Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[DanWalker]

Arsenal will play Burnley away in a few minutes. Burnley were sensationally promoted to the Premier League with Vincent Kompany. But they didn't get what they hoped for in the Premier League. They haven't won six games in a row. They're going through a terrible period. And they could be relegated at the end of this season. On the other hand, Arsenal have been winning in recent weeks. In their last game, they beat West Ham United 6-0. The betting odds on Arsenal to win are a bit low. But I think it's a good odds because Arsenal are the clear favorites in this match.

It seems that Burnley is in an impossible situation at the moment because the best player and family mainstay, Vincent Kompany, will not take to the field because he is still recovering from an injury he suffered in the previous match. Currently, Vincent Kompany can probably only sit on the bench and watch his friends play on the field in the hope of playing as well as possible and of course winning this match.
However, we know that the Arsenal team has a big chance of winning if you look at the performance and success they have achieved so far.
In football betting, of course many people support Arsenal over Burnley. that is for sure.
However, whatever the final result, we all don't know yet, that while this match was still going on and Arsenal in the first half had shown that their team could not be beaten easily by the Burnley squad, and the first goal was contributed. . by M degraad in the 4th minute for Arsenal's lead. and it is possible that this could be put to good use by Arsenal players to be able to score more goals.

Arsenal leads the game with one goal against burnley. According to the result from the statistic if burnley faces difficult in breaking arsenal's defensive line. It can be seen from zero goal attempt against arsenal till now. Honestly, burnley's level was too far compared to the arsenal.
This club may be relegated again soon. sheffield and burnley was performing so badly this season. Burnley is just getting promoted this season and it will back again to the championship division which is very bad result for the club.
I wonder why don't club try to sign a new coach to handle the club? It will far better rather than always peg on the kompany to handle the squad. May be the financial problem prevents burnley to get a new coach who can help club to go up.
Ez bet for anyone who took arsenal in this game. Arsenal is now destroying burnley.

At the end of the first half, the Arsenal team is leading 2-0. Arsenal must continue their winning streak if they want to continue fighting for the title. Losing points in any match will knock the team out of the title race. Even if they win today's match, Arsenal will be 2 points behind Liverpool.

Burnley is not a strong team. Burnley is a team in the relegation zone. And their defense is very weak. And Arsenal players are making good use of this opportunity. Arsenal is attacking from the first minute of the match. Odegaard scored in just 4 minutes. And in the 41st minute, Saka scored from a penalty to give Arsenal a 2-0 lead.

I think Saka would score another goal in the second half.
Arsenal leading is just a sign of their continued top spot position, else, when Manchester city plays tonight, their chances of finishing top would be totally bleak, that's if Manchester city gets to win. Manchester city still has an outstanding match to play and so far, it has been very difficult to win this top tier  club.

I seriously don't know what's wrong with Westhampton united right now, because I can almost bet they would get to loose thier match or draw on every weekend and it would deliver exactly as predicted.

Arsenal won big 5-0 today. Saka scored two goals. Odegaard, Hervertez and Trossad scored one goal each. Arsenal's overall gameplay was very good. Even though Burnley's home match, Burnley's players don't get a chance to attack well. Arsenal dominated and won the match.
Manchester City team failed to win the match against Chelsea. The match is a draw. Therefore, Manchester City cannot occupy the second place in the table. Manchester City team is now 2 points behind Arsenal. City will play against Brentford in the next match. If they win this match, City will be able to occupy the second place in the table.

In the end, Manchester City got 1 point from the match. Rodri Hernandez's goal drew the match 1-1.
Manchester City players dominated the match and there is no doubt that City played very well. A lot of attacks have been managed by City players. But the performance of Chelsea's defenders surprised me today. I haven't seen such a composed performance from Chelsea's defense in a long time. Chelsea's overall gameplay has improved. The bonding between the Chelsea players is also very strong now. For this reason, even after performing well, Manchester City players are not able to score more than one goal.

Chelsea improved in defense in this match and they were very good at closing down space in their defense. Manchester City dominated the attack and they made 31 shots, but unfortunately only 5 shots were on target. Haaland failed to take advantage of several opportunities, but this may not have been his luck. Basically, Manchester City deserves to win their home games rather than lose points, but Pochettini has so far succeeded in stopping Manchester City in two matches which ended 4-4 and 1-1.

As a result, Liverpool and Arsenal were ultimately happy because of this result. They hoped that Chelsea could help and finally this wish came true. Pep Guardiola doesn't seem to have any other options on the left wing other than just relying on Doku, he held the ball for too long without increasing many opportunities from his individual skills.

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.

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.

Whenever you see some players like De Bruyne and Haaland are in good form and they had good performance in Manchester City you can expect to see perfect performance from this team. Manchester City was getting far from the top of the table and they had been having bad performances recently in the premier league and even other teams like Arsenal and Tottenham got better results in the first games but since De Bruyne backed in the field they are again backed to the good form.

In the end, Manchester City got 1 point from the match. Rodri Hernandez's goal drew the match 1-1.

Nobody expected Manchester City to lose points. At least in my circle, no one made such a prediction. We know that the Premier League is a very competitive league and we know that there will always be matches like this. No match is won without playing, and today Chelsea showed this to football fans. Before the game I didn't think Chelsea could get a point and I knew City needed this win to win the title. City lost points in this match and suffered a great loss in the race.

Chelsea's goal was scored in the 42nd minute and City could not do what they wanted because they did not react early to this goal. Manchester City should not lose points like this in their home matches.

[QueenVera]

The performance from chelsea was totally unpredictable and i must say that if this club was performing so amazing since the first half. The second half has not yet ended but chelsea has been threatening manchester city many times. I do see that some chances were missed caused by the players were not in the right position/.
It can be said that if chelsea has been trying so hard in defending from chelsea. The main weakness from the team that was playing offensive was defensive low block. It's caused by playing offensively will be putting the club in the big gambling.
Sometimes, manchester city;'s defenders were not ready. This is also making the situation even more difficult when city was failed in attacking chelsea. Pochettino has been using 433 defensive. I think that if chelsea can keep to play like this till the end of second half.
In my opinion, chelsea has been trying so hard since the start of game. I think that chelsea has been doing a lot of improvements. this is good when pochettino was not putting the players not in their actual position.
City is still trying so hard to break the wall. The quality players were making city find it so difficult to break it.

Well Chelsea has really surprised us as the way they’ve performed in the first half and still performing. Well I think if they keep up like this then they might probably get the win. With this kind of stellar performance then I think the team has now Improved to a certain level. The way these boys attack and defend in unism is one that must be commended. They really tried in defending well and even scoring the opener.

 They’re all eagler to get this win so as to get off 10th position on the log and with this impressive performance, I’m very confident that they’ll get the 3 points and it’s very well deserved. The players just need to hang on a little and keep playing together as now Manchester City are now very much active to get at least a draw. And definitely the match ended in a draw.

Kudos to Chelsea for putting in a superb performance against the defending champions of the league. They were able to defend their one goal till the 82nd minutes of the game after Rodri took a tremendous strike that went straight to hit one of Chelsea's defenders Dasisi into the back post of Chelsea's net.

A draw is a good result for both clubs as City struggled throughout before they were able to equalize the goal in the last ten minutes of the game. This season Chelsea was able to play City like no any other club and both matches ended draw at home and away.

[hahay]

By the way, again and again West Ham failed to get points in this week's match, even though West Ham played away against Nottingham who are in the bottom zone of the standings but the result was still a bad result for West Ham at this moment. I don't know what actually happened in the West Ham squad after West Ham success in beating Manchester United and Arsenal, but after that success West Ham experienced a decline in performance and got bad results, causing West Ham position in the standings to continue to decline.

Even though yes, previously West Ham had been in the top six but for some reason, West Ham quickly experienced bad results like this. Because after all, I think West Ham's main squad is still fine, meaning, not many key players are injured, or maybe Moyes is no longer able to build a good performance. If Moyes experiences failure like this then ya, I'm afraid Moyes will be fired in the near future or maybe West Ham will appoint a new coach for next season.

I agree with you. It was unexpected that Manchester City would lose points in this match. Chelsea were not weak opponents. But Manchester City have played very well in their last matches and won. City players played very well against Copenhagen in the Champions League match as well. And the most important thing is that in the last matches we have seen De Bruyne has been in great form and has scored in almost every match. Even then, City could not win today's match. We haven't seen a better performance from Haaland. If Haaland played well, Manchester City could have won. Haaland made a total of 9 shots in today's match. On the other hand, Chelsea's entire team made 9 shots.

Kudos to Chelsea for putting in a superb performance against the defending champions of the league. They were able to defend their one goal till the 82nd minutes of the game after Rodri took a tremendous strike that went straight to hit one of Chelsea's defenders Dasisi into the back post of Chelsea's net.

A draw is a good result for both clubs as City struggled throughout before they were able to equalize the goal in the last ten minutes of the game. This season Chelsea was able to play City like no any other club and both matches ended draw at home and away.

Of course, Chelsea have extra motivation when they play against teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham or Manchester United. Meanwhile, Chelsea appeared like a mediocre team against teams like Wolves, Brentford, Nottingham and others. I really didn't expect this draw because Manchester City's chances of winning their home game were very high, but what happened instead was a draw.

A draw not good for Manchester City, who hoped to lead the standings, but their plans were thwarted by Chelsea, who looked prestige to lose to Manchester City. Once again Manchester City lost points to their own former player, this time Sterling was the culprit.

If Moyes experiences failure like this then ya, I'm afraid Moyes will be fired in the near future or maybe West Ham will appoint a new coach for next season.

West Ham have not experienced any changes to their squad and they still use the same players at the start of the season but it will be quite curious why this team continues to fail to win. Against Nottingham shouldn't be difficult for them and even if they play away they should still be able to win. However, what we see is the opposite, here Nottingham managed to excel and even made West Ham not move at all.

It looks like there is a serious problem in David Moyes' squad and this problem has not been resolved for weeks. If it continues like West Ham, it will be easier to overtake teams like Brighton or Chelsea who have a narrow gap from them at the moment. David Moyes is definitely starting to get a warning since this consecutive defeat and it is important to remember that in the last 5 matches he has failed to give West Ham a win so far. The situation will get hotter and dismissal could happen at the end of the season.

Manchester City was getting far from the top of the table and they had been having bad performances recently in the premier league and even other teams like Arsenal and Tottenham got better results in the first games but since De Bruyne backed in the field they are again backed to the good form.

However, we also saw how well Chelsea schemed in this match where they knew that matching Manchester City's performance and ball power could be a mistake and they looked for other options by continuing to defend and only looking for quick counter-attacks to use as weapons.
The result was still very good, Manchester City were troubled by the defence carried out by Chelsea in this match which made them only able to secure 1 point.
Honestly, I don't really like this result but indeed when talking about Chelsea it is difficult to predict because they are very difficult to guess which makes a match end even not according to our expectations.

This is a positive thing for Chelsea only not too good for Manchester City because with this match I think they are looking for 3 points to continue to compete at the top of the standings.

[Mr.suevie]

I don't understand how Manchester city ended the first half of the game without a goal and Chelsea was able to win the first half of the game and it was now looking to me like Manchester city is not playing their best enough and may want the event of the first lewg repeating itself again and if does happen it's not going to bwa good record for them.

In the second half of the game I'm hoping to see a better performance from Manchester city alongside goals to get ahead of Chelsea because I see Manchester city to have a better team than Chelsea and even in a better form in this game than Chelsea is , I'm very optimistic that Manchester city will get an equalizer andget ahead of Chelsea in this game I'm not expecting anything less than a victory from Manchester city in this game so they will further keep the chase behind Liverpool if they are hoping to win t eh trophy this season.

Look at chelsea's strategy. Pochettino was using the right strategy to face the big club. I do like chelsea to use low block strategy instead of playing openly against the big team. This is also giving chelsea the bigger chance to score through direct counter attack. Putting chelwell as right back was making city feel so difficult to break it.
The attack was always focused on doku. The main problem is doku's pattern can be predicted easily. His dribbling method was very monoton. It can be seen through seeing his foot. The match has been coming to the end of game. I think that chelsea played better.
Even if the result will be draw and i see chelsea as a winner. Chelsea needs to keep the game till it will end soon. Rodri has been helping the club to equalize the score. chelsea needs to make sure there will be no goal to happen for city.
Sending palmer out from the club has been decreasing ability owned by chelsea to do counter attack. This is the main problem for chelsea now. Club needs to make sure it will be able to build another wall again.

Chelsea really surprised me today despite the odd that was given to them because the bookmakers made it look as of this Chelsea team would stand no chance at all and despite that they had a good fight and Manchester city managed to score an equalizer that took the game to be a draw match and that's mean Manchester city have failed to win Chelsea this season despite the fact that they were clear favorite on the game and this also will build more pressure as the league is red hot and Liverpool is also on them.

Pochettino substitutes in the second half really backfired he removed his workaholic attackers who had caused more problem for Man City defenders the pacy trio of Palmer, Sterling and Jackson performed brilliantly and combined well  though lost two glaring opportunities that could have seal the match, however credit must be given to.chelsea against all odds proved many soccer analyst and pundits wrong who had already tipped Man City to win convincingly but trailed Chelsea in most duration of the match till 83th when they scored the equalizer and the match ended in a 1-1 draw similar to their first which also ended 4-4.

[Cryptomultiplier]

Surprisingly, Chelsea was able to take the lead against Manchester City until the 77th minute. Raheem Sterling's goal in the 42nd minute still stood with 15 minutes remaining in the game. This was a result that was beyond predictions. Chelsea were able to take the lead while Manchester City, who were the favorites, were able to win easily.
Even though they were able to control the game and excel in possession of the ball, Manchester City still had difficulty scoring goals with 10 minutes remaining in the match, it would be very interesting if the score remained and Chelsea was able to beat Man City, the primary league battle would become even more interesting.

Sincerely I was hoping Chelsea would retain all three points and leave nothing to Manchester city because if Manchester city had the chance to win and also win their outstanding match, am very sure no other team in the EPL would overtake them to the title, making it a back to back win for them and a chance of returning to the UCL ahead of Girona which is their sister club in the Spanish league with same owner.

The game between Manchester City and Chelsea came as a huge surprise to me because I never anticipated that Manchester City would share points with Chelsea, especially considering Manchester City's usual dominance, particularly when playing at home. Given their current performance compared to Chelsea's, I had expected Manchester City to easily secure a win. At this level of competition, where every match is crucial in the race for the Premier League title, such unexpected results can significantly impact a team's chances.

With this draw, Manchester City's chancing of winning the title is reducing, and the competition for the Premier League crown is becoming even more intense. The points difference between the top three teams is now very close, adding to the uncertainty and excitement of the title race. Overall, this unexpected outcome highlights the unpredictability and competitiveness of football at the highest level, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as the season progresses.

[baeva]

Manchester City will definitely try to win the home match against Chelsea. But Chelsea are probably playing for a draw. Chelsea players played defensive strategy today. Manchester City players made 5 shots in 20 minutes. City had 68% ball possession.

Chelsea have had some good chances, with Jackson having the clearest chance of the game but missed it because he hesitated in taking a one touch shot. Chelsea have not totally been dominated, they are not not afraid to attack and that has put Manchester City. If this game ends in the first half with no goals, Chelsea would have lost their opportunity to score because Manchester City will come back stronger. If Chelsea losses this game, I will blame Nicholas Jackson because he should have scored that goal to see the mode for Chelsea. Early goals have a way of influencing the outcome of games.

Chelsea lead 1-0 at the end of the first half. This surprised me a lot. Manchester City played very well. Even then, they could not break Chelsea's defense. Chelsea did not attack at all. However, they made several counterattacks. And Sterling managed to score a goal. Manchester City dominated the first half. They made 14 shots. Even then they could not score a single goal. Chelsea played a defensive strategy in this match. And now it looks like Chelsea will not lose the match. The match will be a draw or Chelsea will win. Chelsea's defenders are playing very well in today's match.

Chelsea has high fighting power against top teams, I was surprised by that. Man City actually controlled the statistics, but unfortunately nothing could be converted into a goal in the first half.
It looks like Man City will attack Chelsea more in the second half to catch up on their goals so they can still secure their position in the EPL table. Quite a difficult match, considering that Man City has had some very good last matches.

It was an entertaining match, in fact Manchester City dominated almost everything but couldn't get a goal until late in the second half. I am very surprised by Chelsea's performance, they had success in defence and it all seems like a case where they can play well against top teams but play poorly against average teams or outsiders, there is clearly something wrong with them

[Google+]

Kudos to Chelsea for putting in a superb performance against the defending champions of the league. They were able to defend their one goal till the 82nd minutes of the game after Rodri took a tremendous strike that went straight to hit one of Chelsea's defenders Dasisi into the back post of Chelsea's net.

A draw is a good result for both clubs as City struggled throughout before they were able to equalize the goal in the last ten minutes of the game. This season Chelsea was able to play City like no any other club and both matches ended draw at home and away.

Chelsea often play well when facing other big teams, and this draw was actually very detrimental to Manchester City. Pep Guardiola is targeting full points in this home match, so he can overtake Liverpool at the top of the standings after completing the postponed match against Brentford. Automatically, Arsenal, who won the match versus Bunley, moved up to second place temporarily. For Liverpool, the existing point difference is not completely safe, because Manchester City has the opportunity to climb back to second place if they get an additional three points in the postponed match.

For Chelsea, this additional point meant they managed to stay in the top ten of the standings. The success of Pochettino squad in holding Manchester City to a draw was beyond expectations. On the other hand, if Chelsea were able to maintain their concentration at the end of the second half and secure full points, they could move up two places to 8th in the standings. Chelsea chances of playing in European competition next season are very slim, and a draw against Mancester City made Liverpool and Arsenal lucky.

I never predicted such a result before the game. Manchester City lost very important points at home today. Chelsea could have won this game if they had more talented strikers. I liked Rodri's performance for Manchester City, he comes on at critical moments and does important things for his team. Last year Ilkay Gundogan was doing this kind of things. This year he is doing it. He was one of the best players of the day for Manchester City.

Good one tonight, at least they've not been beaten this season by Manchester City. Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku both flopped in the game today.
It didn't look like Chelsea has missed a player like Recce James because, Gusto has been up amd going and also very consistent with the club and the squad.
Disasi has been nothing but great tonight, he did struggled at the first half of the season, but he has adapted in a way.

Both Liverpool and Arsenal fans supporting ans backing Chelsea made me laugh! Anyways, I don't want Manchester City to win the Premier League Competition lol.

[Coyster]

Another big game that City have failed to win in the EPL this season, they have not been doing too well against the big teams this season and that is prolly something that Pep must set right. The first leg against Chelsea ended 4-4, the reverse fixture this evening ended 1-1, two very unexpected results, and i must commend Chelsea, nobody gave them a chance in either fixtures and they proved a point by not losing any of their games against City.

Having said that, i know City fans are very disappointed, but this is not the end of the world for them, they are still close to the summit and have a game in hand, but they just cannot drop too many points from now on.

We know that the Premier League is a very competitive league and we know that there will always be matches like this. No match is won without playing, and today Chelsea showed this to football fans. Before the game I didn't think Chelsea could get a point and I knew City needed this win to win the title. City lost points in this match and suffered a great loss in the race.

Chelsea's goal was scored in the 42nd minute and City could not do what they wanted because they did not react early to this goal. Manchester City should not lose points like this in their home matches.

The game between Manchester City and Chelsea came as a huge surprise to me because I never anticipated that Manchester City would share points with Chelsea, especially considering Manchester City's usual dominance, particularly when playing at home. Given their current performance compared to Chelsea's, I had expected Manchester City to easily secure a win. At this level of competition, where every match is crucial in the race for the Premier League title, such unexpected results can significantly impact a team's chances.

With this draw, Manchester City's chancing of winning the title is reducing, and the competition for the Premier League crown is becoming even more intense. The points difference between the top three teams is now very close, adding to the uncertainty and excitement of the title race. Overall, this unexpected outcome highlights the unpredictability and competitiveness of football at the highest level, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as the season progresses.

I actually thought city will dominate during the second half but Chelsea had a lot of pressure today to withstand the force, during the second half Manchester city really dominated and surprising they could not score an extra goal, the time duration caused everything cause if they had an extra more time of which is impossible they would have score an extra goal, I really felt the impact city boys put into the match to secure 3 points cause they can't afford to lose the game now  but it was still not enough to win the game.
Arsenal at the other hand are back to the winning ways and seeing Arteta doing an excellent job as a young coach is amazing. Right now let's watch what will happen next and Arsenal right now can't afford to share any point or lose that's why they need to be careful, I don't know what's next for Liverpool cause they're also competing so hard. The competition is so tough.
