Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Leviathan.007]

While we are getting closer to the game between Chelsea and Newcastle, there is much news for these teams about the match and we know Chelsea hardly needs to win this match and get a better situation in the Premier League by three points from this match because currently they are in the 11th place of the table which is not good for them considering the money they spent so far in this team during the summer and this can put Mauricio Pochettino under more pressure and even in danger of losing his job.
Regarding this match, Chelsea can't use Ben Chilwell and Levi Colwill which can make this game harder for them and Pochettino confirmed that.

Liverpool's match against Sparta Prague was really exciting. In this match, Liverpool showed a good game which in the end the match ended with a score of 1-5. It seems that the results of this match prove that Liverpool's performance was very good and Salah played as a substitute in the match against Sparta Prague in the minute 85 seems like this is a good sign because Salah is starting to recover from his injury and he also scored a goal but unfortunately the referee deemed the goal invalid because the Liverpool player (Gakpo) was offside.

It seems that the results of the match between Sparta Prague and Liverpool in the European Cup will make Pep Guardiola's troops careful because of the return of key Liverpool player M. Salah, of course this will make the competition even more exciting and the match between Manchester City and Liverpool in the EPL will certainly be a match that I have been waiting for. Can't wait to watch De Bruyne and his friends fight M. Salah and his friends. It seems that when betting our have to really predict well.

Liverpool can be fully ready to face the upcomin game. It can be understood from seeing how liverpool was destroying its opponent. it was making the club to perform even better in the upcoming game as the most important game against manchester city. Liverpool will be playing with the full squad and yeah it's very good to see that liverpool win with huge margins in europa league when it was playing away.

Unfortunately Liverpool's upcoming match against Everton has to be postponed, and Liverpool's next match is against Manchester United in the FA Cup. At least Liverpool have the opportunity to prepare the strategy they use because the match against Everton has been postponed so I'm sure Liverpool will compete to the fullest. energy to fight Manchester United and win the match.

At least Liverpool have the opportunity to prepare the strategy they use because the match against Everton has been postponed so I'm sure Liverpool will compete to the fullest. energy to fight Manchester United and win the match.

Now Liverpool has ample time to re-strategize for their next match. When a match like that is postponed, it gives the players more time to regroup as a team. What matters most is delivery, and teams will always ensure they do whatever it takes to put themselves in the best position to maintain good performance. I'm sure even the coach now has more time to focus on his part of the job.

I don't think Liverpool will have many issues against Manchester United because Manchester United hasn't been particularly proactive this season. If it were clubs like Manchester City or Arsenal, I feel they would pose more of a challenge. However, it only takes Liverpool to pull themselves together, as I mentioned earlier, to win the next match. And, of course, all indications suggest that Liverpool is likely to win the Premier League championship this season. However, nothing is impossible yet, so every club is currently striving to do their best and come out on top.

[Mayor of ogba]

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.

It was a massive wining for liverpool tonight regardless to the injured players yet they still gained  victory over slavia praha in the europa league tonight.i think the injured players doesn't have any effect in the team, I'm pretty sure that muhammad Salah has recovered from injury so I think he will be present in that match.however with this their performance I'm well convinced that Liverpool can face manchester city in the premier league this weekend I think is going to be tough for the both teams.

Since some key Liverpool players were injured, Liverpool's current squad has tried to hold on to the first position in the Premier League table and also progress in the European League. Liverpool vs Manchester City will be tough, but Manchester City will beat Liverpool at Anfield because Manchester City players are more experienced than Liverpool players.

Since some key Liverpool players were injured, Liverpool's current squad has tried to hold on to the first position in the Premier League table and also progress in the European League. Liverpool vs Manchester City will be tough, but Manchester City will beat Liverpool at Anfield because Manchester City players are more experienced than Liverpool players.

It must be noted even Liverpool missed many players because of injury, the club could still stay at the top position,. it shows how the secondary club developed very well in the previous games. We can't even sure about city to win the game that since manchester city will also play at home and salah back in the squad.
Salah is Liverpool's only key to winning the game. It's sad to see how Liverpool missed a lot of players for this game. The club will not be able to perform properly against Manchester City. Liverpool has managed to defend its position, and it's not funny if the club loses against Manchester City at home.

Haaland and De Bruyne have been fully prepared to face this match. Even Pep Guardiola was not using the main squad to play in the UCL against Copenhagen. This shows that Pep was fully prepared for this match, and this is the only chance Manchester City makes the gap wider than before.
Manchester City is likely to use Doku instead of Grealish on the left wing while Foden stays on the right. Expect De Bruyne to play full time in Liverpool. Klopp needs a better left-back to anticipate Doku's movement.

TAA will be absent, and the club doesn't have someone who is capable enough to stop him.       

[Uruhara]

However, given their current form, it will be extremely difficult for any team to compete with Manchester City. They have a fantastic squad that can play for extended periods of time, and their most recent Premier League victory over Manchester United was achieved with three goals after coming back from first half of the match. It is also my opinion that Manchester City has changed their strategy of not using Haaland as much as they once did, as they are now also utilising Foden to score goals this season.

Manchester City still needs Haaland if they really want to make it far in this league and shouldn’t just depend on Foden alone since he can also be utilized in the front to score more goals for the team. Liverpool now have their star player Mohammed Salah back from injury and he has already started training with the rest of the team players. The match will not be an easy one because i feel both teams are on the same level and they’ll give themselves tough time before we can get the winner in this match. I could also foresee it as a draw, but I don’t have enough points to back it up, just my assumption on how I feel the match will be when it is played.

Currently, these two teams seem to have almost the same performance. Maybe yesterday we were a little doubtful whether Salah would play or not in the match against Man City. but after today we saw Salah play in the Europa League against Sparta Prague even if only for a few minutes. But this has reduced the worries of Liverpool fans. Because Liverpool also seems to be playing with their best squad to face Man City.

Haaland will always be the most important player at Man City along with De Bruyne. But this also does not exclude other players who are just as important. Even when Haaland is injured, we can see that other players can replace him quite well. So it can be said that Man City's composition is the most stable at the moment, whether without Haaland or with Haaland. It's just that with Haaland, Man City's front line is always the most frightening for the opponent's defense.

For this match, I am also confused about which team to favorite. A draw could indeed happen. But I hope there will be a team that wins this match. And I hope both teams score more than two goals. And this will make the match even more lively. 

[Bobrox]

Liverpool on confidence performance for super big match in this week against Manchester City after winning over Sparta Praha 1-5 last night, save most regular players for facing Manchester City its not make Liverpool loss touch for bigger winning in the first leg of Europe League match. Its becoming good capital for Liverpool without main players can easily won over 1-5 and most ready for next match against Manchester City in Premier League.
Indeed have many players still injury but last night Liverpool got good news after Mohamad Salah return back from injury, he played on 71th minutes for replacing Luiz Diaz and seems Jurgen Klopp already to put him in starting eleven for facing Manchester City. I am very optimistic for Liverpool can securing three points against Manchester City and try to defend their first standings position.

[tusandii]

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.

Maybe I'm too confident as a Manchester City fan but believe me that Arsenal and Liverpool are not equal opponents for Manchester City and I believe that in the MC match against Liverpool it will still be Pep Guardiola club that will win even though it will only be an away game but MC strength cannot be defeated. avoid it and it's easy to break into Liverpool goal unless you make a foul which results in a red card and at that point everything will turn bad.
When we play against Arsenal, I think Manchester City will have no difficulty competing at home, unless Arsenal is the host, it might end in a draw.
Returning to the main discussion, Liverpool might previously have been able to hold a draw against Manchester City at home, but at that time it was because of Mohamed Salah, while at this time it is not yet known whether this player will be able to attend the match, so I would say Manchester City will still win.

[ancafe]

They do have the home advantage but against a team like Manchester City it is not enough, they need more than that to win Manchester City and i hope a lot of their injured players recover before the match. I see Arnold and Alisson out and some few key players that might be helpful in the match because they need all the players they can get in order to win.

Some players are barely recovering and might be not be fully fit to give their all in the match so Liverpool needs to approach the game with caution. Manchester City also needs to be careful, it is a crucial game and a league deciding game and anyone that loses will see a setback in the title race.

The English League cannot be considered a winner just because it plays at home, because this league is much more competitive in terms of competition, even lower level clubs can beat top clubs so the home team does not have a bigger advantage in winning the match. Big matches like this will be much more difficult to predict because the competition will be much tighter. The absence of several key players in the Liverpool squad could be the reason they have difficulty facing the full strength of Manchester City because it will be difficult to keep up.

Manchester City is in good condition because they have just finished the Derby with a win. This match is also decisive for both teams remaining at the top of the standings and I am sure both clubs have prepared special strategies. I hope the match ends in a draw so that the competition is much more competitive because Arsenal has the opportunity to be ranked first after playing the match in the same week.

[$crypto$]

For this match, I am also confused about which team to favorite. A draw could indeed happen. But I hope there will be a team that wins this match. And I hope both teams score more than two goals. And this will make the match even more lively. 

Looking at these odds, it seems that Liverpool is not the favorite because there is a reason some players are not fit.

Which one do you want to bet or just watch for fun? Of course it's fun.

Like I will favor Liverpool because this is playing at home, it looks like some players have started maybe they can play fully in this EPL match and we know Salah has started playing even though it's not completely.

Still considering which one to choose to bet on.

[topbitcoin]

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.

Their performance in the last 5 matches is not too much different because the difference is only Aston Villa has only lost once and Tottenham has lost and drawn 1 result in the last 5 matches and in my opinion this will still be complicated for both clubs because anyone who is careless in this match then they will definitely lose momentum in the match and the possibility of losing points is very strong.

This needs to be anticipated because not only Tottenham must be aware but indeed Aston Villa must also be given the same proportion especially now that they will play home, allowing them to play all out in front of their own supporters.
Currently Aston Villa is a bit of a favorite for the bookmakers but indeed it is only a benchmark when they play home because it will indeed provide more advantages then they are definitely favorites as for the performance and condition of the game I think it will not be much different.


But this kind of match is quite difficult to bet and I think I will just try to watch without making any bets because I think the risk of a match like this is quite large because it is difficult to guess who will win considering both have a chance.

I hope the match ends in a draw so that the competition is much more competitive because Arsenal has the opportunity to be ranked first after playing the match in the same week.

Indeed, relying on the home factor alone is not enough if the match is a big match, but you need to be aware that playing at home definitely increases your confidence to play more aggressively. I know that the Premier League is a competitive and difficult league but anything can still happen. . Liverpool and Manchester City are both strong clubs, they play very well in the Champions League and Europa League, that's what makes this match very interesting. I also find it quite difficult to determine between these two clubs who will win it or even get a draw. So betting on them is probably better well choosing both teams to score is a safer option because choosing one of them is quite difficult anyway.

Not only Manchester City, even Liverpool also managed to play well in the away match in the Europa League. Liverpool was able to score 5 goals in that match even though we know Liverpool's mainstay player didn't play the full time but Liverpool were still able to finish very well, btw Moh Salah is likely to following this big match, it will make things difficult for Manchester City in this match. Manchester City will definitely play with a full squad and Liverpool's star player have also returned, so this match will be very tense, of course.

This is considered the season finale, and if any team wins, it will gain a massive advantage in the championship race. This is also considered a tense and peak confrontation between the two coaches who are considered the best today. This match will satisfy fans.
Mohamed Salah is back. He warmed up for nearly 20 minutes in the match in Prague. And Nunez is very sharp, playing with the highest confidence and freedom, so Liverpool is ready for the great battle with Man City at Anfield. Man City is also not inferior, their key players have recovered and returned, plus young talent Phil Foden is shining this season. Compared to reality, Man City is really too strong with its star team and talented coach, Pep Guardiola. This match is difficult for coach Jurgen Klopp and his team, but home advantage will probably be an advantage for them. But I still choose Man City as the winning team in this match, you should bet on them.

[Sebas.tian]

I am very optimistic for Liverpool can securing three points against Manchester City and try to defend their first standings position.

I don't think, Liverpool will embrace victory from Manchester city because all the Manchester city players have recovered from injuries like the way Mohamed Salah has recovered from injury to join Liverpool players to battle with Manchester city, and I believe this is the time to know the most strongest team in this tournament. I see Manchester city like the team that will use this opportunity to take the first position from Liverpool in the premier league table, because they have what it takes to defeat Liverpool 1-3 for the favour of Manchester city. I know Manchester city cannot stop Liverpool not to score a goal from the match but it will be difficult for Manchester city to allow Liverpool to win the match because De Bruyne and Erling Haaland and other striker will definitely work together to make sure they achieve victory at the end of the match.

[redsun114]

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.

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.

As we now have hype about this match Liverpool vs Manchester City things are surely going to be toughest but most chances Liverpool will be able to handle Manchester City because in their recent matches their approach is aggressive which is working for them, and they can give themselves a favour in shape of win against Manchester City because their now their chances are high for the title and this all depend on this game but if they lost then surely we will have them at the second or third spot with their chances will be almost dead because if Manchester City is defeats Liverpool at Anfield then surely we will have their win against Arsenal as well which will give them handy advantage for the win again in this season.

But usually we have surprises in Premier League so still any prediction is not easy who is going to win the title in this season because all top three teams are at the same level of quality and their consistency is also impressive which is giving them good advantage for having this spot.

[Egii Nna]

Liverpool can be fully ready to face the upcomin game. It can be understood from seeing how liverpool was destroying its opponent. it was making the club to perform even better in the upcoming game as the most important game against manchester city. Liverpool will be playing with the full squad and yeah it's very good to see that liverpool win with huge margins in europa league when it was playing away.

Unfortunately Liverpool's upcoming match against Everton has to be postponed, and Liverpool's next match is against Manchester United in the FA Cup. At least Liverpool have the opportunity to prepare the strategy they use because the match against Everton has been postponed so I'm sure Liverpool will compete to the fullest. energy to fight Manchester United and win the match.

Even though they postponed the match between Liverpool and Everton, Manchester City still have more time to get ready for their next match. The reason I said so is that if we could remember, go back and check the last time Manchester City played a game, it was on 6th, which is the champions league, which they played against Copenhagen, and they even beat the team with a 3-1 goal, but it is not that one that we are standing for.  Let us check the last time that Liverpool played their last game, which was on the 7th, which was yesterday, which was played against Prague with a score of 1-5. 

Seeing those interval of days that they have, that is why I see that Manchester City will still have more time to plan for the match they have with Liverpool on Sunday because they are there to struggle to get the point so that they can be at the top while on the other hand Liverpool will try to retain their position, so when we are talking of time for preparation, I will rather give Manchester City, although the fact that they postponed the match that was what many think might affect Liverpool to have poor preparation, so still Liverpool will have enough time to get prepared. 

[Google+]

Currently, these two teams seem to have almost the same performance. Maybe yesterday we were a little doubtful whether Salah would play or not in the match against Man City. but after today we saw Salah play in the Europa League against Sparta Prague even if only for a few minutes.

For this match, I am also confused about which team to favorite. A draw could indeed happen. But I hope there will be a team that wins this match. And I hope both teams score more than two goals. And this will make the match even more lively. 

Only a few more days we will witness a bigmatch between two teams that are at the top at the moment, this match will be very decisive for both teams to keep their positions in the standings, Manchester City and Liverpool so far have good capital in facing the match, Liverpool who just got a big victory against Qarabag in the Europa League certainly has high motivation to get another victory against Manchester City,  Likewise, Manchester City who have managed to secure the last 8 of the Champions League will certainly focus 3 points in the match to take over the top of the Premier League standings, in terms of performance clearly both teams cannot be doubted but at the moment it seems Manchester City benefits more from a longer rest time compared to Liverpool who have just finished their Europa League matches.

Not only that, even the match will be even more exciting with Salah return after injury, so that way, not only the two teams have high motivation but the rivalry for the top score will also Occur between Haaland and Salah in the match, Salah return certainly makes Liverpool attack very sharp and it can be said that the match will probably create more than 1 goals,  i personally wouldn't bet on who will win because it will be very difficult to predict but parlay seems to be a good option for this weekendgame with a score of more than 1 for Manchester City and Liverpool.

[barbara44]

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.

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.

I am also optimistic about their chances for the Champions League as they have done good work and also having good performance throughout season but Tottenham which is also one of the best clubs in England done good job, and they will give their best for the win and having again Champions League spot with Aston Villa done good but in last few matches their home performance is not good because they already lost against Manchester United and New Castle United which were setback for them and Tottenham is clearly much better side from these two, so things can go against them, and we can have tough challenging win for the Tottenham as well which will surely bring more confidence and achievement with their Champions League ticket could be again on to grab because in case of Tottenham win their chances will be at his best.

While we are getting closer to the game between Chelsea and Newcastle, there is much news for these teams about the match and we know Chelsea hardly needs to win this match and get a better situation in the Premier League by three points from this match because currently they are in the 11th place of the table which is not good for them considering the money they spent so far in this team during the summer and this can put Mauricio Pochettino under more pressure and even in danger of losing his job.
Regarding this match, Chelsea can't use Ben Chilwell and Levi Colwill which can make this game harder for them and Pochettino confirmed that.

 

I read in the local media that when Chelsea just drew with Brentford their fans chanted Jose Mourinho's name, and it's understandable because it was an outpouring of disappointment to see his favorite club not succeed in showing a good performance and the defeat in the Carabao Cup was one of the triggers for rumors that there would be changes at Chelsea, but is Jose Mourinho willing to return to Chelsea? This has not been confirmed and there are even rumors that the Brighton coach is also one of the candidates to replace Pochettino.

Facing Newcastle will never be an easy match for Chelsea because in several meetings Chelsea has struggled to win, but I see a trend at Chelsea when several times they get bad results there will be a surprise that they will give next and maybe they will beat Newcastle who also didn't perform as well as last season.

Chelsea no longer has a chance of getting a place in European competition next season, what they have to do is improve their position in the standings to at least be in the top 10 to improve the mentality and motivation of players who have been heavily criticized for their very fluctuating performances.

Unfortunately Liverpool's upcoming match against Everton has to be postponed, and Liverpool's next match is against Manchester United in the FA Cup. At least Liverpool have the opportunity to prepare the strategy they use because the match against Everton has been postponed so I'm sure Liverpool will compete to the fullest. energy to fight Manchester United and win the match.

Liverpool will face Manchester City first before facing Manchester United, and this match will be very important for both teams because whoever wins this match will lead the English Premier League standings but if the result is a draw then Arsenal will have the opportunity to lead the standings because they have a better goal difference from Liverpool even though the points will be the same as Liverpool.
