Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Hirose UK]

Liverpool also have Manchester City to play. So the league is still very open for the top 3 teams to drop form.
I believe Manchester City will win the league. Their players are returning from injury and picking form at the very right moment.

Yes, this is really interesting to see.  Man City's best chance is to win against Arsenal and Man City. These 3 teams have a difference of only 1 point. If Man City can win against Arsenal of course they will be number 1. But Man City must be careful they must maximize the remaining matches. Man city must avoid losing or draw result. Because a small mistake will make their big loss. March 10, maybe Man City should keep Salah, he is the key to Liverpool's game.

the match between Liverpool vs Man City will definitely be very fierce, especially since Man City has a squad with full strength while Liverpool lacks strength because Moh Salah and Nunez are injured, but i don't know whether it's true that Moh Salah will play with Liverpool to face Man City, Man City players will definitely lock Moh Salah's movements if he plays.  For now, Liverpool can't breathe easy enough because Man City is only 1 point different from them and Arsenal is only 2 points different from them, so at any time Liverpool can be shifted from the top position, if they lose or draw.

Manchester City vs Liverpool will take place this weekend and of course there are still more than 5 days before the match takes place, moreover Manchester City itself also still has schedule for the UCL in the second leg of the last 16 match against Copenhagen.
Manchester City vs Liverpool is one of the deciding matches to see how and who deserves to be at the top of the standings and win the title this season, I myself still quite confident that Manchester City will be able to defend the title.
Liverpool itself is in player crisis, they have more than 5 main players who are injured and absent from several matches, but from the news I read Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai will be the determinants in the match later.
It is confirmed that Mohamed Salah can be included in the squad for the match against Manchester City because the injury he suffered can be said to have completely recovered, but it is not clear whether Klopp will continue to use Salah even though he has just recovered from injury or use other player options.
Klopp will of course consider all the risks he will take if he decides to use Salah in the match against Manchester City because if he gets injured again then Liverpool will really be at huge loss.

Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal each have very narrow difference in points, making it easy for anyone to move up and down the standings, they just need to appear consistent and win to stay in comfortable position.
But Manchester City and Liverpool are in difficult condition because they have to really beat each other to stay at the top, one of them is certain to experience decline in standings next week.

[Salahmu]

The current situation is really exciting. We're having an amazing season. Arsenal in the third place, just two points behind the leaders Liverpool. Man City in the second place, just one point behind Liverpool. Things are heating up, and there's definitely more drama to come.
I'm rooting for Man City, but Liverpool's injuries might hold them back from top position. Arsenal has a chance, just like last season. They had a shot at winning it last time, but they missed out. I believe they need to make the most of their opportunities this season and not let them slip away. Could Arsenal surprise everyone this season?

Actually the fight for the premier league title is really heating up, Manchester city is clearly the favourite for this one, due to their experience and debth in their squad, but arsenal is really an interesting team we need to watch out for, though many don't sees them more of a threat due to their lack of consistency, but quite of late, they have really changed my perception about them, so I think they can fight for it till the very end.

And as for Liverpool, I don't just know what to get hold of, but I just feels like they don't have all it takes to bring the title to Amfield.

That match will be a deciding match for Manchester City and Liverpool because who ever that wins may likely become the premier league champions so this is a match that the both teams really need to take serious because there success depend on it so the both sides will use all they've got on this match so that they could win the match, actually looking at there points difference alone you would know that the match is not going to be an easy one for the both sides because they have just one point different from each other so Manchester City will do the most work because what Liverpool will actually be targeting is to win or they draw the match because if they eventually succeeded on playing draw they will have 64 points while Manchester City will have 63 points and is totally what Manchester City will be avoiding because they have been long waiting to enter the first position of the premier League but was unable to enter based on how consistent Liverpool has been on there winings so perhaps meeting them one on one this time is actually the opportunity they have long been waiting for so that they could take advantage and win Liverpool.

[Sakanwa]

I don’t really support any of the clubs in Premier league. I just sit down and watch well, but for my observation, Liverpool would do better this season,but it I want to be really easy for them because of the pressure Manchester City is on them.
So if I am to predict, I think Liverpool will do better this time but it won’t really be easy.

Liverpool are already doing better,they have been excellent since the start of the season,and are currently topping the premier league table till now,nobody added them to be among those contending for the premier league tittle this season,but they surprised everyone by topping the table.They will be facing Manchester City in their next game,and they currently top City with just 1 point,and will be going head to head with them this weekend.I think Mancity will win them because Liverpool have been struggling of late to win games,and if they should get a draw in this game,it will be better for them,but I don't see that happening.Nevertheless,let's see what happens in the weekend.

[Ahli38]

the match between Liverpool vs Man City will definitely be very fierce, especially since Man City has a squad with full strength while Liverpool lacks strength because Moh Salah and Nunez are injured, but i don't know whether it's true that Moh Salah will play with Liverpool to face Man City, Man City players will definitely lock Moh Salah's movements if he plays.  For now, Liverpool can't breathe easy enough because Man City is only 1 point different from them and Arsenal is only 2 points different from them, so at any time Liverpool can be shifted from the top position, if they lose or draw.

The condition of the Liverpool squad is indeed disadvantageous in the match against Manchester City on Matchday 28 this week. I even heard that several other players were also injured at Liverpool. But M. Salah's condition is actually rumored to not be that serious and he has recovered quickly. So he may have hope of returning this week. And maybe if Salah has really improved then we can see him in Liverpool's match against Sparta Prague. Or Klopp will not take risks and will not play Salah in that match and will play Salah in a more difficult match, namely against Manchester City. (Sourch)

Arsenal are very formable now, their next game should be against Brentford which I believe should be an easy win for them currently considering their outburst against Sheffield United.

Liverpool might have a bad game in their last match against Nottingham forest that they narrowly escape with a win at the die minute of the game, but trust me they've been consistent with their wins,  Else Manchester city would have taken the lead.
Liverpool and Manchester city would be meeting on Sunday, that game would be a serious decider as to who will either maintain the league lead or who will emerge as the new league lead. For me I am hoping for Liverpool to win that game. anfield is the venue, so at least a little bit of home advantage should be applied on the of Liverpool.

Arsenal in 2024 is really at the top with seven games in Premier League all won and having 31 goals with just 3 concede mean things are at the top and all speculation are ended about their quality and performance which was around them at the end of 2023 because their attack is giving their best and surely as things are going now we will have one of the best end of this season in recent years due to all top three teams performance because no one is going to give any chance to his opponent and want to keep things at their best.

Liverpool having problematic win into their last game but now in next game they are going to host Manchester City which is chasing them for the title and have good chance for the jumping above but Liverpool which is hammering through injuries surely not allow them to have anything positive, but this game is going to be decider for the title.

Because a small mistake will make their big loss. March 10, maybe Man City should keep Salah, he is the key to Liverpool's game.

Basically I don't underestimate Liverpool at all but yes, because considering Liverpool still get a lot of key players injured then yes, at least that factor makes me doubt Liverpool at this moment. Indeed, currently Liverpool are still at the top of the standings but yes, over time if Liverpool's key players are not quick to recover, then Liverpool position will also be replaced by Manchester City or Arsenal. Because yes, it is clear that Manchester City are in a good situation and condition with the main squad and key players they currently have still available to play. Likewise about Arsenal who are still very much on fire in Premier League matches because Arsenal are consistent with the big wins they have made lately. With such considerations, then I believe that Manchester City and Arsenal have a chance to be at the top of the standings overtaking Liverpool.

Yes, as a Liverpool fan I am worried about the number of main players who are injured, and I have to admit that Manchester City and Arsenal, when the main players return, they will be ready to overtake, if Liverpool make a mistake then they will be the leaders.
However, I am sure that Kloop's rotation will maintain the balance of the team, even though many main players are injured, the substitute players can replace them well. Even though I'm a little worried, I'm sure Liverpool can stay at the top of the standings until the end of the season.

I really feel bad for Liverpool right now, it's now they need their key players but they are absent, even against Chelsea they found it difficult to win despite the Chelsea poor performance, Kloop his really facing a difficult situation because they only have only one point between them and Manchester city.

If Liverpool fail to win and arsenal win definitely Liverpool are moving to third place and they will find it difficult to get back to the top because Manchester city and Arsenal are also hunting the title too so if any of them can mistakenly make it to the top they will make sure they don't drop.

[FanEagle]

Arsenal just played too well, there was really nothing that Sheffield could have done. One thing that I realized, look at all the goals, literally all six of them and you will realize that Arsenal played in a way where they used the wings. Doesn't have to be like all the way to the corner line, they didn't play direct football like City does, they didn't attack from the middle, they passed the ball to the sides all the time and this resulted with every single assist in that game come from the sides.

Players take the ball at the side, pass it to the middle and scored. This is normally what they try to do of course but not this much and it has never worked this many times in a single game before, they are really perfecting their tactics.

[Oneandpure]

The condition of the Liverpool squad is indeed disadvantageous in the match against Manchester City on Matchday 28 this week. I even heard that several other players were also injured at Liverpool. But M. Salah's condition is actually rumored to not be that serious and he has recovered quickly. So he may have hope of returning this week. And maybe if Salah has really improved then we can see him in Liverpool's match against Sparta Prague. Or Klopp will not take risks and will not play Salah in that match and will play Salah in a more difficult match, namely against Manchester City. (Sourch)

I can't believing with current Liverpool's players condition right now more than 11 of regular players have been absent due the injury, regarding the last match information against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool's players all position get injured from attacking line have Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones. In the defender, Liverpool have losses their main goals keeper Alisson and not confirming how many weeks needed for recovery from his injury.
Its most classic problem for Liverpool fight to Premier League tittle race and left 11 matches later seems not secure yet for winning every matches. Jurgen Klopp must braveness to give more minutes for their academy players after success won EFL Cup last week, its their opportunity during the Liverpool's main players not return back.

[doomloop]

Arsenal's score against Sheff Utd is certainly not surprising because looking at the rankings it can also be seen because Sheff Utd is currently in the lowest ranking. Yes now Chris Wilder has failed to made Sheff Utd to replace Rayo because he failed against Arsenal.

You are making this seems like Wilder is the only man responsible for yesterday loss but you know clearly that those players weren't good as many of us were especially the defenders, these Center back players are all flopped even made an own goal trying to play out Saka assist that he touch and made into a goal. Wilder took over because the Sheffield United was in a mess and it's still the same it was when he came, so if you want to blame, serve it to players as well because they are joy upto standard, don't know why they bought the entire players that played yesterday.

I don't think Wilder is main guilty party because if you are able to check then go ahead currently Sheffield United is at the bottom of the league table and their attack is weakest, and their defense is also having nothing with conceding 72 goals from 27 games is surely one of the worst performance for any team, so things needed good changes from the management for having improvement but most chances now they are going to be in Championship for the next season and things will be still on improvement because if they fail then surely they have to face consequences as well for this all hopefully they will now try to bring some improvement which will help them for having things better and on improvement because with this performance they are surely terrible.

I don’t really support any of the clubs in Premier league. I just sit down and watch well, but for my observation, Liverpool would do better this season,but it I want to be really easy for them because of the pressure Manchester City is on them.
So if I am to predict, I think Liverpool will do better this time but it won’t really be easy.

Liverpool are already doing better,they have been excellent since the start of the season,and are currently topping the premier league table till now,nobody added them to be among those contending for the premier league tittle this season,but they surprised everyone by topping the table.They will be facing Manchester City in their next game,and they currently top City with just 1 point,and will be going head to head with them this weekend.I think Mancity will win them because Liverpool have been struggling of late to win games,and if they should get a draw in this game,it will be better for them,but I don't see that happening.Nevertheless,let's see what happens in the weekend.

Yeah almost everyone predicts Manchester City will win the reason is clear because most of the Liverpool players are injured so that Manchester City can take advantage, but honestly I hope Liverpool can provide their best game at least the draw is enough. If we check the betting market on sportsbook what is offered by bookie is not too different this means they consider Liverpool as the Home Team who will fight to maintain a position at the top of the standings.

As a gambler I will avoid betting on 1x2 market because it is at risk, we don't know who will win but I predict the two teams will score each other, so the bet on both team to score is very interesting. By the way, before this match begins, we will see both teams playing in the Champions League and the European League, now this will have an impact on their performance in the Premier League especially if there are injured players.

[AYOBA]

Actually the performance of arsenal of recent have really been impressive and it has practically change my perception towards them, because initially I never sees them as a real force in this title race due to their inconsistency, but to be frank, they have proven me wrong on how I sees this team.

Arsenal's performance has altered dramatically since they dominated practically all of their matches, with positive outcomes against every team they meet. Arsenal's performance in the Premier League is so terrible that they struggle to put goal against any club. However, Arsenal has emerged as a formidable opponent in the Premier League this season. Arsenal surprised everyone with their dominance of the encounter against Sheffield United yesterday by scoring six goals. Is it true that Arsenal now a tigers that every team will be terrified of after breaking a record of 21 goals in seven matches.

But if they can continue this level of consistency and maintain their conversation rate in front of goal, then I think they will be able to go all the way, and claim the title from the nose of this two power house of football, which are Manchester city and Liverpool.

With the Arsenal performance I have doubt that arsenal can maintain their consistency and ensure that they meet their objectives, which include winning the title, given their present performance and growth. All I want is for Manchester City and Liverpool to draw in order for Arsenal to seize the initiative and took the top standing from them.

I don’t really support any of the clubs in Premier league. I just sit down and watch well, but for my observation, Liverpool would do better this season,but it I want to be really easy for them because of the pressure Manchester City is on them.
So if I am to predict, I think Liverpool will do better this time but it won’t really be easy.

Although at this time Liverpool are under a lot of pressure from the bottom of the points table. Because Manchester City is already chasing Liverpool and also chasing Arsenal and Manchester City. Likewise, these three teams are currently step by step in their pursuit of the title, which is why they are going to face competition this season. As Liverpool are currently in good position and then Manchester City, I think Liverpool team is ahead with just one more point so they are still under pressure. If Liverpool fail to secure a win in the following matches and draw the matches, they will surely lose their points and Manchester City will subsequently take advantage of this opportunity to move up to the bottom of the points table. Moreover, I believe this season may be interesting and rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester City but it is very difficult to predict who will win the Premier League.

[uchegod-21]

Liverpool 63,
Manchester City 62,
Arsenal 61


The league is once again becoming complicated and interesting again. The English premier League is now used to this kind of drama towards season end and one major scenario that plays out is that Guardiola and his boys always win in the end. Weather by real or by crook.
Arsenal is about to give false hope to their fans again. If Liverpool and Manchester City meeting on Sunday ends in draw, it therefore means that Arsenal may likely climb the top again with good goal difference.

[redsun114]

Manchester City is up against Liverpool first and the match against Arsenal is still a long way off. It's going to be a tough game for City against Liverpool soon, and many folks are worried about Liverpool's condition. They've got a bunch of key players injured and will have to make do with the available players. Nunez is back, but it may not be enough to win against Manchester City soon. I'm concerned about Liverpool's performance since they may not be strong enough if they end up playing without Salah. But let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for a miracle that Salah will join the squad shortly.

Man City is on a mission to crush the competition after their disappointing results in previous games. Haaland and De Bruyne are gonna be a nightmare for Liverpool. Liverpool need some solid defenders to stop Haaland from scoring in the next match. TAA might not even play, so let's hope for a miracle that we'll see our big players on the field again.
But using the secondary squad won't be enough to halt Haaland. We need a defender with exceptional physical strength to compete with him. This is gonna be another bad day for liverpool to play without some key players.

Even we have 11 games left in this season but soccer fans are excited about the game which is going to play in round 28 and Liverpool is going to host Manchester City because this match is going to be one of the most excited and surely going to have big impact on league table as well for the title race Liverpool is one of the best but sadly due to many injuries they are suffering badly and having too many first choice players not available specially few are going to have more time but most chances we will have Mohammad Salah back into team in this important match and things will be at their best for the result of this game.

Manchester City is clearly favourite but still we have Liverpool very strong at home, and they will never give up easily for me most chances we will have this match as draw and this will be also beneficial for the Liverpool which is currently leaders and stay at the top for rest of the season as well.

[tbterryboy]

This match will also determine which club has the best chance of winning the EPL this season. The loser will be positioned at the third place by assuming Arsenal wins the following game. City is now dealing with some very challenging fixtures. The team must be able to overcome Liverpool.
City will be bringing its entire squad to Anfield. Salah is projected to play against City, but Liverpool is still missing some important figures, such as TAA and Alison Becker. Let's see how Liverpool approaches this.

I'm confident Liverpool will avoid taking the risk of inserting a lower-tier player in the main squad.

Despite having too many injuries we are having best from the Liverpool which are winning all their games as their many top players are not able specially they are missing their playmaker Mohamed Salah which is now out of the game with injury it's almost one month hopefully he will be returned to team in this game against Manchester City which is going to have big impact on their title chances Manchester City is having their all players at the top and things are favourable for them but still it's never been easy to play against Liverpool which is currently at the top of league table and only looking for this win which will allow them to have good and fair chance for the title which could be memorable end for the klopp which is already decided about his future which is going to end at the end of this season, and he is surely deserved the best farewell from this club where he gives his best.

[skarais]

~~~

the match between Liverpool vs Man City will definitely be very fierce, especially since Man City has a squad with full strength while Liverpool lacks strength because Moh Salah and Nunez are injured, but i don't know whether it's true that Moh Salah will play with Liverpool to face Man City, Man City players will definitely lock Moh Salah's movements if he plays.  For now, Liverpool can't breathe easy enough because Man City is only 1 point different from them and Arsenal is only 2 points different from them, so at any time Liverpool can be shifted from the top position, if they lose or draw.

Yes, that is a match that should be the final match for the two teams who are struggling to strengthen their chances of winning the title this season. Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal will fight tooth and nail to win as many points as they can, so it will definitely be a very tense match.

So far Manchester City has several tough games remaining in the season including matches against Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa and also Tottenham. The same thing also applies to Liverpool and Arsenal where they will face each other for the rest of the season so whoever fails to get maximum points will miss out on many opportunities to win the title. In some of these tough matches, Manchester City still seems to be the favorite to win the match, including the match against Liverpool a few days after the second leg of the Champions League against Copenhagen.

Arsenal is about to give false hope to their fans again. If Liverpool and Manchester City meeting on Sunday ends in draw, it therefore means that Arsenal may likely climb the top again with good goal difference.

It doesn't feel like the two top teams in the points table will face each other again, a big match that will determine the journey of the two teams in the race for the Premier League trophy this season. Arsenal will benefit from a draw, and of course Arteta hopes that can happen. The very narrow difference in points indicates that the current competition is very tight, it is not easy to draw conclusions about who will emerge as the winner before the season actually ends. Arsenal next week will face relatively easy opponents, Martin Odegaard and colleagues have the potential to achieve another big win.

The match between Liverpool versus Manchester City is certainly very difficult to predict, Pep Guardiola is lucky because he has a complete squad, Jurgen Klopp is lucky that the match will be held at Anfiled. It is important for both sides to secure full points, and it is possible that the match will end in a draw. Apart from this match, Arteta certainly doesn't want to lose control like last season. By winning over Brentford, they can move to the top of the standings, provided that the match between Liverpool versus Manchester City ends in a draw.

[QueenVera]

keeps defend its winstreak till now. Im wondering whether it will be last till the end of season. The club needs to secure a victory and earn three valuable points to prepare for their upcoming matches against weak teams to compete with Liverpool and Manchester City. If the club fails to perform well in the upcoming games, they will have a difficult time competing with these top teams. Therefore, the club must focus on its strategy and put in its best effort to secure a win and maintain its position in the league standings. There were many players scored in this game and havertz was also putting his name on the scoreboard.

Arsenal has shown significant improvement compared to the previous season. However, there is uncertainty regarding how long the club can sustain this level of performance. The last season gave arsenal a very important lesson not to bottle the last games or it will make you lose the trophy.
Manchester united had proven how their consistency could bring them back to the UCL. The competition in the UCL is very strict, and Arteta should have known what things to improve compared to the last season.

Arsenal is always moving forward and the chemistry between any players is getting better from game to another game. It will be another disaster for arteta if he will be EPL trophy again.

The race for the EPL is now getting top notched and the teams in the contest are all not giving up on this title race as all 3 teams are making sure they grab all 3 points whilst they still can. The EPL is ove heavily contested league and grabbing all 3 points is very key for the teams and that’s what they are up to. Any team who slacks up now know what they’re in for and that’s why you see none of them succumb to any pressure and maybe drop points because they all have a match against each other which could be the title decider. So I know and had the mind that all 3 teams will get the win over the weekend.

 The win of Arsenal was expected and the plenty goals too was also expected as this team is very weak and it’s defense is so porous. Now Arsenal have used this match to increase their goal difference to 44 which is one very good thing right now. Increasing the goal difference at this point is key then the can majorly foucs on increasing and maintaining the 3 points coming in that way they’re putting up a huge battle for their opponents. The pressure from the EPL alone is on another level and that’s why it can’t be compared to another league in Europe.

The chemistry between the players is real top notch and one can see how improved the squad has gotten and one can now have some sought of confidence in their UCL 2nd leg match. I also think they’re a good team with young and fresh blood amd the players are determined on mot letting last season’s mistake repeat itself. Another thing of players returning from injury is a major boost for the team and that’s some credit to Arteta as he’s now improved this team and especially with the right tactics. I just wish them luck as they’re now looking like real title contenders and i wish they can keep up with that for long.

[hahay]

Arsenal just played too well, there was really nothing that Sheffield could have done. One thing that I realized, look at all the goals, literally all six of them and you will realize that Arsenal played in a way where they used the wings.

Players take the ball at the side, pass it to the middle and scored. This is normally what they try to do of course but not this much and it has never worked this many times in a single game before, they are really perfecting their tactics.

Yes indeed, I think and I also realize that in the last few seasons teams like Liverpool and several other teams have also built attacks from the wings. Therefore, it is not surprising that their right/left backs have a good assist record too, but ultimately their wing backs also have a great chance of scoring goals. So yes, it seems like building attacks from the wing like that is becoming a trend for teams competing for the title. Maybe, several otherteams also apply this tactic but yes, because maybe the players they have still fail to implement it so that other teams are not as good as the teams in the top 3 of the Premier League standings currently. But in the same way, if they don't have second line players who have good quality, then when the main players don't play then the team's style of play also becomes different and it tends to be more difficult to score goals.

[Mame89]

Liverpool are already doing better,they have been excellent since the start of the season,and are currently topping the premier league table till now,nobody added them to be among those contending for the premier league tittle this season,but they surprised everyone by topping the table.They will be facing Manchester City in their next game,and they currently top City with just 1 point,and will be going head to head with them this weekend.I think Mancity will win them because Liverpool have been struggling of late to win games,and if they should get a draw in this game,it will be better for them,but I don't see that happening.Nevertheless,let's see what happens in the weekend.

The point is that the EPL league competition is getting fiercer day by day and we still don't know which team will succeed in winning the EPL trophy this season because Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal have the same chance with just one point difference. these three teams. It is true that the Liverpool vs Man City match will be the final match for both teams, if as you say if they draw then of course this will be very profitable for Arsenal to take over first place because with Arsenal's current performance against Brentford it is certain . they will get three points.

Many EPL observers always favor Liverpool and Man City in the race for the EPL trophy, forgetting that Arsenal can take advantage of the competition between these two teams. Make no mistake, Arsenal is the team that has scored the most goals, conceded the fewest and kept the most clean sheets. Just maintain consistency, and continue to maintain the existing playing style, namely immediately turning off in the early minutes and playing effectively. Then Arsenal's ambition to get a trophy this season will come true.
