Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[uchegod-21]

Watching Manchester United eliminating Liverpool from the FA Cup quarterfinals really surprising in the eyes of everyone, Liverpool had the higher number of votes for winning but failed. Why points blaming fingers to Jurgen Klopp? He's not the faulty one because his players had the opportunities of netting goals but failed to deliver due to their incompetent performance. They're unable to reach the winning phase and got eliminated in the final minutes of extra time. Liverpool performance was strictly based on their outstanding form, they had the principles and possession required, what happen?

No one is to blame because Liverpool did their best and their performance was as usual in this match, but it's just that luck was not on their side, this is a normal result in football.
Playing at Manchester United's home ground certainly won't be easy for Liverpool and even though Liverpool are favorites in this match, the meeting between the two teams was full of prestige, causing high match tension.

I won't take this too seriously, Manchester United are a top team so it wouldn't be a big surprise if they won this game.

If not that Manchester United started to perform relatively poor this time around, will it be surprising to anyone that Manchester United was able to beat Liverpool? I will not agree that the performance of Liverpool was poor in that very match which is the reason why Manchester United defeated them. I will not also blame the Liverpool coach as many of you have done a both because he has done excellently well and we continue to do well as long as he remains the coach of Liverpool. He is used to the boys and the boys are used to his system. The only thing that happened in that Manchester United versus Liverpool FA Cup meeting is that the Manchester United coach took some extra steps to ensure that he's still performed greatly. It seems that he prepared for it more than Gurgen Klopp did and secondly Manchester united players were all committed to come out victorious and the result favoured them.

Nottingham Forests have breached the PSR(Premier League's profit and sustainability rules) by £34.5 million and will face 4 points deduction this season and if they don't sell one of their star player this coming summer transfer, they'll likely lose more points.
Here's some explanation on the points deduction from the Premier league.

Again and again the financial rules of the Premier League take a toll on small teams like Nottigham Forest after Everton previously experienced the same thing, the 4-point cut is certainly quite painful for Nottingham Forest who are indeed avoiding the relegation zone at this time, yes Luton seems to get a little advantage at this time from cutting points and making Luton temporarily out of the relegation zone at this time,  The 4-point deduction is certainly a light penalty after they were actually deduction 6 points for the foul.
Is it possible that Nottingham will appeal like Everton did before?

Currently, financial violations should be punished so that a club can stay financially secure, but strangely it seems that the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) only target small teams, while teams like Manchester City are not touched at all by these rules even though Manchester City now has 115 allegations of misconduct during the 10 seasons ended,  But strangely when there are so many accusations for Manchester City, the Premier League PSR has not wanted to set a trial court until now, in contrast to Everton and Nottingham Forest who without waiting a long time immediately get penalties such as the point deduction .

Watching Manchester United eliminating Liverpool from the FA Cup quarterfinals really surprising in the eyes of everyone, Liverpool had the higher number of votes for winning but failed. Why points blaming fingers to Jurgen Klopp? He's not the faulty one because his players had the opportunities of netting goals but failed to deliver due to their incompetent performance. They're unable to reach the winning phase and got eliminated in the final minutes of extra time. Liverpool performance was strictly based on their outstanding form, they had the principles and possession required, what happen?

This match is over, Liverpool lost and Manchester United has the right to advance to the next phase. so, it is no longer Jurgen Kloop's business to flashback to the defeat to United in the FA Cup quarter-finals. now, Liverpool's real goals lie in two competitions. Firstly, how Kloop brought the Red to the Premier League trophy during his tenure for the last time before he actually left Anfield this summer. apart from that, Kloop must divide his focus on the European League where they have a chance to win the championship trophy. so, the challenges ahead for Liverpool and Jurgen Kloop are quite tough. In the Premier League, competition is still very tight with 10 matches remaining. however, there is an advantage for Liverpool if the match between City and Arsenal ends in a draw. at the same time, Liverpool must be able to beat the match against Brighton.

If the results match the scenario, Liverpool will automatically move up to the top of the standings again. however, if Arsenal wins, it means that the top position is still occupied by Mikel Arteta's squad. however, if City wins, Liverpool will still be at the top because they are one point ahead.
In other competitions, the European League quarter-final match should belong to Liverpool, both away and away, against Atalanta. and for me, the toughest team is Leverkusen. even then, if Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen both qualify for the final round of the Europa League. so now it's not a matter of the FA Cup, but the two competitions that are in front of them. well, this is just based on the scenario. what is certain is that we will know how Liverpool is progressing in the Premier League and Europa League until the end of this season.

[jaberwock]

It was a sad loss and a disappointing performance, but the good thing is not in the league.
There are bigger games to come, onto the EPL and Europa League.
And I know Liverpool has been amazing this season for real, one bad game doesn't mean this team is bad.
It could even be a blessing in disguise, they will learn and win more prestigious trophies.
And I still believe Liverpool will come back stronger.

I disagree that Liverpool's performance was disappointing; they played well in that match, and losing to Manchester United is not a huge deal. Liverpool has defeated many formidable opponents this season, so it is not as though they are not serious about the match; if you watch the entire thing, you will see that Liverpool scored the third goal. Therefore, I don't hold Liverpool responsible for the result; Manchester United had a chance to win, and they did.

But Manchester United really gave it their all in the game. What a fantastic performance from the reds! I love the intensity and passion they brought to the game; this is exactly the kind of performance we were hoping for from Manchester United. However, even with this impressive display, I am still not satisfied with their performance because they can still make mistakes and lose badly in their next game.

I agree, sometimes it just doesn't happen and there isn't anything that you can do, you just have to accept the situation and move on. I agree that Liverpool played as well as they hope they could, but United just played very well and there is really nothing that we could do. I hope to realize that we are going to see Liverpool do fine rest of the season, they will have a lot more time to rest between games after this loss, which means that players will be well rested in most cases, aside from few UCL game periods.

This should be the most important part because when we are betting, it will get to a point where people will not be certain on what we should be betting and I think Liverpool games at the league could be easier now.

Where are the ideas come from comparison between Jurgen Klopp with Erik ten Hag? I think its not related when comparison with the best manager Erik ten Hag after success eliminating Liverpool on FA Cup quarter final round. Did any remember how many trophies won by Erik ten Hag since becoming Manchester United manager last two season? become the first manager made Manchester United failed in Champion League group phase and this season get potential loss Champion League spot standings. I think the winning against Liverpool on FA Cup is not related comparison by looking current standings of Manchester United in Premier League.
No debate, Juergen Klopp have won Champion League and Premier League trophies is better than Erik ten Hag not winning any competitive trophies yet since become Manchester United manager.

Everyone can say whatever they like and it has even become commonplace to compare two managers when one of them loses a match. This comparison is not only about how many titles they won, but also how well they implemented their strategy when the two teams played each other.

I would say that Ten Hag was better in his last game against Jurgen Klopp in the FA Cup, so I think the comparison is worth it. Regarding the success that has been achieved, of course Jurgen Klopp is known as one of the successful coaches in the Premier League and Europe, but he is not always that good in each different season. This season Jurgen Klopp is still very likely not to win any titles, so I wouldn't say he will always be the best.

[marcous]

The defeat to Manchester United meant that the team coached by Jurgen Klopp was eliminated from the FA Cup not because of poor performance, the tactics used by Erik Ten Hag were superior and were able to reduce the tactics used by Juergen Klopp. Erik Ten Hag became the first coach to achieve consecutive wins at Old Trafford against Klopp Liverpool. This winning record has not been achieved by any previous Manchester United coach since Klopp managed Liverpool. Erik Ten Hag has the opportunity to complete a hat trick of victory over Klopp if Manchester United succeeds in beating Liverpool again at Old Trafford in the Premier League next April.

When Manchester United faced a team that had stronger strength, they played more impressively, especially as we saw a lot of quite good efforts that they put in in that match. Rashford and Antony played quite well where they were able to show their best qualities at Old Trafford which made the match quite interesting for both of them. But when it comes to tactics, I think there was a slight rotation made by Erik in this match which resulted in this change being successfully completed into a victory.

The Liverpool players also showed a good performance where they were able to overwhelm the Manchester united players with their attacks. However, one goal from Diallo drowned liverpool hopes for this match and sealed the victory at 4-3 for Manchester united. Onana received praise after this match, he was really able to block several shots on target, I think he must maintain his good form to help Manchester united reach the FA Cup final. I hope that the FA Cup final can bring Manchester united vs Manchester city together because this will be a big stage for the best strengths of these two teams.

This winning record has not been achieved by any previous Manchester United coach since Klopp managed Liverpool. Erik Ten Hag has the opportunity to complete a hat trick of victory over Klopp if Manchester United succeeds in beating Liverpool again at Old Trafford in the Premier League next April.

If we look at the history of meetings between Liverpool and Manchester United, we can see that these teams took turns beating each other. Even last season, at the start of the season Manchester United won but then at the end of the season Liverpool won with a big score. And at the start of the season in the Premier League, the Manchester United vs Liverpool match actually ended in a draw and only yesterday in the FA Cup was there a winner again in the match that brought the two together. So it could be said that Klopp and Ten Hag just always beat each other one after another and there is nothing surprising and nothing special about all that. It's just that Manchester United's performance in the Premier League can still be said to be starting to improve too. Because Manchester United is slowly approaching 5th place at the moment. And in the FA Cup Manchester United managed to qualify for the semi-finals. And it's also not a surprise because the inconsistent Chelsea managed to qualify for the semi-finals. It's just that Chelsea was unlucky because in the semi-finals they had to face Manchester City. But Manchester United is lucky because in the semi-finals they will only face Coventry City. So we can probably predict the result, namely that Manchester United will probably qualify for the final with Manchester City. But in the Premier League, I'm pretty sure Manchester United won't be able to beat Liverpool in the match that brings them back together with Liverpool later.

[Frankolala]

Everyone also knows that Jurgen Klopp is better than Erik ten Hag and maybe his fans are exaggerating just because they managed to get rid of Liverpool in the FA Cup match. It must be admitted that this time Jurgen Kloop lost and I think that is a normal thing in football when the results are not as expected. But if you look back, there are quite a few contributions that Jurgen Kloop has made to Liverpool. As you said, winning the EPL is something Liverpool have longed for for so long and they can feel it again after Jurgen Kloop arrived at Anfield.

But not only that, the young squad that Jurgen Klopp has built in the past few years is also very special and has transformed into extraordinary players. I think his legacy will continue even if Jurgen Klopp leaves at the end of the season and I think Erik ten Hag has just started at Manchester United and still needs more time like Jurgen Kloop did for Liverpool.

Of course these two coaches cannot be compared because in terms of achievements of course Kloop is far superior because he has succeeded in bringing Liverpool several trophies. Indeed, Liverpool defeat in the FA Cup sparked various arguments and indeed the match was quite fierce with both teams buying and selling attacks. Of course, for Erik ten Hag, he has a chance to win a trophy this season and of course they have to maximize this opportunity well.

For Liverpool, they still have two chances to get a trophy and of course the fans disappointment can be alleviated if they are successful in the European league and in the Premier League. But for the Premier League, as we know, this season the competition is very strong and perhaps Liverpool steps to win the Premier League really have quite strong obstacles this season.

I don't see why anyone should compare Ten Hag amd Klopp because they are not in the same category. Is it just because Manchester united managed to defeat Liverpool and advance to the semifinals means that Eric Ten Hag has achieved something great, when he has not even won the FA Cup. This should be a shame to those who are saying this because Manchester united is bigger than just winning Liverpool.

It is quite a tough journey for Liverpool to finish as first and the winner of this season premiere league, because they habe strong clubs to face that if they are not careful, they might drop points. I love the little difference in their points because it will make them more serious with every match that they will be playing.

Well, maybe currently people's reactions to the victory that Man United achieved against Liverpool in the FA Cup seem exaggerated. But I also understand this because no one expected that Man United, who was inconsistent in the Premier League, could play impressively in the FA Cup and beat Liverpool. And actually in this match both teams played equally well. Even the number of shots on goal both have the same number. So it's natural that many people comment on this. All I can say for this match is great appreciation for Ten Hag's troops. But the real test for Man United may be if they qualify for the final and in the Final they have to face Man City. But it would be a double surprise if it turned out that it was Chelsea and not Man City who qualified.

I hope that the FA Cup final can bring Manchester united vs Manchester city together because this will be a big stage for the best strengths of these two teams.

Indeed, in this season Manchester United managed not to lose by Liverpool because after all, their first meeting this season was also in a Premier League match when Liverpool played at home, but Manchester United managed to hold Liverpool with a goalless draw because the final score was 0-0. Also, misfortune happened again to Liverpool against Manchester United in the FA Cup because Liverpool lost the match.

But for me, even though Liverpool was eliminated in the FA Cup but because match was played at Old Trafford then yes, it's natural that Liverpool lost. But anyway, Liverpool is also really not easy to beat even though Liverpool doesn't play all its key players in that match. But for their next meeting match in the Premier League match later even though it will be played at Old Trafford too, I personally still believe that Liverpool are still able not to lose because I am sure Liverpool will beat Manchester United at Old Trafford later.

That result was really unexpected. I thought Klopp would achieve the FA Cup title as well after doing so in the EFL Cup. However they said an early goodbye in the quarter finals.

But I must really admit that it was a superb match! Both sides made a huge effort and that comeback by Manchester United in extra time was really worth watching. Amad Diallo can't find much chance to play but this youngster scored the goal to bring the semi finals to his team in the last moments.    Klopp must be sad after the result but he still has the Premier League and Europa League titles waiting to be achieved too.

[Ahli38]

I also think the same as you that even though Liverpool lost in the FA Cup, that doesn't mean Liverpool will also lose to Manchester United in the Premier League. In fact, I am quite sure that Manchester United will not be able to beat Liverpool in the Premier League. It's just quite unfortunate. Because while many people are starting to expect Klopp to get lots of trophies this season with Liverpool, Liverpool are actually starting to miss opportunities one by one to win trophies. Now only the Premier League and European League remain. And I hope Klopp doesn't fail to bring his troops to lift the trophy on the two remaining occasions.

But it would be a double surprise if it turned out that it was Chelsea and not Man City who qualified. 

Remember the match in the FA Cup final with Chelsea, there was also a very difficult game in which it was difficult to determine who deserved to win. When it comes to playoff matches, the team can play with full dedication, and I think that Manchester United were just more fortunate in that match, that’s all. Let's look at their further results in the Premier League, but something tells me that we will have quite a few matches when Manchester United will lose points.

[Furious 7]

But for their next meeting match in the Premier League match later even though it will be played at Old Trafford too, I personally still believe that Liverpool are still able not to lose because I am sure Liverpool will beat Manchester United at Old Trafford later.

In my opinion, losing just because it shows playing at Old Trafford or an away match cannot be used as a strong reason because everything starts from the performance in the end.
Indeed, playing away sometimes provides great pressure for a club including that for Liverpool but it cannot be used as a strong reason because after all it doesn't really make sense considering everything that happens is back to performance.

When Liverpool played against Mancheser United they played very well and indeed it cannot be denied because indeed their performance was very good only that Manchester United played better.
They continued to try with conditions where they lost possession but the speed of some players like Garnacho was used as a reference for counterattacks and the proof was that they won with 2 mistakes made by Liverpool players in intercepting the ball.

That's the beauty of football, because for me it's even good that united won because more competition to play might even give Liverpool a slow down on their pressure to successfully conquer the English premier league because I believe that would be the greatest target for them and even for kloop and if they succeed it would be as a farewell present for him as a job and time well spent at anfield since he has decided to leave after the end of season.

[Raflesia]

Amad Diallo can't find much chance to play but this youngster scored the goal to bring the semi finals to his team in the last moments.    Klopp must be sad after the result but he still has the Premier League and Europa League titles waiting to be achieved too.

They played well and indeed even though Liverpool lost but they also fought very hard in this match even though the results were not as expected.
In this match Liverpool played very well but Manchester United were able to provide good resistance because they also seemed to get new strength when playing at their own home because the supporters who provided support was really a separate pressure for Liverpool in performance .In addition Liverpool fatigue factor, which is indeed too much in terms of players and young players who are still not too mature also in terms of decision making, is one of the situations that does need to be considered but it is also good for the development of some young players.

Now Liverpool only have to refocus on the EPL and Europa League currently their chances are still very large in this competition, do not let the defeat in this week's match in the FA Cup disrupt their momentum in other competitions.

[Ndabagi01]

I also think the same as you that even though Liverpool lost in the FA Cup, that doesn't mean Liverpool will also lose to Manchester United in the Premier League. In fact, I am quite sure that Manchester United will not be able to beat Liverpool in the Premier League. It's just quite unfortunate.

Now only the Premier League and European League remain. And I hope Klopp doesn't fail to bring his troops to lift the trophy on the two remaining occasions.

Lifting the remaining two trophies will be a difficult task for Klopp, but I am confident he will do his best to win at least one of them for his team. In the Premier League, Manchester City and Arsenal are major opponents who can deny him the league title, while in the Europa League, which appears to be easier to reach the finals, Bayern Leverkusen may be their opponent for the final match, which does not appear to be an easy trophy to win. I haven't lost hope in Klopp and Liverpool yet, but their performances from now until the end of the season will determine what they can achieve by end of the season. Losing to Manchester United in the FA Cup doesn’t mean they’ll do the same in the premier league. These are two different games and are played with different intents on how serious they’re to them.

[Sakanwa]

It was reported earlier last week that England called up Arsenal's right back,Ben White for International friendlies,and he refused to to answer them.It is rumoured that he had a clash with England's head coach in the world cup,which made him leave the world cup angrily without playing a match,and later posted Arsenal's  logo immediately he got home.
It is said that his grievances comes from the England's coach refusal to use him,so instead of him being kept on the bench,he went home from the world cup.
Now that they've called him,he chose to snub their calls.
To me,this serves them right, because I don't see on earth how Maguire is better than him.He is Àrsenal's first choice  and deserves to be played.But I believe the gunners are in support of his decision.

Correct. But if we think back to last season's FA Cup, it is not much different from this season's FA Cup. And I think the Final match in the FA Cup will repeat history again. Because I remember again that the FA Cup final last season also took place between Man City vs Man United. And maybe the scenario will be the same, namely Man United will qualify for the Final and so will Man City. So the two of them will meet again in the Final like last season and present a quite extraordinary Derby. because two teams from the same city were able to reach the final together.

But in the Premier League, difficult matches await Man United, namely against Chelsea and Liverpool again in the near future. and maybe Man United will drop points on one of them.

But it would be a double surprise if it turned out that it was Chelsea and not Man City who qualified. 

All possibilities can happen, as we know that there is no guarantee that the favorite team can win the championship trophy, although on paper Man City deserves to be more favorite in the FA Cup. Man United victory over Liverpool was quite surprising, because the performance of the two teams in the Premier League was very different. However, Liverpool will not be discouraged by their failure in the FA Cup, because Jurgen Klopp squad still has two other hopes in the Premier League and Europa League. Sure enough, it would be surprising if Chelsea could eliminate Man City, as well as Coventry City eliminating Man United, it would really be a double surprise.

Man United should be proud of their progress to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, because that is a trophy they are still likely to win this season, as is Chelsea. These two elite teams will fight tooth and nail to win the trophy, because if they fail they will end the season with zero trophies. Pochettino squad actually has a more bitter fate, because they also have the potential to miss European competition again for two consecutive seasons. Personally I predict Man City will advance to the final and they will lift the trophy.
