Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Warkop]

Unfortunately, Manchester United failed to win this match because when in the last minute Fulham managed to take advantage of Manchester United's defense which was starting to weaken and the match ended with a defeat for Manchester United, this was a very fatal mistake because they were not able to take advantage of the winning opportunity properly, I'm sure Erik ten Hag was very disappointed with this result.

In my opinion, losing this match was very embarrassing for Manchester United, and they should have won this match, because this match took place at home, this should be a big advantage for Manchester United. Moreover, the opponents they faced were not too difficult, this could all be seen from their game, Manchester United was superior to Fulham and Manchester United carried out many attacks on Fulham's goal. However, unfortunately the Manchester United attackers were unable to take advantage of the opportunities that occurred properly so they failed to score a goal. Erik ten Hag should look for a replacement for Garnacho and Rashford, because I see that these two players do not make a good contribution in every match. If this continues, I am sure that in the future Manchester United will perform badly from their attack line.

I have been notice this Sunday there is a derby match between Manchester City vs Manchester United and i think this match is really interested to watched because the atmosphere of the derby will always be heat because both teams don't want to lost but unfortunately Manchester United not in the good shape because they had just lost from Fulham last week and for Manchester City too although their performance is quite stable compared to Manchester United but they have a problem with their goals productivities and in the last 2 matches Manchester City only able to win with narrow scores from weak teams

Actually as a Liverpool fans i want Manchester United can able to overcomes Manchester City and last season Manchester United actually has been done it that at Etihad stadium they can able to win 2-0 from Manchester City but seems for now it will be so hard to be realized because Manchester United is not in the good conditions and lost some players who got injured makes their performance is return to unstable for Manchester City the return of De Bruyne and Haaland makes Manchester City is really in the good conditions now and according to the predictions Manchester City has 74 % winning rates and the bookmakers provide low odds for Manchester City @1.32

Derby matches always have their importance and as a Liverpool fan, we will always want Man U to be dominant from starting and put some pressure on Pep players. You do not disagree with the Man City team their potential and their skills and as a football enthusiast, you must say the game should be at its best no matter who wins and who loses.

[imamusma]

The twist is that City trail Liverpool and are just one point ahead of Arsenal after the easy part of the second half of the tournament. City has games ahead with: United, Liverpool, Brighton, Arsenal, Aston Villa. A very tough series and I think that the fate of the title will be decided here. If City lose a lot of points here they will lose the title. In a personal meeting with Liverpool or Arsenal, defeat will also be equivalent to losing the title.

Manchester City upcoming games are crucial, with their next five matches potentially determining the rest of their season. This is a very difficult challenge, testing their strength against some strong opponents. Dropping points could have a significant impact on their title defence. Brighton might be considered an easy opponent, Liverpool and Arsenal are direct competitors for the title, while the competition with Manchester United cannot be underestimated. Nevertheless, Manchester City have proven to retain their main strengths from last season, and they have the potential to repeat their success.

Similar pressure also applied to Liverpool and Arsenal during this period, and both teams also had ambitions to win trophies. Jurgen Klopp, who is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, could use that as motivation for his team. Meanwhile Arteta, who has built a deeper squad, is looking to avoid a repeat of dropping points as the season draws to a close. Every team competes to get additional points, I am sure Pep Guardiola has a strategy to overcome this obstacle and wants to repeat last season success.

For me this derby lost it's quality and importance about 4 seasons ago, is no longer interesting as it used to be where we see both teams struggling to get that dominance, you see that pride on the faces of both teams, this time we see a one sided play with Manchester City dominating the game from the kick off till full time, is not fun to always watch except for those who only want to see Man UTD lose again.
Well, this encounter has so much at stake with Liverpool and Arsenal waiting to see the unexpected to happen like City dropping point to reduce the pressure or maybe remove the Citizens from the title race.
To me Manchester United are not capable of getting the job done for Liverpool and Arsenal because they (United) have not gotten their house in order and this game won't be an easy one, we just have to see another humiliation if they (Manchester United) don't play as a unit.

It seems that Westham did not encounter any significant obstacles in this match. They have complete dominance over the match. Indeed, they conceded 1 goal, but Westham didn't let that happen and continued to put pressure on Brentford. This time, the position is 4 - 1. So there is no doubt that Westham will win this match. Meanwhile, the match has started and is in the 76th minute.

When we take a look on the bad results West Ham United had in the previous games and how good result they have right now, I wonder whether Manchester United deserve their place or not. Same goes for Brighton and Hove Albion.
Brentford aren't well too. 15 defeats including this one while they had only 9 in the previous season and they are approaching the relegation zone even though I doubt they will relegate but it is risky to continue like that..

We currently have these two Manchester United and West Ham as worst teams in top most defeats and both are also only teams which are having goals tally in 0 and - which is surely shameful for them and with their performance I have feeling most chances they could be now out of the UEFA connections because their performance is surely not deserve their places into these events even in last game West Ham done good job but still we can't give them any chance for having better result in coming game against Everton which is now also having better performance and spot as well after cut of deduction points.

Brentford is surely another team which having worst ever performance as now they are in last five and their chances for the survival are still good, but their performance in last few games not deserve their place into Premier League, hopefully they will do something improved in coming games.

To demand more from Manchester United, you first need to rebuild the team. Ten Hag brought a lot of young players who are simply not capable of fighting for victory in the Premier League, they have no experience. In my opinion, everything is clear here, eight points to Aston Villa, and no matter how much they would like it, they will not be able to finish the season in the top 4, it is quite possible that Manchester United will even be left without European cups this season.

And I don’t know if it makes sense to keep Ten Hag in the team, he’s not a bad coach, but his methods are clearly not suitable for winning the Premier League.

If compared to last season, it can be said that Manchester United failed to perform better this season regardless of what Ten Hag did in the transfer market, but what happened this season is far from management's target.

Now it has been proven that the Manchester United team is not making better progress, so Ten Hag is considered a failure and he should not be able to be retained anymore because if management continues to force Ten Hag then the Manchester United team will not develop.

As for the possibility of Manchester United finishing in the top 4 this season, I think it is very difficult, firstly they are far behind and secondly, in terms of performance, it is impossible for Manchester United to be consistent in order to catch up with them.

If this continues, I am sure that in the future Manchester United will perform badly from their attack line.

Theorically, what you said above was a sense thing but the fact showed the opposite thing. Rashford became so wasteful combined with a bad goal keeper which is always standing when the opponent was shoot the ball to go to the back on the net. This team is so crazy. Too many inconsistent players.
That's embarrassing result for manchester united. it reminds me when MU was missing casemiro and it made MU performed so badly and that story is repeating again now after hojlund injured then MU is having poor performance again. The lost against fulham is burderning the management and ten hag itself regarding his future on the club.

We are not experiencing unstable performance from manchester united but i will tell you now if manchester united will do some things. It will be selling so many players and surprisingly antony has included into the list or players to be sold.

here's the reports:

The winger joined from Ajax in the summer of 2022, signing for an eye-watering sum of £86 million ($109m) and amid much fanfare. But manager Erik ten Hag, who spearheaded the approach having managed him in the Netherlands, is yet to get the best out of him. With no goals or assists in 20 league games Antony has gone down as one of the worst signings in Premier League history. Indeed, the Daily Mail reports that United may finally be willing to admit their mistake and let him go.

Mu seems wanna try to overhaul the club. To be honest, the lost against fulham might give snowball effect not only for the players but for the ten hag itself. It likes what already said by garry nevilla on skysports

Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of West Ham's clash against Brentford on Monday, the former full-back explained: "If you look at the guy who's come in from City [Berrada] as CEO and then obviously they're looking to get Dan Ashworth in from Newcastle. They're going to make a decision [on Ten Hag] quite quickly, if they've not already. I suspect that [Sir] Jim Ratcliffe and Dave Brailsford already know whether they're going to keep Erik ten Hag as manager next season. I can't believe they're going to wait until May to make that decision and then leave themselves short.

https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/gary-neville-sir-jim-ratcliffe-man-utd-decision-erik-ten-hag-future/blt9705fb73124e9381

I think that that what neville said about the future of ten hag is true caused by the latest news reported that if MU has intrest to sign SIMEONE INZAGHI from intermilan.

The Premier League have set their sights on Simone Inzaghi as Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool have all started to explore a move for the Inter coach.

Manchester City upcoming games are crucial, with their next five matches potentially determining the rest of their season. This is a very difficult challenge, testing their strength against some strong opponents. Dropping points could have a significant impact on their title defence. Brighton might be considered an easy opponent, Liverpool and Arsenal are direct competitors for the title, while the competition with Manchester United cannot be underestimated. Nevertheless, Manchester City have proven to retain their main strengths from last season, and they have the potential to repeat their success.

Its not really crucial match for Manchester City, I don't think have quit well performance with Manchester United after losing from Fulham and United current performance is very bad and Manchester derby right now have significant difference since leaving by Sir Alex Ferguson. Under Pep Guardiola era, Manchester City always dominance in derby match and right now Manchester is blue not red any more after decreasing performance with Manchester United difficult keep in the tittle race and have many manger sacked but Manchester United is always weakness opponent for Manchester City.

For upcoming match in Premier League likely all top fourth teams not get much problem for securing three points, Manchester City vs Man United actually will easy for The Citizen. Liverpool seems easily get three points from Nott Forest, Arsenal will face Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa will continue the winning performance against Luton Town.

Manchester City next match will be against Luton so I think Manchester City are on the wining side because the kind of quality players they have there is no way they will not win the match and also Luton on the other hand is one of the weakest team on this season because right now there current position is not encouraging because they are still trying to remove themselves from the relegation zone and if Manchester city wins them on that match it will make there chances of escaping from the relegation more difficult. So if Manchester City win the match they will move to the first position of the table because there points and Liverpool are very close so if Liverpool lose any matches there hope of wining the league will be left hanging.

Yes it is a derby match and it's going to be epic. But if Liverpool fans are hoping on Manchester United to do any magic for them when Manchester United play Manchester City this weekend, I think they are counting on a dead horse. Manchester City will want to maintain their bragging right over the red devil's, so they will give their best to win that game with a good margin. Moreover it is a crucial time of the season and pep understand that losing to Manchester United will be a big blow to their quest of winning the EPL this season. I don't think Manchester United have a chance this weekend of taking a point out of the match.

Man Utd: Gary Neville believes Man Utd have already made a decision on Erik ten Hag's future

Gary Neville on Erik ten Hag's future at Man Utd under Sir Jim Ratcliffe: "I suspect they've already come to a conclusion already. It may already be that it's Champions League or not, they still will stick with that decision."

source: https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13081781/man-utd-gary-neville-believes-man-utd-have-already-made-a-decision-on-erik-ten-hags-future

England football expert Gary Alexander Neville believes that the Manchester United management has already reached a decision regarding the future of coach Ten Hag. We probably won't see Ten Hag back with Manchester United next season. However, it is not yet known who the Manchester United management will choose as an alternative to ten Hag. Zizou, aka ZInedine Zidan, is no longer the coach of any team. Would Zidan be interested in becoming United's coach if Manchester United offered Zidan the management offer? What do you thik about this?

[Plaguedeath]

Liverpool seems easily get three points from Nott Forest, Arsenal will face Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa will continue the winning performance against Luton Town.

It's no longer a derby, but just an ordinary match between a tough team vs weak team, so we already know who will win and who will lose. Manchester United will play without Hojlund, so it means they're become weaker, probably right now they're have a same strength like Luton Town.

In the upcoming week, there's no exciting match because all of them are big teams vs small teams.

Meanwhile Arteta, who has built a deeper squad, is looking to avoid a repeat of dropping points as the season draws to a close. Every team competes to get additional points, I am sure Pep Guardiola has a strategy to overcome this obstacle and wants to repeat last season success.

The EPL always have her own competition and this is one major reason why the league is still considered as the best league in Europe. The competition between the clubs helps the club up their game and this have a positive impact on how they perform im the Elite European Competition, the UCL and UEL. This kind of competition is what’s lacking in most leagues across Europe and that’s why we see clubs from those leagues not always achieving much when ot comes to European football. Healthy competition is what’s needed for football to grow as it breeds joy amongst the fans and also helps financially as you’ll get fans eager to watch their clubs play.

 Manchester City moved up to 2nd place and one point away from Arsenal who sits 3rd and 2 points behind league leaders Liverpool with a 1-0 win over Bournemouth at the weekend. The win was needed as it was the team’s way of putting more pressure on Liverpool who are the league leaders as they had a weekend off due to their league cup final with Chelsea over the weekend. Arsenal on the other end weren’t left out in the celebratory mood as they got all 3 points against Newcastle brushing them up by 4 goals to 1 at the Emirate Stadium. The win means these 3 teams are in a tight race and are all out to chase for the league and give it their all.

 I feel the main title challenge for City will begin by the weekend where in the next 5 fixtures, they’ll be playing their 2 league chasers and aslo Manchester United and Aston Villa too though Brighton isn’t considered to be one big opponent for City. Well these fixtures will be a big determinant to if City will be able to lift this trophy. The match against Manchester United and Brighton, I think should be easy wins for City judging from how much their players are better compared to these 2 sides. For Liverpool and Arsenal you can’t say same because the determination and pressure in these other sides are really high and the atmosphere looks positive. Well if City should get a loss to either Arsenal or Liverpool then I think they might not be able to challenge for the title. They should fight so hard to at least steal a draw as that could steal keep their hope alive while they wait for a slip from Arsenal and Liverpool due to the pressure.

[CryptoBuds]

West Ham are winless in their last 8 matches. The performance of the team was very poor. West Ham lost 3-0 against Manchester United and 6-0 against Arsenal. However, the team's performance against Brentford was good enough.

The Brentford team was not in good form. Their defense is weak. And this opportunity was well utilized by the West Ham players. West Ham's striker Jarrod scored the first goal in 5 minutes and another goal in just 2 minutes. West Ham was able to win this match because of Jarrod's great performance. Jarrod made a hat trick in this match. Although Brentford had several good attacks, the team conceded 4 goals due to poor defence.

There is nothing special in this match because West Ham has no hope in the rest of the season I mean West Ham only played while waiting for the season to end while they could not compete to get a place in the European League. At first I thought that this match would end in a draw because Brentford needed points to stay away from degradation but unfortunately they did not do it, now Brentford really has to struggle to take a safer position unfortunately Brentford  next opponent is Chelsea means that there is their potential to lose more points.

West Ham are currently eighth in the table. And I think at the end of the season we will see West Ham in seventh or eighth place in the table. The team has no chance of qualifying for the Europa League. The team is 8 points behind fifth-placed Tottenham.

West Ham's performance against Brentford was good. They managed to dominate the home match. If the players of West Ham could have done such a performance in the last 4/5 matches, then they would have had a chance to go to the fifth place in the table. The team has fallen far behind due to losing points in the last 6 matches. They have no chance of occupying the fifth place in the table.

[Solokan]

However Liverpool has proven that their squad has equal abilities so that even though there is a lot of player rotation because the main players are injured, it doesn't affect the team's performance.
Throughout this season Liverpool have shown consistency even though many of their main players have been injured, I think in the future they will also do the same.

To win the Premier League will of course be quite difficult and the competition is still very fierce, but Liverpool has a big chance of winning the title this season, now they are at the top of the standings and they also have strong strength.

Yes, indeed, Liverpool's strength cannot be taken lightly and Liverpool can be at the top of the standings, of course because of the cooperation of all the players because teamwork is of course very much needed, so now even though the players who are relied on at Liverpool, some of them are M.Salah they are not present due to injury, of course they are not. It has a big influence because the Liverpool squad all have very good players and also of course because the coach can also make good strategies so in this case of course Klopp is very good at training his men.

Yes, Liverpool's opportunity to become champion is very wide open, but of course it is definitely not easy to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City because their performance is currently good. Yes, in the next match in the Premier League, it looks like we will see Liverpool against Nottingham Forest and we won't know who will win that match. But next Liverpool will play Manchester City and this match is certainly the match that viewers and everyone have been waiting for.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

With the way City are winning games to a close margin,they may soon loose or draw.I watched their game against Bournemouth,and I can say if a strong team in form should meet them at the moment,they will win City.They are not really inform,but they are just showing they are Champions because that's how champions do.
Even when they aren't inform,they will still be winning games with just a goal.
Arsenal flogged tough Newcastle 4:1  in a game they took as their revenge match on how how Newcastle won them before.The battle is still on between these three teams, Liverpool,City and Arsenal.

Manchester city has really dropped form and their front line most especially really underperforming. After return from injury, Haaland isn't the Haaland we used to know, his scoring abilities took many steps backward.
The team is struggling to get goals in matches at the moment, using their usual ball possession tactics as a coverup for their inability to convert, a loophole Chelsea should've maximized in their previous encounter, but they couldn't.

Chelsea is in better form recently, but their inability to convert most of their chances is quite alarming, that single problem robbed them of the Carabao cup few days ago. I think Enzo Fernandez should learn how not to be selfish at the front of goal, Gallagher single handedly sold that match after missing three clear chances to put Chelsea affront with a good margin.

I must commend Jackson in his recent performances, he's really in top form recently and his contribution are evident in recent encounters. Palmer is good too. Chelsea really needs a standing striker to be the glorious team once again.

[rendravolt]

This is a victory that West Ham has been waiting for because they last won against Arsenal in December last year and since then they have never tasted victory again. They have gone 6 matches without a win and West Ham managed to send home guests Brenftford with a fairly landslide score of 4-2. To be honest, I didn't think that West Ham would win because Brentford is quite known as a troublesome team and it can be seen that in this match alone they were still able to score 2 goals.

Luckily, West Ham appeared to attack from the early minutes and this was proven by two quick goals from Bowen which put West Ham in a strong lead. Not only that, Bowen scored another third goal in the second half which made him record a hat trick in this match and this was his first hat trick with West Ham. It is great for West Ham to finally be able to improve their lost form and they are not too late this season if they still want to finish higher in the standings.

[naira]

It's the same with Manchester City because they also showed slightly stronger strength than at the start of the season when several of their main players were injured. The presence of a creative midfield provides a way for Manchester City to catch up one point behind Liverpool and I think the opportunity to win the Premier League is still quite open for both teams at this time. In the next few weeks the two will meet and whoever is able to win the match will be at the top of the standings and if the match ends in a draw then Arsenal will benefit.

The race for the English League title is still quite competitive because the three teams at the top of the standings have a fairly close point difference. Both Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal still have a chance as long as all three can play consistently to win. It is still quite difficult to predict who will come out as champions of the English League this season, but if you look at the strength of the team, I prefer Manchester City compared to Liverpool.

The narrower gap with Liverpool will only make Manchester City able to take the top of the standings quickly. In the end we will see a trophy for Pep Guardiola men and also Liverpool failed to widen the gap. In my opinion being 1 point behind is not a difficult thing especially now that Manchester City player composition is more complete and there is no shortage of main players.
Meanwhile for Arsenal this season in my opinion is quite good compared to last season which faced the end of the season and was unable to recover. Arteta has learned a lot about conserving energy if he is able to overtake the 2 teams above him, he will make new history.

[Dump3er]

Yet this game got started with quite a headstart, a 2 goals lead for West Ham after 7 minutes to then see Brentford close the gap with 1 goal. Quite an entertaining game and I wonder whether this is one of those matches that goes on like that and ends in a goalfest or whether this was it. I remember several games when it started as if it were to have like 10 goals, but then the result remained like that for the rest of the game.

I expect more goals in the game too. West Ham are under the pressure to score more goals because the game look very far from won for them and then Brentford coming from a goal behind are looking dangerous, and also know that the chances of the equalizing and winning this game is high for them with the confidence they have developed. If Westham loses this game after starting so well, even at home, it will be a big disgrace for the team that started very well, and for the coach.

This was a goal festival and West Ham showed an incredible efficiency. I didn't expect Brentford to lead the ball so much and have West Ham under control, but what set these two teams apart was the conversion rate of their chances. West Ham had six shots on target and scored four goals, what else could they be hoping for.

I was quite sure pre-game that this would be a successful game for West Ham as it was about time for them to create some positive momentum. Their season was looking great for quite some time, but then they fell apart and had this losing streak which cost them a lot in the standings. If they kept going without this negative streak, they would be on par with Tottenham, but now they have to deal with finding themselves stuck in the middle. It's bad as it is hard to see as a team what they are still playing for.


Once again Manchester City had such a narrow result, which I think is not optimal. They seem to have problems. They won their game at home against Brentford 1-0 and now another one with 1-0 against Bournemouth. I mean for the time being they probably don't care about the exact results, but who knows whether the goal difference will come into play by the end of the season?
