from winning the match.

Of course, fans always hope that their favorite team wins the match, no fan hopes to lose. Yes, even though statistically there is quite a contrast between Chelsea and Man City, this depends on Pochettino's strategy to always take advantage of the smallest opportunities possible to convert them into goals. Historically, these two teams are big teams that have a good history, but for now we should wait and see whether Man City succeeds in upsetting Chelsea or vice versa.

This match will still be regarded as a big match regardless of each teams current form or their collective form now. Sometimes it is in this tough matches that the weaker teams show some expertise and give the other big team a difficult time to prevail against them. But as I have said before, this match will most likely end in favour of Manchester City because they are the better team in this fixture.

The only those who are willing to lose their money easily that will be taking chelsea as their bet. Im refraining my self from doing it. Chelsea has a very long way to go to be in the same level as manchester city. City will be playing with de bruyne and haaland. I see no point owned by chelsea to perform better in this game.
I think that city is likely dominating the game since the first half till the end of second half. Hard to believe if chelsea will able to prevent manchester city to get three points at etihad stadium. Losing with narrow score can be considered as great achievement from chelsea.
Im seeing manchester city is far superior compared to the chelsea. Chelsea was trying so hard in making the situation even better than before. city is back again to the best performance. Chelsea is nothing to the city.
Im sure that if city will be destroying chelsea, chelsea is just going on the trap and that's it. City has been fully preparing for the big match coz it has all of its key players back in the game again. No doubt that even klopp expressed his opinion if the scariest squad in the EPL has been back agai.
Manchester city will be unstoppablle with de bruyne and haaland to join in the squad again. This is gonna be another big test for chelsea soon.

Well City at this point are looking very unstoppable and only those who want to lose their money will have the simplest thought of betting on Chelsea. Chelsea are very poor currently and they can’t in anyway be compared to City. The team have her full squad back again and are also gunning for the league wouldn’t want to leave any stone unturned in their chase for the league. And Chelsea with the way they play don’t look like they’ll be a problem to City.

 Though the scoreline might not be quite much but What I’m sure is that City will be having full 3 points from this fixture because of how determined City is to having their fourth consecutive league title. Pep Guardiola would do every possible to try beat Chelsea, he knows what's at stake if he loses that game, therefore he'll make sure he come up with some tactics to beat them.

News coming in tonight on Twitter (X) that Alisson will miss the game against Brentford tomorrow due to a hamstring injury. Liverpool must have the worst medical department in the PL, so many muscle injuries.

That’s now Szoboszlai, Trent and Alisson out with hamstring injuries. Salah has also just returned from a hamstring injury. These aren’t unfortunate impact injuries, these are all hamstring injuries.

In the first leg in November at Stanford Bridge Chelsea came from behind to get a well deserve 4-4 draw against Man City thus we shouldn't write them off though they are still inconsistent in their performance in the league and many soccer analyst and pundits had already tip Man City to win, however I believe tomorrow match would be a different ball game because Chelsea would try to prove themselves so as to get a positive result and from my observation about Chelsea this season they usually play well against top team though Man City playing at the Etihad stadium is an advantage to the team but I believe Chelsea would give them a tough time and  a run for their money .

[hahay]

Arsenal can slowly return to the competition for the title, now they have the same points as Manchester City and are only 2 points away from Liverpool who have 24 points. With such a distance, of course Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League are still wide open.

This week they will travel to Burnley headquarters, this should be an easy match for them, because Burnley is one of the teams that have performed poorly this season and now they are in the relegation zone.

Although this is an away game for Arsenal, but still they are much stronger than Burnley.

However, if for example Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are consistent with full points in every match, but in reality Manchester City will succeed at being at the top of the standings. Because, even though Arsenal and Manchester City current points tally are the same but yes, in reality Manchester City still has an advantage because Manchester City still have one match postponed. Therefore, Manchester City actually has a better chance than Liverpool and Arsenal to be at the top of the Premier League standings this moment.

But yes, apart from that and regarding Arsenal next match, even though Arsenal is playing away, of course Arsenal will still be able to beat Burnley. The reason is, recently Arsenal has been very on fire because Arsenal managed to win with a big score and therefore, of course Arsenal will easily beat Burnley who are currently in the relegation zone.

That’s now Szoboszlai, Trent and Alisson out with hamstring injuries. Salah has also just returned from a hamstring injury. These aren’t unfortunate impact injuries, these are all hamstring injuries.

But like it's not an excuse for Klopp if some players have hamstring injuries Liverpool still have a good squad but the strikers are still OK maybe also Salah will appear even though it's not full time to play and try to recover better.

Liverpool can still overcome Brentford in this match so I predict Liverpool will win even though it's playing away but Brentford is currently in bad shape.

The news is that in the carabao cup final Szoboszlai and Arnold will be absent considering their hamstring injuries are quite severe.

[Stepstowealth]

Looks at the form of Kevin de bruyne and Phil Foden, they are firing in top form and Haaland hungry. Chelsea are done for! there is no way Manchester City will not win that game and possibly embarrass Chelsea in the process. Palmer will not perform, Pep knows his weakness and the exact player that can bully him. Manchester City will score many goals against Chelsea. Eyes will also be on West Ham to see if they can bounce back from their loss to Arsenal, they were humiliated, Nottingham Forest is not also an easy opponent for them, they may also loose in that game.

[rendravolt]

Good news came from Liverpool and this was confirmed directly by Jurgen Klopp that Mohamed Salah has returned to training and is ready for the next match. Mohamed Salah previously suffered an injury while at AFCON defending the Egyptian national team and upon returning to England he had gone through several series of injury recoveries. Jurgen Klopp is certainly happy with Mohamed Salah's return to the main squad and of course he can strengthen Liverpool's attack line again to win matches.

In this week's match against Brentford we will see whether Mohamed Salah appears from the start or comes on as a substitute in the second half because after recovering from injury it is very rare for a coach to be willing to take the risk of placing his key players from the starting line up. It is possible that if the results are superior, Jurgen Klopp will include Mohamed Salah and at the same time to warm up after the injury he suffered.

This will make the race becomes more exciting, the top 3 teams will have a chance to become a champion because they're perform very well recently and have many players, so they don't need to worry if their players are injured or suspended.

Based on the current line up, Salah isn't included in starting line up. It's a warm up match for him, I believe Liverpool will able to win without Salah.

There is no doubt that Mohamed Salah will not be able to appear as a starter, but this is an away match for Liverpool and I think Mohamed Salah's role is equally important if Liverpool encounters a deadlock. Apart from that, Mohamed Salah's performance is also not completely optimal and if he is forced to play from the early minutes it will only increase the risk of his injury recurring.

Certainly Jurgen Klopp doesn't want that to happen again and like what happened to Thiago Alcantara previously, who suffered another injury after just recovering, of course that would be a big blow for the Liverpool squad. Brentford might be quite difficult and even though their chances are quite slim, Liverpool have to conquer it from the start of the match and don't get too used to winning late because even though it is good, sometimes it has a higher risk if the results are not achieved.

Common man with the full squad of Manchester city back, I don't think Chelsea actually stands a chance to get a win over Manchester city atleast the best that can happen in favor of Chelsea would be a draw and that's if de byrune fails to make Harland find the net because I know for sure that if Kevin plays that game Chelsea are totally done for it.

Arsenal can slowly return to the competition for the title, now they have the same points as Manchester City and are only 2 points away from Liverpool who have 24 points. With such a distance, of course Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League are still wide open.

This week they will travel to Burnley headquarters, this should be an easy match for them, because Burnley is one of the teams that have performed poorly this season and now they are in the relegation zone.

Arsenal is still joining the race of the title, the point gap with Man City and Liverpool is quite small. Even, the point gap with Man City is the same now (City has 1 unplayed match). If Arsenal can play consistently to get 3 points in each match, they must have the chance to return to the 1st place in the future. There are still many big matches in the future, including the match against Man City. Arsenal must get the full points in these matches if they want to return to the top of EPL standings.

It should be an easy match against Burnley. Moreover, Burnley stats looks very badly in the last 5 matches. They got 3 loses and 2 draws, they never got a win. I'm sure Arsenal will easily destroy them with many goals. It is the chance to shorten the point gap, Arsenal mustn't miss the chance for 3 points in the next match.

[marcous]

However, if for example Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are consistent with full points in every match, but in reality Manchester City will succeed at being at the top of the standings. Because, even though Arsenal and Manchester City current points tally are the same but yes, in reality Manchester City still has an advantage because Manchester City still have one match postponed. Therefore, Manchester City actually has a better chance than Liverpool and Arsenal to be at the top of the Premier League standings this moment.

But yes, apart from that and regarding Arsenal next match, even though Arsenal is playing away, of course Arsenal will still be able to beat Burnley. The reason is, recently Arsenal has been very on fire because Arsenal managed to win with a big score and therefore, of course Arsenal will easily beat Burnley who are currently in the relegation zone.

Manchester City opportunity to overtake Liverpool at the top of the standings is very open, but with the condition that they are able to secure full points in the match against Chelsea. A match of fate, of course Manchester City's fate is more interesting to pay attention to, because Chelsea fate this season is very tragic. Acting as host makes Pep fleet chances of getting three points easier, because they will get full support from their own fans.

If Pep manages to finish the match against Chelsea by securing full points, then the next scenario is to finish the postponed match against Brentford and have to secure full points again, to shift Liverpool from the top of the standings. The key to this success is in the match against Chelsea, Pep must be fully alert if he doesn't want to lose points, or be tripped up by the Blues.

Regarding Arsenal match against Burnley, I agree with you, that the Gunners can easily steal 3 points in the away match. Burnley needed a miracle to pull off a surprise, and their ambition to escape the degradation zone again had to be postponed. Arsenal is waiting for Man City and Liverpool to make mistakes, Arteta definitely doesn't want to swallow the bitter pill at the end like last season.
