Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[gabbie2010]

One of the under dog club that is going to take us by surprise this season is Asernal because with all indication, Asernal is on the verge of breaking out even with just less few games to go, but judging fromnthe starisitic of the club, this season seems to be heading to Asernal although the gap between them and the Liverpool club who is the first club topping the league is not that far amd anything can happen since livwrpool already have some factors working again them currently like high rate of injured players and other things thatay hinder them from finishing the season very strong.

But taking a look at Asernal you will already see how consistent their have been in their approach toward climbing up to the top, their have managed to win most of the match with higher goals score on each match compared to other clubs and that will increase the chances rapidly.

But do you think Arsenal are going to take over this season again because Manchester City is very strong, and obviously they are also trying to win most of their matches? With how things are going, I have not put hope in Arsenal that they are going to win the title this season. Although Arsenal are doing well, no doubt, sincerely speaking, I don't think they will take the title this season. You see, Liverpool have been topping the standings from the early stages of the season until now. Also, Manchester City are also coming, and all of them are fighting for the first place in the table, so I don't think they will allow Arsenal to overtake them.

What are you seeing? That you stated Arsenal will not take over this season, or is it because Manchester City is attempting to maintain second place in the table? That is what gives you optimism that Manchester City will be really powerful. It feels like it's been a long since you've seen an Arsenal match. If not, that doesn't imply Arsenal will capture the title. With their present performance, I'm hopeful that they'll give it their all and conquer the league this season. You are even proud of Manchester City and they are only one point ahead of Arsenal, and I am sure they will soon drop both Manchester City and Liverpool.

because, to me, it is already too late for Arsenal to rank higher and get the first stage of the standings, given that it has turned into a competitive position for these three clubs.

Point of fact, it's never too late for Arsenal to rank higher. Even though those three clubs have competed, Arsenal has the potential to overtake Liverpool at the top. But I doubt Arsenal will be able to maintain their present performance because they put in a lot of effort and got good wins in all of their previous games.

From my own point of view Arsenal match against Man City to be played at Etihad on the last day of this month would be a very decisive match that would determine if Arsenal would be a contender for the EPL title though Liverpool is still topping the table however that is not a very reliable position as the league leader because the gap between Liverpool and runner-up is too close and with club injury worries to some of their key players would a big problem for the club when they play Man City on Sunday, meanwhile Arsenal has been on top of their game this year they had been in-form winning all their matches except their loss against Porto in UCL that means if they remain consistent in winning their subsequent matches they can also win the league.

We just need to wait whether Liverpool can maintain its position or not because with the condition of some players who have not fully recovered and the tight schedule, especially with some big matches that Liverpool will do, this will definitely make the situation more difficult than expected.

This March they are faced with several big matches and quite important matches where the Europa League Round of 16 will take place as well as with several big EPL matches after that the PA cup quarter-finals clearly require quite high concentration as well as the cohesiveness of the club and good management from Klopp to organize his squad so that it can be optimal in every match that is carried out and not too on portion so as not to fatigue.

This is not something easy but Klopp certainly knows the risks like this must always happen so all they have to do is try to keep doing the match well so that their condition does not falter.
Now if in the end Liverpool can get through all of this I think they will be able to make a breakthrough and achieve good results because if apart from mentally, they will also have a great fighting spirit to get through other matches.

 The EPL is now very competitive as we see the 3 teams all following up on each other with points and goal differences and this is what makes this league very competitive and fun to watch. The healthy competition in the league makes the league fan base grow real fast and great and these are things the fans love. The 3 teams will be having crucial matches this weekend and all eyes will be at Anfield to see how Liverpool vs Man City will go down. Before that, Arsenal will have to take on Brentford on Saturday in what could see them go top of the table if they can grab the win.

 Arsenal are looking very hot and on fire this time around as they’ve managed to move their goal difference to +44 by scoring at least 4 goals in the last 4-5 matches. This alone shows how productive the attack of this Arsenal side is and how determined the entire squad is. Yes because of the high level of determination, the confidence on them getting at least 3 goals over the weekend against Brentford is high and I know it’s very much possible. They’ll all be going out to get the win which will help them go top of the table pending result from Anfield.

 Liverpool having injury scare is one team I’m scared of and coupled with the so many fixtures they’re having, the UEL and FA Cup, I’m wondering how long they’ll be able to hold up. Well Jurgen is a tactician and should know how to save himself up. In as much as I don’t want City to win the league, I believe Arsenal who’re now looking very determined can be able to pull up something and steal the league. Also I’m still rooting for Liverpool though I don’t think the injury crisis will help them though. Well let’s wait till after the game week this weekend, then we’ll know who have higher chance of grabbing the league.

[uchegod-21]

Both teams are in a similar situation, even in the standings they are close, so it's a little difficult for me to predict who will win this match. The advantage is on Tottenham's side because they will play the match at home, but that is not a guarantee for them, because in some matches they lost when acting as a host.
Their statistics in scoring and defense are also not much different, so I think the chances of a draw are very large in this match. It depends on how they play later, and maybe luck will determine who can win, either Tottenham or Aston Villa.

I agree that a tie would not be too out of the question. In fact, I believe that betting on the other games would actually net a good profit this week while everyone is so focused on the City vs LFC game, other games are not getting enough attention.

During weeks like these people usually end up with getting a lot better odds and that does usually mean that the sports books do not want these games to go empty handed this week, since most of the money will go to a single game, they will offer better odds for the other games. I love these weeks because even the favourites get a lot better odds and that means that it's a great week to make a profit if there are no shocking results. Which may happen, but that's the risk we take.

Tottenham versus Aston Villa is a very interesting fixture anyways. What generated the interest in this match is that Aston Villa is just one step above Tottenham in the table, although Tottenham has one outstanding match even if they have to win Aston Villa they are not going to automatically be ahead of Aston Villa but they will be sure that they are placed in the top 4 would be strengthened because Manchester United is behind. Although Aston Villa is just one step  ahead of Tottenham in the standing but in  terms of form, Aston Villa is two steps ahead of Tottenham. These two team are supposed to give us a very interesting match because their top players are all available apart from Richarlison of Tottenham and Kamara of Villa. Both are suffering kneel injuries. Let's see how the meeting will be.

[rahmad2nd]

Liverpool must get a win against Man City because they have a chance to stay at the top of the standings. Because in the next match, Man City will face Arsenal, so there is a big opportunity for Liverpool to top the standings with a slightly larger point difference than Man City. But this opportunity also depends on Arsenal because if they succeed in beating Man City then the competition will be even more interesting, but if you look at Man City's current performance it will be very difficult to beat them and the most likely result will be a draw

The competition for the title will heat up if the Liverpool vs Man City match ends in a draw. Because Arsenal has the opportunity to take first place in the standings in week 28, because Arsenal only faces Brentford, where mathematically Arsenal has a much greater chance of winning in that match.

It won't be easy for Liverpool to overthrow City even though the match will be held at Anfield, especially referring to City's match in the Champions League last night.  Pep did not field his full core of players, several of Pep's players rested to save energy when his team's squad played Liverpool at Anfeld this week. but it's true, Liverpool must win because otherwise it will be a problem for Jurgen Klopp's team. If they lose, it means City will knock out Liverpool at the top of the Premier League standings. If the result is a draw, it would be a blessing for Arsenal if Arteta's squad wins the match against Brentford. so, the competition between these 3 teams is still very interesting. what is certain is that Pep will play his full core of players plus the pattern that has always been his mainstay.

On the other hand, Liverpool was unable to play several of its core players because they were still suffering from injuries. however, it seems that Moh Salah could be used when Liverpool host City this week. If I refer to the betting market for a while, City is still the favorite team with odds @2.26. while Liverpool, with odds @2.95. not much different, so it is possible that this match could end in a draw. however, if it is a draw, it will actually give Arsenal a chance to overtake the team in their ranking.

As for the Arsenal vs City meeting, we can discuss it later. because, this week is a very interesting week presented by the Premier League. As an Arsenal fan, I honestly want the result of the Liverpool vs City match to be a draw and Arsenal to win the match. however, based on personal predictions, City will beat Liverpool at Anfeld. But, let's just wait for football to be interesting and unique. sometimes, the results we cannot predict.

Tottenham versus Aston Villa is a very interesting fixture anyways. What generated the interest in this match is that Aston Villa is just one step above Tottenham in the table, although Tottenham has one outstanding match even if they have to win Aston Villa they are not going to automatically be ahead of Aston Villa but they will be sure that they are placed in the top 4 would be strengthened because Manchester United is behind. Although Aston Villa is just one step  ahead of Tottenham in the standing but in  terms of form, Aston Villa is two steps ahead of Tottenham. These two team are supposed to give us a very interesting match because their top players are all available apart from Richarlison of Tottenham and Kamara of Villa. Both are suffering kneel injuries. Let's see how the meeting will be.

Indeed, the game between this two clubs are definitely going to be an interesting one not to miss, also judging from the fact that Tottenham has a few months back tested being at the top, but later on fell behind to where they currently are right now which is at the 5th position in the table, they may want to see this game against Aston villa as a stepping stone for them move to the 4th position, unfortunately, they may still end up lacking 2 more points if they managed to beat Aston Villa and gain the entire 3 points, since they are currently sitting at 50 points while Aston villa is sitting at 55.

And on the other hand, I doubt Aston Villa will want to give Tottenham any chances, since Aston Villa is also gunning for the 3rd position which arsenal is currently occupying, and even though beating Tottenham will not get them there since they will still lack enough point, but then getting the 3 full points will get them closer to their target, but then, just incase they loss, still will not be too devastating for them since Tottenham still would lack enough points to take their(Aston villa) position in the table.

Overall, the match will likely be a battle of the titans, and one that is also very hard to predict who would win, but from here, I would root for Aston villa to beat Tottenham.

[Tony116]

Do you guys think that Aston Villa will be able to recover after the lack cluster performance that they had a little while ago?

What I understand is that the coach is really good and he has done really well to bring any great results. But when you don't have the best squad, you are only going to be able to do so much before you start having problems. But I still think they are performing pretty well. And they have shown great improvements. Even if they can finish in the top four, ahead of Tottenham, it is still going to be a big achievement for them in my opinion.

[leonair]

Let's see how the meeting will be.

These two teams are standing next to each other but Aston Villa has won 2 matches more than Tottenham in total matches due to which Aston Villa is 5 points ahead of Tottenham. so when these two teams play against each other it will be difficult to predict which team will win the match. the match will definitely be competitive. Looking at Aston Villa's past matches, they can generally be considered a win, but logically, we can't write off Tottenham's chances of winning. So it is very difficult to predict the potential of this match.

Approaching the end of the EPL league season, the competition for trophies is getting hotter and more exciting. That's why the EPL league is so popular compared to other leagues. Of course, both Liverpool and Man City must win in this big match because for both teams this victory is one step closer to winning the EPL title, in other words this match is like a final to determine which team will win the EPL trophy this season.

Correct. However, interestingly, if the two teams draw, Arsenal will automatically benefit greatly because in the same week Arsenal will face a weak team so that Arsenal's victory can overtake Liverpool in first place. My prediction is also like yours, Liverpool vs Man City will end without a win because both teams are both in good condition in maintaining consistency.

And they have shown great improvements. Even if they can finish in the top four, ahead of Tottenham, it is still going to be a big achievement for them in my opinion.

Tottenham Hotspur is the most close competitor teams for Aston Villa to reach to fourth position or Champion League spot standings in this season, without underestimating Manchester United's chances, but judging from the difference in points and inconsistent performance.
I think it is very difficult to compete with Aston Villa to get the last ticket to participate in the Champions League next season, current standings Aston Villa remaining 5 points left from Tottenham Hotspur but need to see the opponent teams in 11 Premier League matches left.

Next match crucial for Aston Villa against Tottenham Hotspur, if can take three points will give opportunity with 8 points remaining although with matches left have to face Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea will be most difficult match for securing top fourth position standings.

[baeva]

Indeed, their point difference is very tight. It seems that the Man City vs Liverpool match then Man City vs Arsenal can determine future competition. Those matches will happen March 10 and March 31.  Whoever the winner is, it will hurt the losing team because their points will be at odds even wider.

Liverpool must get a win against Man City because they have a chance to stay at the top of the standings. Because in the next match, Man City will face Arsenal, so there is a big opportunity for Liverpool to top the standings with a slightly larger point difference than Man City. But this opportunity also depends on Arsenal because if they succeed in beating Man City then the competition will be even more interesting, but if you look at Man City's current performance it will be very difficult to beat them and the most likely result will be a draw

The competition for the title will heat up if the Liverpool vs Man City match ends in a draw. Because Arsenal has the opportunity to take first place in the standings in week 28, because Arsenal only faces Brentford, where mathematically Arsenal has a much greater chance of winning in that match.

And also, again mathematically as you put it, if Manchester City beat both of these teams they will firstly top the standings and secondly they will most likely knock Arsenal out of the championship race, so this is a very crucial moment for Manchester City. And so far I think they have a good chance of doing so

In everything that will come out of these matches, Arsenal have a better chance than any other team. First, Arsenal is going to play against Brentford and no doubt the Gunners are going to win this match and whatever happens after between Manchester City and Liverpool is up to them. If Manchester City, then they are definitely going up and Liverpool will come lower or even below Arsenal since they have a potential 3 points win from Brentford. I'm not sure if Arsenal is going to win Manchester City but if they can do it in the first leg, they can also do it in the second leg.

However, Liverpool should win against Manchester City, that is going to be the next thing that is going to stop them from winning this league, we can see that Liverpool is not making too much noise or attention seeking team, they win in silence even in Europa League, they are dominating and killing every match, they are the team to also fear if Manchester City is really concern about their success in this league.

if the opponent of hotspur aston villa is able to win, it is certain and guarantees 4th place or the last champions league ticket from the premiere league will be obtained by aston villa. the difference of 8 points when the number of remaining matches is too heavy to catch up. and in this big match for the top 4 positions aston villa will act as the host to host hotspur at villa park stadium, of course aston villa will be more favored to win this match.
But if the remaining aston villa matches are still many heavy team opponents, the chances of other teams to get the top 4 positions are still open.

Without doubt for sure, that would be a very big massive achievement for Aston villa because that would automatically mean champions league football for them next season but it's not going to be easy because the fight for that top four is like the gladiator showdown and only the strong survive so that last performance shouldn't be something that will give them cause to flop because if they for one minute lay low another hungrier team will gladly take their place in the top four slot.

Recover in what sense? Aston Villa have three wins in their last three games, and even though there were two defeats before that, overall the results are good since they are now alone in fourth place. If they win against Tottenham, then getting into the top four will apparently be guaranteed. But the quotes for this game are very random:

2.37 - 4.02 - 2.53

Last year Aston Villa finished 7th and they are obviously in a better position than a year ago and considering that they are ahead of many big clubs they are doing great.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Arsenal will benefit greatly from a draw between Manchester City and Liverpool, but I'm not sure that will happen. The reason I say this is that both teams are vying for the same point, which is crucial for both of them. If either team wins, it will be a fortunate opportunity for them to win the league. Based on their performances so far, Manchester City looks better than Liverpool. In Liverpool's most recent match against Nothingham Forest, Liverpool struggled to score goals, possibly as a result of their players' absence.

The problem is that expecting a draw might still happen but both clubs are currently in the best condition and want to give victory in every match that is run because both have ambitions to be able to maintain their current position, especially the ambition of Manchester City, who really want to emphasize that the EPL belongs to them in recent seasons after they managed to back to back champions.

On the other hand, Liverpool also this season has more ambition especially with the current conditions where this is Klopp's last season, they certainly want more results for the EPL because after all Manchester City's dominance must be stopped and they are one of the clubs that can do that. They don't want a defeat because it's the same as throwing away the opportunities they have at the moment so a draw is indeed a very big possibility but it will be very difficult to happen when two big clubs meet and both have the same ambition.

Lol, Aston Villa are obviously one of the best sides in the Premier League Competition this very season.

Impressed with that last no three wins they've had, most puzzling yet interesting was that game almost lost to Luton Town while on the road but the late winner from French international Lucas Digne gave them all of the three points to go home with during that game. Two defeats came against Manchester United and Chelsea during the Cup Competition games. It's not like they're doing too much this season thus.. Unai Emery must be proud.

The Odds are damn deceiving, but I want to dwell on the game ending as a fulltime draw result. T's obvious the game would be difficult and points would be shared.
Aston Villa should be able to qualify for the Champions League Competition next season uf tbryncan be consistent from here and ahead.

[Weawant]

These two teams are standing next to each other but Aston Villa has won 2 matches more than Tottenham in total matches due to which Aston Villa is 5 points ahead of Tottenham. so when these two teams play against each other it will be difficult to predict which team will win the match. the match will definitely be competitive. Looking at Aston Villa's past matches, they can generally be considered a win, but logically, we can't write off Tottenham's chances of winning. So it is very difficult to predict the potential of this match.

Tottenham in the form they started the season wit would comfortably win Aston villa without much difficulty, the total performance of Aston villa this season has mainly been within average but that of Tottenham has actually been inconsistent but has had times where it did went above average and times it even went below especially when they suffered some cases of injuries with their key players.

The time most of their players had injures and a few with red card at almost the same time, the team did suffered awhile and it did affected their performance all through the period these players weren't around, the psychology of these players to an extent was greatly affected and their performance on the pitch did made it obvious that these players did suffered from the absence of others, even their confidence at some point wasn't looking like they had it well enough to be able to fave other big teams or even teams their capacity.

Aston villa will be having home advantage over Tottenham and that alone is an advantage for them over Tottenham because Tottenham will be playing from away, although earlier at the start of the season, it really didn't matter for Tottenham where they are playing from they would be able to win but currently I think the home advantage do have an edge over them and they may be affected some how but them I can't underestimate their ability.

[red4slash]

2.37 - 4.02 - 2.53

Last year Aston Villa finished 7th and they are obviously in a better position than a year ago and considering that they are ahead of many big clubs they are doing great.

Looking at the Odds given, it seems that for this match Aston Villa is favoured only because they play home, nothing more than that, because looking at the opportunities owned between Aston Villa and Tottenham at this time both still have the momentum to be able to win in the match they will carry out.
In terms of performance for this season and last season, of course they are better for this season because with Emery it raises a hope where Aston Villa, which last season played poorly, is brought back to be one of the dark horse clubs until now but there are indeed some conditions that Emery still cannot maximise well in the previous few matches even though they have returned to good performance in the last 3 matches.

This will be interesting for sure because after all, apart from the position, this will also prove whether Aston Villa deserves or not in the top 4 in the end considering that for now in terms of points, their gap can still be overtaken with still many matches to be played until the end of the season.

[Huppercase]

Do you guys think that Aston Villa will be able to recover after the lack cluster performance that they had a little while ago?

What I understand is that the coach is really good and he has done really well to bring any great results. But when you don't have the best squad, you are only going to be able to do so much before you start having problems. But I still think they are performing pretty well. And they have shown great improvements. Even if they can finish in the top four, ahead of Tottenham, it is still going to be a big achievement for them in my opinion.

Aston Villa should be more careful of Tottenham taking their place than worry much on finishing first, mostly likely they can't finish first place unless the top 3 teams experience worst performance but is that even possible right now? I don't think so. Arsenal is 6 points away from them which means they need to make atleast 3 wins in a row or even more before they can over take Arsenal but you will agree with me that Tottenham are yet to play their 27th match that was postponed.

If Aston Villa really continued the way they started the season, the only team that would probably be competing with them will only be Liverpool because they have so far lose only 2 games. The best Aston Villa can do right now is they don't lose any matches from henceforth else they risk sleeping in the 5th place which is going to be automatic qualifications to Europa League instead of the Champions League.

[RockBell]

Spurs' start to the season is quite promising and they are almost certain to get back a slot in the Champions League next season. But in fact, because so many players are injured, the accumulation of cards makes them slowly falter and defeat is inevitable. I think at that time coach Ange was really struggling because he didn't have an ideal squad because so many players were absent so he could only accept the results.

Against Aston Villa will be another proving ground for Spurs and even though many people favor Aston Villa in this match, this is the English Premier League which we know has a very different competitive level from other top European leagues. The previous comeback win over Crystal Palace will boost the morale and confidence of the Spurs players and they will try to at least hold on to a draw even if victory is hard to come by. What is clear is that even if Spurs lose, it will not be easy for Spurs and I think Aston Villa must be more alert this time.

Not only spurs but some clubs like burnley, Aston villa and others have spoiled the opportunity they had from the beginning and that is why you can not predict anything that will happen in the premier league, and if you want to judge the league by those that will be winning when the season starts. when the season continues going gradually you will know those that are serious and really want to archive something, other clubs to have injured players but even at that they are doing very well. so they given excuses. and my problem with some players is that why will they put the clubs performance at risk and be accumulating card. and we all know that premier league is very competitive and if you don't do well you will be relegated the way shelfield united is about to i don't see the point why they want to come to premier league. the same goes for some other clubs to they really need to work on there self before coming into the premier league instead of coming and wasting there own time.
