Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[puloweh555]

The reason why in the first meeting Arsenal managed to beat Man City was because they were without De Bruyne who was injured and the match also took place at Arsenal's home ground. Now Man City's strength is so complete and they have the advantage of playing at home so I think it will be much more difficult for Arsenal to beat Man City. The tension of the match is also different because it is a fairly important match for the start of the title this season so both of them will play quite carefully.

If Arsenal loses then their chances of winning the English league will be smaller, unless they can hold a draw or win the match. This will be a big match in the English league because there are bets on who will lose or who will win. But even so, I am more confident that Man City will win the match because they are playing in front of their own crowd.

I think in a big match like this playing in front of opposing fans will have no effect at all because Arsenal is a team that already has a high mentality. This match is very crucial for both teams, and both teams must get three points in this match otherwise Liverpool will move up to first place because Liverpool have opponents who are slightly easier to get three points from.

Indeed, in the previous match Man City lost to Arsenal because one of the Man City players suffered an injury, especially Kevin de Bruyne's injury, but this did not make Arsenal afraid to face Man City. Because just looking at Arsenal's development this season compared to last season, Arsenal this season is better prepared to face all the big matches. Just look at Arsenal this season, they are clearly the best team in the EPL league, beating Man City and Liverpool quite easily, but because they haven't won the league for a long time, people won't believe that they can actually win it.

Arsenal winning the premier League is like wanting a Cow to pass through the hole of a needle.. it's an impossible mission if you ask me, and I believe they are actually fighting to remain in the top four to qualify for the champions League.. Although they have been playing impressive football since last season and bravo to them for that but winning the league is another level itself.. with clubs like Manchester city, Liverpool who have also been in good form this season it'll  take a big miracle for Arsenal to lift the trophy this season.. Let's also not forget that they'll play Manchester city immediately after the international break probably is the reason bukayo saka is claiming to be injured..

I disagree with you that this is an impossible mission for Arsenal if they want to compete for the Premier League title this season. Did you think it would be easy for any other club to win the Premier League title if Arsenal did not win? Arsenal has the same level of enthusiasm for winning it as they do, and they can win it if they win all of their games to displace the teams at the top of the standings because their point differentials are not that large. Even if it appears impossible, they will try to win it and not give up hope so easily.

I'll agree with you to some extent but from the type of game arsenal plays (Entertaining game) winning the big clubs to clinge the trophy will be extremely difficult..
Just as you've said that the point margin between the top 3 aren't that much that's how competitive it'll be and we've seen from previous years of how careless arsenal are.. Loosing points at the most crucial moments is what arsenal are good at.. If they utilize and bask on the defensive weaknesses of Manchester city they might get a draw but a win is a no no..

[Josefjix]

Many people will be astonished if Arsenal wins this league; many people continue to look down on Arsenal, forgetting the kind of capacity we possess as a club. People look down on Arsenal too much, and it's not as if we're not performing well; we've won our last five games, and the question is what will happen if we win the Premier League. If it comes to qualifying for the Champions League, that is obviously something we are competing for, as is winning the Premier League. And I don't think we want to stay in fourth our goal right now is to win. At some point i was growing furious the way you were saying thing about Arsenal and they are try seriously and they deserve son credit. Is not really easy on the pitch. Why would Saka claim to be injured if he was injured? We aren't afraid to play. Man City.

Winning the EPL becomes a race for three major teams. Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, they're the topping clubs and giving up is not an excuse for any of them. Arsenal are centered with good points and stellar performance, they are underrated due to their previous records and dissapointing results in matches. Mikel Arteta and his team failed to win the EPL last season, they were in good shape and had everything necessary to win but during mid-season, they started having complicated issues when it comes to winning, there's no better chance than using good points to top second position.

What you are saying now is that Arsenal did not have any hope of winning this season's Premier League trophy. You are really funny; I don't know what you were really looking at when you decided to judge Arsenal in that way. If you are using last season to judge Arsenal, I will say you are getting it wrong. The first thing you should look at is whether it is the same squad arsenal used last season they are using this season.
 
And another thing: again, Manchester City was in great form toward the end of the last season, but currently, Manchester City's performance is not as great as that of last season; they are not playing so well that they were playing towards the end of the season, and seriously, if you look at their performance compared with Arsenal this season, I think both teams are performing at the same level if Arsenal's performance for this season is not even better than Manchester City's.
 
At the point that Arsenal is already topping the table, I believe they will do anything possible not to move away from the top of the table. Why do I believe that it is very possible for them to win the Premier League title this season? It is all because they have the squad, and I really found the seriousness in the Arsenal squad currently. In the upcoming matches between Arsenal and Manchester City, both teams have an equal opportunity of winning the match, despite it being Manchester City's home. If others can win Manchester City's game or draw Manchester City, why can't Arsenal do so?

I think, Pochettino have a lot of things to do to make his players to start doing what will bring glory to the team because Chelsea management spend a huge amount of money to signed potential players in the Summer, but the results people are seeing from Chelsea in this season is very poor. All Chelsea players are good in international football which we have seen what they where displaying through out their matches but they find it difficult to understand themselves in Chelsea which is the reason they don't display excellent performance in the team. I don't think anything is wrong with the players Pochettino is coaching in this season, I believe with time all those players will understand themselves better to make their coach feel comfortable with their display.

I'm not here to blame anyone when Chelsea experiences a downturn, losing its glory days, even though the players and coaches have tried in various ways to improve their performance to take back their glory days, it will still be a little difficult and we have to be able to understand Chelsea current situation because there is no team. popular which has always been able to survive its heyday.
we can see the condition of other teams like Man United which have also lost their glory days and this is very normal and no one needs to be blamed when situations like this happen and in my opinion it is just a matter of time for Chelsea management to change the team to get its glory days like before with great coaches and quality players.
for me, this situation will improve when I find a coach who really can manage Chelsea perfectly, but for several seasons it looks like it will still be difficult.

In fact, Chelsea has quite capable resources and has many talented players, but this downturn will never be separated from the performance of the coach and of course the coach is the person most responsible for every condition experienced by every football team.
Coach mistake was in making decisions about all his players, just look at Chelsea, there are quite lot of players on loan contracts and of course this really affects the stability of the team performance.
When team lacks several players due to loans, it is clear that player crisis will occur and ultimately the quality of performance will decrease and the team strength will weaken and this is why Chelsea is having very difficult time developing and becoming strong team.
If next season Chelsea can take some of the players who have been on loan and really make changes well then it is possible that there will be significant changes little by little.

But in my opinion Chelsea and Manchester United have differences, Manchester United can still be much better than Chelsea and of course the problems that occur are much more complicated than those experienced by Chelsea.
Even though periods of loss of glory are natural thing to happen and many teams have experienced it, there are also some team that always get the right coach and can make team always have full strength every season.

Actually to me, this Chelsea team is not that bad, just that the team is filled with under 21 players which is a problem when they are mostly playing against an experience team, though I believe that with time, they will grow and blend more with each other, but it's going to take them time, like 3 to 4 seasons before they might even get into the champions league position, because this Chelsea team am seeing so, have a very long way to go in terms of raising the standard back to the level of their glory days.

And as for mudrik, I just think it's a matter of confidence, the guy is struggling with confidence due to the pressure placed on him when playing for Chelsea, but when playing for Ukraine, he plays freely because he is the star player there, and their is no pressure on him to deliver, so that just the difference, he doesn't just know how to cope with pressure of playing for a bigger team.

Pochettino changed the team once he joined there and he released many older players who got many salaries at Chelsea. Most of these players joined the Saudi League or the other teams but Chelsea didn't really need these players and instead of using these old players, he started hiring younger talents for Chelsea, that's why the fans don't want to force the team to get him fired. Because he is the coach who thinks about the future of the team.
But even if Pochettino is not under too much pressure because of using the younger players, still this team couldn't get the result he wanted to get and there is the same situation in Manchester United, but I think Chelsea hasn't have had a bad performance considering the age of their players.

The reason why in the first meeting Arsenal managed to beat Man City was because they were without De Bruyne who was injured and the match also took place at Arsenal's home ground. Now Man City's strength is so complete and they have the advantage of playing at home so I think it will be much more difficult for Arsenal to beat Man City. The tension of the match is also different because it is a fairly important match for the start of the title this season so both of them will play quite carefully.

If Arsenal loses then their chances of winning the English league will be smaller, unless they can hold a draw or win the match. This will be a big match in the English league because there are bets on who will lose or who will win. But even so, I am more confident that Man City will win the match because they are playing in front of their own crowd.

I agree with your reasoning there, it was a home game for Arsenal but in fact it wasn't just about De Bruyne. Pep Guardiola has difficulty making his squad appear impressive because Arsenal really has an effective strategy. Arsenal built a lot of attacks, they appeared to press and created more goal chances than Manchester City and in the end Gabriel Martinelli's 1 goal was enough to secure 3 points for Arsenal even though it came a few minutes before the end of the match.

But this time Manchester City is different. They will play at home and the squad is also complete compared to the first match at the Emirates, but it is still difficult for us all to predict the result. Manchester City is the favorite of many people, even the bookies also favor them because of their performance, but once again that is not any guarantee of getting Manchester City to win over Arsenal. There is only one team that will win if the two do not draw, but Arsenal's chances of winning are very low.

[Richbased]

Weekend match between Mancity and Arsenal is going to be a very tough match as the both team battle it out to become EPL champions, however, Liverpool is also among the three teams pushing it hard to win the league as well.The season is coming  to an end as it is left with just 10 games before the season ends.If Liverpool wins their matck,and Arsenal and Mancity gets a draw,then Liverpool will go up top again,and maybe this time, Liverpool will no longer come down because they have played almost all the teams that would have given them headache.So all Liverpool fans and players will be praying for a draw between Arsenal and City.

There are no EPL matches this weekend due to the international break that has already started. All games resume next weekend but that's by the way. And yes, you're right about Liverpool club and fans looking forward to that City and Arsenal game because it might be the make or break moment of the title race. If Arsenal wins, that means, Liverpool will have to start scoring plenty of goals so they can meet Arsenal in terms of goal difference. If City wins? Liverpool still tops with 1 point but I'm sure Klopp and his team will prefer to have arsenal in second place rather than City. Too much trauma from City's comeback in recent years.

This stage of the league is a very crucial and critical one for the top league contenders, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester city because anyone of them that flops at this period will certainly give up in the title race and Arsenal though are topping the league table but their hopes of maintaining the top of the league table is slim as a result of the fact that they are meeting a strong contender as well which is Manchester city and considering that Arsenal won Manchester city when they met at Emirate stadium would make Manchester city to stand in retaliation of the defeat they suffered against Arsenal in their first meeting, so it is really a difficult fixture for Arsenal as that match may decide Arsenal chances of winning the premier league this season. City or Arsenal Emerging as the second position in the table isn't the problem because Liverpool must also maintain a consistent form if they manage to reclaim the top position after Arsenal match against Manchester city because the competition is still very much active.

[GiftedMAN]

If you use the term "give up before the match" it seems like your statement is that Arsenal is not optimistic about the match hosting Man City, even though the match will be played at Man City's home ground, it doesn't mean that Arsenal just want to lose points. A draw is already beneficial for Arsenal because sharing points is the target.  their main goal, but on the other hand, if a draw occurs then Liverpool has a chance to beat Arsenal, so like it or not, Arsenal in this match will fight tooth and nail even though they will be busy with various busy schedules to prepare against Bayer Munich in the Champions League, so I think Arsenal should  win whatever the result when the match starts after the international break ends..

Both clubs are preparing for their champions league match, and it is not only Arsenal. It will be better for Arsenal to win the match for them to still remain on the first first position. This is because if Arsenal steps down from being first, it might be impossible for them to go back to top the league.

If the match ends in a draw, it will in Liverpool's favor. This is because, if Liverpool wins their match, they will move to the first position. If City win Arsenal, and Liverpool wins, Liverpool will still be on the first position. Arsenal needs to keep on winning all their matches, if they want to win the trophy this season.

So, this match actually seems to be cornering Arsenal in the fight for the Premier League title, because whatever the result is a draw or loss, Arsenal will still fall from the top of the standings, but it is different if they win then the standings will not change, so the thing Arsenal has to do is win.  is a fixed price for Meriam Landon, apart from that, it is the same as Arsenal handing over the Premier League trophy to the two clubs, Liverpool and Man City, who are waiting for Arsenal's mistakes in carrying out the match.

You must also take into account that both Liverpool and Manchester City can make mistakes later on, it is not a fact that in case of a defeat or draw by arsenal, MC and Liverpool will reach the end of the season without defeat. Liverpool have a match against MU next, I think it will be a tough one. Manchester City have a match with Tottenham (after arsenal). Asrenal have a match with MU and Tottenham. You see, everywhere you look, you can make mistakes in matches against strong opponents.

I think the three teams have other strong matches to play against other small teams which everyone regard as small teams in the premier league but the most important thing to not is that a draw or loss among any of the three title contenders will result to a big problem for any of the team it is not just the Arsenal and the Manchester City game, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City have more than 7 matches to play and the results may not be as expected but it is also the continues performance of any of the team that will determine who will definitely be crowned the league champions but until the final game, we are still unsure of the team that will win the league between Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City.

Let's also not forget that they'll play Manchester city immediately after the international break probably is the reason bukayo saka is claiming to be injured..

If Arsenal is given the opportunity and defeats Manchester City, they will most likely claim the league title. However, it will be very difficult to defeat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, but anything can happen in the game, and Arsenal may be lucky and win the match as they did in the first leg. Guadiola will be very preferable for Arsenal on the 30th after the international break, because they still have the opportunity to win the Premier League title this time and make it back to back.

But if Arsenal loses to Manchester City, Liverpool will win the league, and I know only Klopp can outperform Guadiola in the league, and Manchester City still has challenging games to play in the league, so it will be extremely difficult for Manchester City to win all of their remaining matches. In my opinion, Saka is not hurt; it's simply that they don't want to risk him in the England deliberate break. I'll say Arteta made a good choice, because without Saka, I don't think they'll be able to fight Guadiola at the Etihad.

Currently Arsenal are at the top because they have more goals than Liverpool and that does make things better for Arsenal, and why more people doubt Arsenal because Arsenal often lose concentration so they lose their consistency in getting points like last season even though today they are at the top of the table, we know how man Ciry catches up and makes arsenal not where it was last season so it can't be chased back.

There are quite a lot of matches left and it is always a crucial time for Arsenal in their performance, especially now that the competitors are 3 teams above with a very thin point difference, it will probably provide a much more extraordinary tension than the past, I hope Arsenal will not embarrass their fans again like the past, getting killed at the last time is more sad in my opinion.

[EL MOHA]

You see, everywhere you look, you can make mistakes in matches against strong opponents.

This is exactly what i was saying the other day, this game between them both is actually a game that must be a win for either of them as a win will actually boost the confidence of the winning club going further in the season but this doesn't mean a point dropped in this game means the club has lost the race already there is still more than five games to go after that and most of the oppositions will be in dare need of points and could take away points from any of this clubs, so personally i think the race will be alive on till the end of the season. at this point the clubs needs to treat each game as important as the next one and never under-estimate any of the oppositions at this time

[Ryu_Ar1]

Arsenal built a lot of attacks, they appeared to press and created more goal chances than Manchester City and in the end Gabriel Martinelli's 1 goal was enough to secure 3 points for Arsenal even though it came a few minutes before the end of the match.

A really mature scheme must be thought of now for Arteta and Pep because apart from the whole team there are several core players from each club who really need to anticipate their movements so as not to be troublesome.
KDB, Doku, Foden and Haaland could be very troublesome in terms of movement especially when their movement without the ball is not marked by several defenders which could be troublesome for Arsenal but on the other hand for Arsenal players it is also the same where Manchester City must try to keep an eye on the movement of Arsenal's flanks which are indeed quite fast where Martineli and Saka are possible to comb the field not to mention some midfielders who are always active in attacking like Odegaard it could backfire if released just like that.
With a strong atmosphere now of course we expect an interesting match in this case because after all it is important to make the competition even more worth seeing especially the results of this match could be decisive for the final result of the season.

Arsenal had been known as a club that was very often in bottling the trophies. It has been recorded that the gunner has done it four times in total. We will add another one if this time arsenal will repeat the same mistake again this season. Things go very differ if we are talking about arenal now considering the fact team is performing even better than before.
People know Arsenal as one of the strong clubs in the EPL, but it always performs poorly in the title race. Arsenal's mentality is not as strong as its competitor's. that's something that must be fixed by arteta as soon as possible before the end of season.

There are quite a lot of matches left and it is always a crucial time for Arsenal in their performance, especially now that the competitors are 3 teams above with a very thin point difference, it will probably provide a much more extraordinary tension than the past, I hope Arsenal will not embarrass their fans again like the past, getting killed at the last time is more sad in my opinion.

The tension is already very high now. Arsenal needs always be careful when it will be stepping up. It's caused by the potential to miss three points will always there considering the fact that arsenal has additional competitor to get the title this season.
Im gonna waiting for what surprise will come from arsenal soon. People are starting to feel doubt with arsenal now but let's see how this club to bottle the current EPL trophy again. I will count it as five times ni a rhow which is very bad.

[KTChampions]

I don't know how many people want Manchester City to lose at home to Arsenal. Manchester City are basically favorites to win the match, but there is no guarantee they can win it even though the probability of winning is quite high. The match will be very tiring for both teams especially because both are in good form.

Beating Arsenal may have become a normal job for Pep Guardiola since coaching Manchester City, but I just don't want Pep Guaridola to underestimate Arsenal who are fighting to win their first title with Arteta. Liverpool and Arsenal could stop Manchester City's title dominance this season, but Manchester City doesn't seem to be giving up that easily.

I think this is a typical case when only City fans want a City victory, but the fans of all other teams, even Liverpool, want an Arsenal victory 
Dominant clubs are annoying, and if their dominance is based on dirty dealings, then this increases the irritation tenfold. We can hope that City players will be on their minds already in the game against Real Madrid and Arsenal will earn at least a draw in this game.

I am not convinced that the City players could be distracted by the upcoming game against Real Madrid. There is Pep Guardiola who understands like nobody else how to direct the focus of his players to the single task that is ahead of them and then there is this endless experience playing on the maximum level almost every single game. This may apply to less experienced teams and players, but I don't think that the majority of the City players could lose focus or are less focused than they normally are because there is this clash against Real waiting for them. But still Arsenal has a chance to win the game. City is amazing, but they are not magically protected from losing games.

[Huppercase]

If Arsenal is given the opportunity and defeats Manchester City, they will most likely claim the league title.

Guadiola will be very preferable for Arsenal on the 30th after the international break, because they still have the opportunity to win the Premier League title this time and make it back to back.

It's going to be a big celebration for Arsenal to win Manchester City but it's likely not, maybe it would have happen if it were in Emirate because of th home advantage but it's the same advantage that Arsenal are going to have in their home that Manchester City are going to use to win them in that match. I know football can happen but I'm just confidence in Manchester City to secure this point especially now that Liverpool has given them opportunity to after losing their second goal of the season.

But if Arsenal loses to Manchester City, Liverpool will win the league, and I know only Klopp can outperform Guadiola in the league, and Manchester City still has challenging games to play in the league, so it will be extremely difficult for Manchester City to win all of their remaining matches. In my opinion, Saka is not hurt; it's simply that they don't want to risk him in the England deliberate break. I'll say Arteta made a good choice, because without Saka, I don't think they'll be able to fight Guadiola at the Etihad.

If Arsenal should win that match, then we hope they win because that's not the end of the journey yet, we have seen how Big teams play against each other and either one lose or they draw and then later lose to a small team. Whah they should do after winning this match is to make sure that they win the rest of the match otherwise winning Manchester City and losing to other teams is as good as losing to Manchester City because they will win the rest of theit matches for sure.

[ingiltere]

It's going to be a big celebration for Arsenal to win Manchester City but it's likely not, maybe it would have happen if it were in Emirate because of th home advantage but it's the same advantage that Arsenal are going to have in their home that Manchester City are going to use to win them in that match. I know football can happen but I'm just confidence in Manchester City to secure this point especially now that Liverpool has given them opportunity to after losing their second goal of the season.

I also think Manchester City will make the most of their home advantage, but we all know how they play. As long as Arsenal don't concede a goal, Manchester City can have as much possession as they want. It wouldn't be a surprise if Arsenal score a late goal and win the game. There will be a tactical battle between the managers. Pep and Arteta better see this game as life and death, because it really is. Whoever wins this game will have a very important advantage for the title. I think both sides will play with a lot of control but won't want to settle for a draw either.

[Asiska02]

I think the three teams have other strong matches to play against other small teams which everyone regard as small teams in the premier league but the most important thing to not is that a draw or loss among any of the three title contenders will result to a big problem for any of the team it is not just the Arsenal and the Manchester City game, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City have more than 7 matches to play and the results may not be as expected but it is also the continues performance of any of the team that will determine who will definitely be crowned the league champions but until the final game, we are still unsure of the team that will win the league between Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City.

Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City have made this season premier league to be fun. We have less than ten games for each team to play before the end of the season, and till now we can see the team with the highest success rate of winning the premier league trophy this season. As they are few games to the end of the season, their fixtures are not convincing enough to make it look like all the teams will prevail with full points in all of the matches they will be playing in. Some even still have to meet each other which will definitely create some point gaps between those two teams. With the way the league is going, we will have to wait to witness the final match of the game for each teams before knowing the winner.

[Coyster]

Dominant clubs are annoying, and if their dominance is based on dirty dealings, then this increases the irritation tenfold.

Everything City have achieved, they did so on the field; if you are talking about the EPL charges when you say "dirty dealings", remember that it is innocent until proven guilty, as at this time the EPL are yet to prove their case and City still say they are 100% not guilty. Having said that, whatever the outcome of this trial is, i think it is largely unfair to say all the success City have had is due to dirty dealings, when many of the charges go back to incidences of 10 years ago or more.

That's exactly right, we can't say anything before there is a court decision stating that, Manchester City has been legally and convincingly proven to have committed an FFP violation. In fact, it was not only Pep Guardiola squad that was accused of committing FFP violations, Chelsea was also caught up in similar accusations. If a violation is proven, the sanctions that can be received may not only be a deduction of points, it could be that the two elite teams will be relegated to the Championship division. Although it is annoying, as long as there is no final decision from the court or the Premier League organizers, we cannot say they are guilty.

The violations committed by Nottingham Forest and Everton were different, in that both teams were punished with different points deductions. As a result, The spotlight and accusations regarding violations that may have been committed by Manchester City and Chelsea cannot be avoided. I think if these two teams are relegated the Premier League will no longer be exciting, at least for a season or two. Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United would be too dominant if Manchester City and Chelsea were not there.
