Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Swordsoffreedom]

Today Tottenham will play away against Aston Villa, Tottenham is unstable this month but in my opinion they are eyeing at least one point well, the results of this match will have an impact on the positions of Tottenham and Manchester United in the European League zone race. My prediction is Manchester United failed to get a place in the top 5 this season.

The score in the first half between Aston Villa vs Tottenham was 0-0. Even though Aston Villa were playing at home, but they seemed overwhelmed when they faced Tottenham, where it was Tottenham who dominated the match with 70% possession of the ball. Aston Villa tends to play defensive football and wait for opportunities to launch counterattacks. There are indeed some auspicious looking opportunities that they got from Counterattack but if they keep relying on it, I think Tottenham will find a way to score goals because with so much space that Tottenham has when building attacks, it will provide lots of opportunities for them.

The game ended with 4 goals for totemham. Spurs has already humiliated aston villa. Villa is in the process of declining from its peak performance, and this sounds bad for the Villa because it may lose a spot to qualify for UCL next season. Ange's main goal is to enter UCL next season. There's no a better target than it.
Aston villa played so awfully against totenham and that's shitty performance from aston villa attackers. The defensive line is also playing so badly in this match. They have their standard degraded a lot caused by aston villa consistently losing the game in EPL.
Villa played low block, but it was very inconsistent in defending. The attack was also lazy, helping their defenders block the counterattack from Tottenham. There was also a moment when Villa's attacker was only standing after he lost the ball.
This is something that needs to be corrected by the club. Aston Villa was rarely making chances in this game. Totenham created 4 goals from 5 shots on target, which has proven how weak Villa's defensive line is. This club isn't running out of fuel.
I hate to say this but villa is playing like a mediocre team. This is the fact. it's unacceptable to lost 4 goals at home without even score a single goal against totenham.

Incredible stuff! Villa didn't put up much of a fight, and it showed. Tottenham secured a crucial victory at Villa Park. This loss marks Aston Villa's third defeat at home in the Premier League this season. Tottenham really took advantage, especially with Villa down to 10 men in the second half. A red card and a defensive error proved costly for Villa. After that, Villa seemed to lose their shape, letting in two quick goals early in the second half and two more in added time. It was a tough day for Villa, and they didn't offer much resistance. They just didn't seem like a cohesive team, making it an easy game for Spurs!

Such a defeat by Aston Villa in a home match was very unexpected. Aston Villa have been a strong team this season. They were in good form. But the team's performance has been erratic in recent times. After today's defeat against Tottenham, Aston Villa's chances of finishing in the top four of the table are slim. Aston Villa is just two points ahead of Tottenham. However, if Tottenham can win their next match against Fulham, they will be able to occupy the third place in the table.
In today's away match against Aston Villa we only saw the dominance of Tottenham players. Tottenham players have 70% ball possession. Tottenham didn't attack too much but every attack was very strong today.


Liverpool are playing very carefully against Manchester City today. We didn't see any attack from Liverpool in 20 minutes. Klopp is playing defensive strategy today. But I don't think it is possible to win against an experienced team like Manchester City by playing defensive strategy. Liverpool's players must attack and score goals. If not, chances of Liverpool winning the match are low.

[Catenaccio]

Manchester City control the match so far while Liverpool play defensively but John Stones scored a goal for Manchester City from a corner kick.

Darwin Nunez is a player who follows Stones in this situation but he fails and Stones scores for his team. The match from now will be more exciting as Liverpool will have to attack against Manchester City to equalize the match.

Manchester City with their attacking power, ability to counter attack, will create a lot of danger against Liverpool in coming minutes of the first half.

Yeah I also did not expect that Tottenham could beat Aston Villa because Aston Villa has played well in the last 3 matches and they play at home, at first I predicted the worst thing that could happen was a draw but Tottenham confidently outwitting my prediction. Now Tottenham is getting closer to the Champions League zone only needs one more victory if Tottenham won against Fulham in the upcoming match they were 1 point ahead.

The second half was disastrous for Aston Villa who played very impressive in the first half, in addition to having to get embarrassed for the 4 goals created at villa park by Tottenham, Aston Villa also deserves regret because they had to lose one of their players at the same time captain aston villa, a humiliating defeat to Tottenham made Aston Villa now more difficult to maintain the 4th position because as you said if Tottenham is just waiting for time to coup Aston Villa position which only has a difference of 3 points from Tottenham.

Since the league started, Aston Villa  performance has surprised many people and even unexpectedly they can beat big teams such as Manchester City and Arsenal at the beginning of the season, but somehow now it seems that Unai Emery has lost his magic wand and slowly Aston Villa has dropped out of the Premier League championship competition and even now to maintain one last ticket to the Champions League next season will be very difficult for Aston Villa after their defeat I thought the crucial match between Aston Villa and tottenham would be an attacking game between the two teams to break into each other goal,but today it seems that Aston Villa is very helpless even though they are playing at home.

The goal scored by Manchester City was a big defensive mistake by Liverpool regardless of Nunez failure.
The positive point in this match is that Liverpool are pushing and trying to get the draw although they wasn't successful yet. Manchester City are also trying to create a good opportunity to add another goal. They know that the actual score isn't reassuring and anything could happen with the actual high rhythm.

[hahay]

It is impossible for Klopp to gamble with the line-up that will be used in this match because a number of key players are injured.
Bradley and Quansah were the two names who played in the back line to block Manchester City's attacks which were filled with the names Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, Foden and Alvarez.

Draw results that I bet on this match and bet multi. Tottenham have won and that is good for my bet. Just waiting for this match. If it's a draw, I'll party.

Because Manchester City has managed to score first then yes, I think the match will still be won by Manchester City. Because indeed, Liverpool's problem is only about the number of key players who are still injured and therefore, Liverpool do not have enough resources to be able to beat Manchester City even though Liverpool are playing at home. To be honest, I personally also don't want Liverpool to lose this match but yes, the reality is that Manchester City will certainly put all their efforts at a moment like this to be at the top of the Premier League standings. Therefore, although I also still recognize that Liverpool are a team with above-average quality, but at this moment I only assess the fact that Liverpool are not in a fully good situation, in contrast to Manchester City, who are still in a good situation and form.

Manchester city has been really proving their worth so far, currently leading 1-0,  the match has really been intense for both teams, as both teams have had good Chances to score goals especially Liverpool. However if Liverpool can maintain these tempo, then they will find the back of the net because they've not really been put out of composure in their ball control despite being on the losing side. Liverpool needs to work on their finishing.

Manchester City control the match so far while Liverpool play defensively but John Stones scored a goal for Manchester City from a corner kick.

The two clubs are playing well, Manchester city have been able to score one goal in the first half of the match which is really a nice one for them, Manchester United have to be kind of careful, if not Liverpool might end up equalizing, they are giving Liverpool lots of opportunities which is not suppose to be like that, the best thing Manchester city should do is to tighten their defense, and score more goals. Manchester city is ahead of Liverpool but that doesn’t guarantee a win yet for them yet, we are still in the first half of the match and anything can still happen.

Not really. I say it's still 50:50 in ball possessions. Liverpool very often owned the ball, but the city also countered it with intensive defense. Haaland has not yet had a chance to score, but I'm glad to see Stone use a very small chance to score after he received a corner kick from De Bruyne. Liverpool has no chance other than going offensive after it was not leading the game.
Liverpool feels so difficult in attacking manchester city. City is still able showing very consistent transition from attack to the defense. This is a hard time for liverpool caused by it may be losing the game if it's not put the key players in the game. It seems like that klopp is still worrying to put salah in the main squad since the first half.
Klopp will play him start from the second half which is also a risky decision. It proves that if salah has not yet fully recovered and that's why klopp keeps him for the second half instead of giving him chance to play full time.

Manchester City used counterattacks in this match to threaten Liverpool's defensive line. The only bad thing is that City often misses chances. City win, please. It's likely that City will be able to win the game if it keeps playing well like this. Im sure liverpool will be missing another chance soon.
KDB and haaland are able to playing till the end of season which is good if city will win this game.

The game still has plenty of time left and there is still hope for Liverpool to equalize the score before the end of the first half, currently Liverpool are one goal behind Manchester City after Stones managed to take advantage of a corner kick to create Manchester City's first goal of the game, so far I see, although Manchester City has more deadly counterattacks but Liverpool have so far seen more attempts and even Among them are quite dangerous.

Throughout the first half Liverpool were very impressive in pressing the Manchester City defence and I think they should have stayed focused on looking at their backline, because from some counter-attacks Manchester City looked very effective and even Haaland seemed too easy to beat Van Djik who kept guarding him.
At the moment Liverpool's dominant attack comes from the left wing, it is too easy for the Manchester City defence to read and often they even have to fire shots that hit the Manchester City defenders and I think Klopp should be able to get a solution to Liverpool attack in order to break the concentration of Manchester City defenders and maybe inserting Salah could be that solution.

current score: Liverpool 0 vs 1 Manchester City

[swogerino]

Now if Liverpool loses this it makes things quite complicated so I think in this second half they will go all out in search of the equalizer which can also leave space to Manchester City to score again but there is no other real solution to this,Liverpool has to try the hardest they can and in front of their fans they can do this against any team including Manchester City.

The draw would also affect both Liverpool and Manchester City as Arsenal won their game yesterday night and they are calmly watching this game,I think Liverpool needs to turn things around otherwise it will be difficult for them to be fighting and maintaining the first place until the end of season.

Lack of proper communication from the Liverpool defenders cased this goal, John Stones was Lucky to have the goal scored and it looks like he De Bruyne knew that he will be free if AKE made the move, and unfortunately it works for them as they lead 1-0 at Anfield.
It is not yet over because Liverpool is not given up, this is a good sign that the match will be tough from beginning to the end because I am seeing a draw in the match if Klopp bring in Moh Sallah.

<snip>

The match is in progress and up to this minute they are still playing at 0-0, the ball is rolling more in the midfield, this seems to be because both clubs don't want to rush into the opponent's defense line, but we saw once that Manchester City managed to attack more inside of what Liverpool can do.

Liverpool only briefly controlled the game, after that Manchester City controlled it until Stones' goal occurred.
Oh yes, Stones' goal came through a high-class technique from Kevin De Bruyne who took an unusual corner kick. De Bruyne chose to take a curling shot that was half horizontal and Ake held off a Liverpool player to allow a Man City player from behind to come in, coincidentally the player was Stones.

I don't bet on this match, I prefer to just enjoy it, because I feel this match is very risky to bet on considering that both clubs are the best clubs in the standings and they are also competing to show who is the best among them after finishing this match.

It's not fun if you just enjoy it. I enjoy while betting. The multi bet has not failed even though Manchester City has won.
Risks are normal. The important thing is fun.
Now half time.

[Velvet78]

The first half has ended and Manchester City are in the lead by 1-0. This half didn't went very well for Liverpool. Manchester City started really strong and it took Liverpool some time to recover.    The goal Liverpool conceded was a really simple one by the way. They should have covered the near post much better than that.

Liverpool found some chances actually but couldn't find the target. Salah is needed on the field immediately! He can make the Liverpool attacking line much more active and dangerous. If he doesn't enter the game early I'm afraid the score gap could get bigger.

I knew the game will be like this against Liverpool, because they've been in an impressive form since the beginning of the season,and it is only teams who have strong winning mentality that have been able to win them this season.Arsenal is one of those teams that have won them,and losing to Mancity today will really be bad for them as they will fall behind Arsenal and City.They will go back to third place, however,City's next game is going to be against Arsenal,and I think within these big teams,any team who is able to win between City and Arsenal in the next game game owns the tittle.

[Majestic-milf]

 I'm certain Jurgen Klopp will not let this game pass him by so much so that even if they don't win it, they will get a draw because if the scoreline ends like this, it will be difficult to get back to the top spot and this is enough motivation to do better this second half..
Liverpool have this ability to come back from a goal down and it's safe to say that City have met their match because if this were to be Man UTD, i'm sure they would have been punished by the counter attacks of Man City but Liverpool have so far kept them in check.

Situation is not bad as Liverpool can still fight back with their performance in the second half because they have few good players, and they can give their best as well in first half we have good control on by both sides and their players are giving their best even stones goal give lead to Manchester City, but things can go either way in second half because Liverpool surely going to have few changes after the half-time their youngster are fail to keep ball well control and Manchester City take good advantage of this miss communication which create problems, and now they concede an early goal.

Both teams are going good and have equal chance for the win even Liverpool is conceded already a goal which was surely not good from the Liverpool players but still I am feeling we can't blame them with they are still good in this game.

[Oluwa-btc]

Darwin Nunez is a player who follows Stones in this situation but he fails and Stones scores for his team. The match from now will be more exciting as Liverpool will have to attack against Manchester City to equalize the match.

Manchester City with their attacking power, ability to counter attack, will create a lot of danger against Liverpool in coming minutes of the first half.

No, Manchester City and Liverpool are both attacking with a high intensity, don't for Liverpool also scored but that was ruled offside by the linesman.
Manchester City has just made good use of the  corner chance they had to score that goal. Quick marking from Darwin Nunez would have prevented that goal from going into goal. John Stones anyways took good use of the chance he got to give Manchester City the lead in the first half of the game.
Both sides are attacking like they should do, I loved that man to man marking Virgil Van Dirk did against Erling Haaland to contain him. Nothing but pure class in that moment.

Tottenham Hotspur have just shown today they was to qualify for the Champions League Competition next season, they're now points away from Manchester United, do you think Manchester United still go a chance of beating Tottenham Hotspur?

[Weawant]

I'm really impressed by Liverpool's performance in the first half even if they are not winning,they are a goal down as Manchester city is leading already but then I'm still very much optimistic about their results because they performance so far has really been brilliant and incredible and they actually aren't playing with their main squad yet the performance is such that Manchester city isn't really having much chance.

Liverpool to me looks like they would be able to make come back by second half and possibly win this game, they appear to me like they are going to possibly get a comeback by the second half and win this game especially if Manchester city is still playing in this their presents pattern but if they get to apply a different strategy by the second half they may be able to see a way of staying ahead of Liverpool still because I'm sure Liverpool is definitely going to take a different dimensions in the second half, Salah may be brought in the second half a d that will mean. Game change.

Manchester city keeps allowing Liverpool to play behind their defense line and I see that as danger looming because Liverpool will not hesitate to take chances this second half unlike that which they did in the first half where they had multiple chances but lacked conversion to a goal but in this second half Liverpool may like end this game in a draw at worse Case but I doubt strongly they would loose this game.

[youdacapt]

I'm really impressed by Liverpool's performance in the first half 

2 great modern premier league side, going toe to toe in the Jürgen Klopp final season before retiring and i have had so much fun. 2 Goals scored in an interesting half and i am sure even the Arsenal players are having a great watch. With Tottenham scoring 4 goals and the west ham tie also recording 4 goals. i have  no doubt that the city tie with Liverpool can also it a 4 goals thriller!

The defense does not retreat well else that goal would have been avoided. Liverpool is down at the break but they are actually playing well and I believe they will turn things around in the second half. They dominate this first half possessively and their ball recovery is very apt but they need more intensity because there's no attempt on goal until that last free kick before the first half whistle. Bringing in Mo Salah into the game might add impact to that front because the pressing is too weak. Diaz is very indecisive, crossing is very necessary if you want to score but there's no enough yet. Manchester city is not playing to my expectation at the moment. Second half already underway, let see how it goes.
