Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Oluwa-btc]

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.

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.

[Miles2006]

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.

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.

[lalabotax]

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.

Indeed. People must predicted Man City to win the match. People mustn't predict the match to end up with a draw. Chelsea isn't in their good performance, it is also a home match for Man City. Theoretically, Man City should win the match and get 3 points from the match. Unfortunately, Man City must share the points with Chelsea. Chelsea succeed to steal a point in Man City home.

I really appreciated the way of Chelsea got the point. They played with under 30% ball possessions. Meanwhile Man City won above 70% ball possession, they also made 31 shots. Chelsea looked very great in defense, they could make Man City scoring 1 goal only.

What an incredible match done by Chelsea. and the results of the match were very disappointing for Man City. Really, with Man City's performance, with their continuous attacks, and their dominance in this match, in fact they were not able to penetrate Chelsea's goal well. only 1 Man City goal, which Chelsea actually took the lead. This really doesn't make sense. Chelsea defenders were incredible able to stop all the onslaught of attacks from Man City players. Just imagine, 31 shots, this is a lot, but only 1 goal. Are Man City's forward players too bad or is Chelsea's defense truly incredible? I really can't believe this, even Chelsea played more effectively here. Indeed, Man City's opportunity to immediately take over Liverpool's position was lost because of the result of this match.
But yeah, you are right, this is not the end of the struggle. There may be still any chances again later that they must be more able to do their best. On the other hand, They have to fight again and hope that Liverpool will lose once.

Liverpool and Arsenal fans who support Chelsea to win over Manchester City do not want Manchester City to win the Premier League again. For Manchester United fans, they will support Manchester City to win over Chelsea. Why? because if Liverpool win the primary league, of course they will get an additional trophy that will match their support team.
I'm laughing if most want that this season. Lol

Yep, next month will be a crucial month for Mancity where they will face to face with Liverpool, Manutd, and Arsenal.
Getting 9 points is a must if they want to become the Premier League winner in this season.
It will be awesome to see the 3 teams still race for the winner until May.

I happened to be one of the person's who speculated that Manchester city was definitely going to win Chelsea, I never expected they would end the game a draw again just like they did I'm their previous meeting and I was thinking Manchester city wouldn't want to permit much happening again.

Manchester city did had a full squad which was the reason most persons trusted and believe them and they had good performance in their most previous and recent games where they were able to win a few games and we're able to maintain a good position ahead of others and were in the table in a very good position, Chelsea still doesn't have a chance to be in the top four even after the draw against Manchester city, it really baffles me how they at almost every time this season are able to draw Manchester city.

Almost everyone will predict this because it refers to Chelsea's performance which is difficult to guess and with the condition of Manchester City, which is always superior, especially playing at home, it will definitely make the thoughts of a lot of bettors be on Manchester City in this match and I don't think it's a wrong thing even though the results are not too good and not too desirable for us.

Manchester City played so well that they even locked up the Chelsea players in half the field for 90 minutes of the match but in the end the tight defense by Chelsea made Manchester City hassle to penetrate the bus parking defense style they did in this match.

Poche realized that if they took more initiative in this match then the same score when Chelsea met Liverpool could have been repeated so they were better off playing it safe and in fact this scheme was successful in reducing the attacks made by Manchester City.

Oluwa-btc I bet you didn't believe that Chelsea will come out with this kind of performance do you? I think City is not really at their best this season as they have failed to win Chelsea team that is unstable since the beginning of the season both home and away that's a good record to the blues to be honest. Tonight I think I agree with you Haaland and Doku wasn't good in the game as they failed to do what was expected from them it's a disappointment.

Same here the whole crowd was actually in support of Chelsea to win the game and I noticed Arsenal fans cause they were large in number shouting the blues as they fondly call the Chelsea team over here I think they did that because their position in the league was at stake since a win for City would have made Arsenal to be 3rd in the league and also place Liverpool's position in a tight place since City has a game in hand. Did you experience the usual noise from the Chelsea fans when Raheem Sterling scored the goal in the first half, they shouted as if they have won the league 😂.

I think almost all of us think the same thing Manchester City will beat Chelsea because they want to be at the top of the standings but what happened was truly unexpected Manchester City only drew even Manchester City almost lost, fortunately Rodri scored in the 83rd minute. It seems that Liverpool is a little comfortable after seeing City just play draw this means that Liverpool are still safe for the next few weeks, Manchester City does have one match to play but even though they won in the match they were still one point behind.

Chelsea performance and result against Manchester City tonight is the least I expected of them and if I must be very honest, I think Chelsea have a future if the continue to stick with their current manager Mauricio Pochentino. Chelsea created more  clear chances than Manchester tonight but unfortunately, they failed to maximize their chances and that's why they left the Etihad stadium tonight without a win.

Since Kelvin De Bruyne returned from the injury that sidelined him for over four months, this was the first time Manchester City have failed to win a game and were few minutes away from losing before Rodri's goal helped them get a point from the game.

This year he is doing it. He was one of the best players of the day for Manchester City.

I don't think Chelsea problem was about the striker, they lack one but in this match, they didn't act like they lack one because midfielders were the ones that did the main job here, but truth to be told Manchester City were coming for them in every step they take. The only thing I was impressed about was that when Chelsea win their first goal, their defenders tight their position but we're tired in the last minutes again but the try to he honest.

I'm confused on how to describe Chelsea and Manchester City match. The first leg was 4-4, Manchester were hard on them but Chelsea were on ground until the end and now it's unbelievable for Chelsea to draw another important match against Manchester City, now I don't know why Chelsea don't put this kind of performance on other teams. If Manchester City could play at home like this and draw with the blues, then Chelsea don't have an excuse to be sleeping in number 10-11 Place in the table for the whole of the season.

Tonight was a remarkable one again for Liverpool who won they game with a 4 goals to 1 and also seeing that Manchester city draw with Chelsea make Liverpool position more secured with the present accumulated points on the league table for this season, many times our fear for Liverpool is is how close Manchester City was to them and what man city is capable of doing since there are the defending Champion for the premier leagues.

But with the records from the clubs performance in this weekend, its now clear that Liverpool is on the verge of creating a new record this season, after they have suffered alot of set back in the previous seasons despite they efforts to meet up with such rating in the premier leagues.

Getting 9 points from these three matches is totally impossible and i think the highest point they will be able to attain is a 3 point from Manchester United luckily. When it comes to playing against Arsenal. Am sure that Arsenal will Manchester City for the second time without stress these time. We all see how difficult it is for them to score today playing against Chelsea. Its becoming harder and tougher for Manchester City to win matches these days. Maybe other team now understand how they play and also know how to mark Haaland ad well. Also, Liverpool will win Manchester City if care is not taking. Liverpool is eager to take the EPL title home. And if they continue with there current performance no team will stop them.

I was unable to watch the first half of the English Premier League game between Manchester City and Chelsea but watched the actions of the second half in full and all I can say is that Chelsea's failure to win that particular game tonight was caused by their approach to the game in the dying minutes.
Manchester City as we all know has been the best attacking team in the English Premier League for the past one year and there's no way you'll be leading them by just one goal and decide to sit back and defend the goal instead of pushing them on attack. Erling Haaland missed so many opportunities in the game which I don't know why he was unable to live up the expectations of the club fans

[ShowOff]

Well, you're right. I am disappointed with the result of the match, but this is not the end of it. Thinking about how to improve it is better than regretting it, that's what Pep Guardiola must do in every next match. I saw Haaland frustrated in this match and several times he failed to convert his chances into goals, but I hope he will soon return to his best performance.

The next match is against Brentford, in that match Manchester City must win. There is no reason to lose or lose points, otherwise Liverpool will be more comfortable at the top of the standings. Today Liverpool and Arsenal both won their respective matches, they got better especially when Manchester City dropped points.

[Sexylizzy2813]

The game is becoming more interesting than I imagined and I quite agree with you that City really want to win this game to be in the title race but with the way things are going I'd want Chelsea to keep the pressure coming. City can absorb pressure but I don't feel this is the kind of pressure they're ready to face.

Truly the match is going the way I had predicted on my previous post that Chelsea has a big history with Manchester City because no matter how poor there performance may be but whenever they meet Manchester City there performance immediately improve, so actually I saw this coming but I never knew Chelsea will actually be the first to score Manchester City and even holding them to 1-0 till the end of the first half, funny enough Manchester City has the highest possession on the first half but still Chelsea was able to score the first goal but however I have a strong feeling that Manchester City will likely equalize on the second half because that's how there both matches normally end up, perhaps this match reminds me of there last meeting when everybody was thinking Manchester City could easily win Chelsea because of there bad performance but it became surprising to everyone with the way Chelsea almost outperform Manchester City by holding them to a draw, so that's exactly how this match will likely play.

I also noticed that whenever Chelsea come against the smaller clubs they do struggle but when it has to do with the big boys you see them (Chelsea) playing with everything they have and it will be as if they're that good but after that game you'd see them back to their poor performance.
The game ended in a draw 1-1 and I think Chelsea did very well, played without fear and if Jackson had converted that one on one I think it would have been 1-2 but still on still VAR would have awarded that last minute hand ball in the 18 yard box as a penalty so is better it ended this way (1-1).
Pochettino has every right to take all blame in this game for playing out a draw, as a coach you know you're playing against the best why on earth did you drop your best players on the bench and you start bringing them when the opponent have reduce 50% of the pressure they were facing?
To me I was expecting Pochettino to start his best and even let them play till full time, a player like Mudryk who likes running forward and also back to the defense line to help defend the ball, he has better options but he just killed the attacking force of Chelsea.

[Leviathan.007]

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.

Arsenal didn't lose anything yet because they are still racing at the top of the premier league with other teams like Liverpool and Manchester City but I think still they have to work harder because so far Arteta and his player lost many points and recently can't have good performance in the games we saw from them while Manchester City is getting better than before and Liverpool is not going to give up easily to other teams because it's the last season for Klopp in this team to achieve the title with Liverpool.

[Adams0001]

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.

This year he is doing it. He was one of the best players of the day for Manchester City.

I'm quite astonished over today's game between Manchester City and Chelsea. How can Manchester City share a point with Chelsea, such a fantastic performance by Chelsea players today Liverpool will have more opportunities to win the Premier League title this time, because I don't believe they will be able to catch Liverpool in the top spot again with the way they are playing they don't have time to play weak games that will result in a draw or a loss. Guadiola was dissatisfied with the draw against Chelsea, and although they are at home Chelsea has the opportunity to score a goal in the encounter. If it wasn't for Rodri, I believe they would have lost the game. Both the first and second legs were drawn. Chelsea plays a weak game with other clubs but when they meet big club they perform well. I'm waiting for the Liverpool game to play the second leg against Manchester City so I can find out who will get the opportunity to win the league championship.
