Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

Yes, it looks like Arsenal Liverpool and Manchester City will be chasing each other in terms of points until the end of the season and it will be difficult for these 3 teams to drop to 4th place because the points difference with Aston Villa is quite large.

What they care about right now is the championship. If they don't win the championship trophy, 2nd, 3rd or 4th place is not important to them. And with the upcoming match between Arsenal and Mancester City, there will be teams falling behind. There will be no second chance to correct mistakes because this is their last direct confrontation. The result of this match will greatly affect the Premier League championship this year. I hope Arsenal can defeat Mancity, to start a new era.

I think this is actually true bro, this is the last confrontation between one of the teams fighting for the title, so their is no second redemption after this meeting, and after this particular game, it will be obvious that the faith of one of this teams will definitely be in their hands, so I think this particular game is really going to play a crucial role in who is going to be crown champions between now and the end of the season, it's a must win game for the both teams, and as for Liverpool, it's going to be a win win game for them if it ends in a draw, but it's really going to be a fascinating contest among them, between now and the end of the season.

[HajiBagi]

The game will be away and I think we know how dangerous Manchester United can be at home. That's why I'm sure they will fight against Liverpool and get the 3 points if they're lucky. It is obvious that it will be a fierce match. The important thing is to compete in the best way possible in these matches. Manchester United likes to focus on the big games. They can harm Liverpool on their way to the championship.

Manchester United sometimes always surprises us when they meet Liverpool and several other big teams except Manchester City. In the upcoming match against Liverpool, I think Manchester United can be expected to give Liverpool a hard blow. Because Manchester United will host the upcoming match when they meet Liverpool. But actually it will still be difficult to predict whether Manchester United or Liverpool will win. Liverpool are in a position that requires them to continue collecting points so as not to be left behind by Arsenal and Manchester City. And Manchester United is also trying to get closer to Tottenham who are ranked 5th. So Manchester United also has the opportunity to end the season without getting anything if they continue to fail to get full points. Well, basically both teams will be in a difficult position if they lose points. Especially Liverpool, who are currently competing for the title this season in the Premier League.

Although I know Manchester United played a very good match against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarterfinal, which was one of their best performances this season, that shouldn't have given us hope that Manchester United can play that well in their next match. Although Manchester United has players who, when they are serious, can play very well and win a match, sometimes their performances look like an academy team or a small team that doesn't know how to play football. For that reason, I don't trust Manchester United as much.

Liverpool, on the other hand, is also playing well, and as we all know, they are currently competing with two teams for the Premier League title. Liverpool will not allow any team to defeat them at this time, not even in a draw. If Liverpool makes a small mistake now, they will lose their position, and I don't think they will get it back because Manchester City and Arsenal will continue to play well. Although Manchester United is also vying for a spot that will allow them to compete in the Champions League or Europa League next season, but I don’t think it will be very easy for United to get the position.

Manchester United eliminated from the UEFA Champions League at early phase and they have other title to fight really hard for. Manchester United have been struggling all through despite having what it takes to reach crucial position on the table, they're 100% heading to important phases this season. Manchester United succeeded in eliminating Liverpool in the quarter-final of the FA Cup this season. A joyful moment for the Red Devils, they didn't relent but in pursuit for outstanding performance. Erik Ten Hag did his best to grab significant points and he will definitely receive the require accolades for the winning.

FA Cup is where Manchester United can win title in this season but they have to focus on Premier League too. They need to complete this season in Premier League well to return to Champions League 2024 - 2025. They are a big club with good history, tradition and reputation, Champions League is where they belong to. Returning to Champions League will help them to feel they successfully return to top level and it will help their club finance too.

Everyone was expecting Liverpool to beat Manchester United at Anfield when they played their first match in the Premier League this season, but Liverpool failed to win against Manchester United. I think Manchester United knows how to play against Liverpool this season because they have played each other two times this season, and Liverpool has not had any wins in those two meetings.

Before those matches, Klopp said Liverpool can not win Manchester United with big results like a tennis match. He is an experienced coach and knows that such big wins are from collapse of their opponent in mentality. Without mentality collapse in a match, it's hard to beat a big competitor with a big result.

Like Germany won Brazil big at semi final in World Cup 2014, it is a big shock but really hard to repeat in any match between Germany and Brazil.

Manchester United returning to the Champions league won't happen this season. It is not enough being a big team and just rely on past glory. As a big team you need to be maintaining that standard by continually being innovation and adapting to the new challenge and demand from the league, if this is not done you will fade away. Manchester United were too reluctant in making drastic changes and they thought that their status as a big team will always make way for them and this thinking lead to their fall and decline. For them to get back to were they used to be, they need to make good decisions that will help the club. Other clubs are also coming up and they want to take over. When Alex Farguson was Manchester United coach, the success he brought to the club made them too relaxed. For Manchester United to be champions league regulars again, they have to work harder than the other clubs in the league.

The English League match hasn't started yet, yes I can't wait to see the match again but it looks like the Manchester City vs Arsenal match will always be in the public spotlight because the competition between Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City is getting fiercer and is being talked about a lot by the public because of the small difference in points. Very exciting competition between Arsenal Liverpool and Manchester City.

After the international break is over now we will all enjoy the Premier League match again Sunday, the Newcastle vs Westham match will be the opening Premier League match after the holiday of the last few weeks, the match between Newcastle vs Westham will certainly be a very decisive match for Newcastle to pave their way to reach the position of the European competition zone,  Newcastle are currently 13 points lose of Tottenham at the Europa zone boundary and although it is difficult, of course Newcastle must be able to work hard to achieve it after this season they spent a lot of money.

The bigmatch match between Arsenal and Manchester City will certainly be a very exciting and decisive match for both teams in fighting for the EPL title this season, the difference of one point between when the team certainly promises a competition that is indeed tight until the end of the season, currently Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City will have a crucial match so it is can not for them to drop points at this time, because it will make a direction The championship competition changes later.

Liverpool knows how to win against Manchester United, even in Manchester United's best season. Manchester United's performance this season is poor, but Liverpool could not win against Manchester United both in the Premier League and FA Cup. Manchester United will still use the tactics that have been working for them against Liverpool to hold Liverpool to a draw or beat them at Old Trafford. The last match between Liverpool and Manchester ended in a 0-0 draw at Liverpool Stadium.

Although Liverpool is much more consistent than Man United. But somehow Man United always manages to overwhelm Liverpool every time they meet. It seems that Erik Ten Hag really understands the strategy made by Klopp. Even when Klopp made the Liverpool squad make continuous aggressive attacks, it turned out that the Man United squad at that time was actually able to withstand every attack made by the Liverpool squad. So I always feel that the meeting between these two teams is always difficult to predict and betting on this match also carries a higher risk. But this time it looks like I will prefer Liverpool. Unless I change my mind again.

sometimes, if a team meets frequently, one of the coaches has the intelligence to assess the weaknesses of the strategies used by other coaches, such as in the case of Liverpool and Man United, or even the entire EPL team also does the same thing.
In the last few meetings, Man United has been far superior to Liverpool because in fact Ten Hag already has Liverpool weakness and in my opinion, Liverpool weakness is that Man United often concedes through side attacks.
but in the upcoming match Man United vs Liverpool, if I choose one of the winning teams, I will choose Man United.

[dezoel]

Newcastle United is also having a bad season but, sky sports and the english media will not do all these bullshit they're doing with Erik Ten Hag, why's that? Because Eddie Howe is one of them, and these is how they sell out them own. Manchester United and Newcastle United feel of both from the Champions League, but the displays of Manchester United fans and management has got to be hell childish.
I wish they can back the manager ( Erik Ten Hag ) same way ( Eddie Howe ) is being backed.

Mind you, Erik Ten Hag won them a trophy last season, qualified them for the Champions League, now this season, he still has a good chance of qualifying them yet again and also one step away from the cup finals.

Not just Luke, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, Wan Bisakka, Mason Mount are player's who have been out Injured, how do they want him to perform? Without his best squad? The medical team is also one side to point at if they're doing them jobs very well for these players. He still has time to convince management he is the right man for the job. At least on more fight to winning another cup in his second season.

Here you all postmortem is valid for these two teams with even we can say Newcastle United is having terrible time and things are going not favourable even for them to have spot into top six and Manchester United is still had fair chance for again jumping at the top four and also having another the FA Cup which but mostly English media is speaking against Erik ten Hag which is doing much better than Eddie Howe because he is local, and Erik Ten is Dutch so they needed to be fair for the all even Manchester United fans are doing things which are not acceptable.

Both teams are facing same circumstances like very long list of the injured players which are not available for the many matches lets watch how Manchester United ended their season, and we will be having another season for the Erik ten Hag, or he is going to leave this is also not clear because we have too many rumours around them with things will be clear after end of this season.

Nottingham Forest have confirmed they are appealing the Premier League's decision to deduct them four points for breaches of Profit & Sustainability Rules (PSR).

Source: https://www.90min.com/posts/nottingham-forest-appeal-premier-league-points-deduction


Nottingham Forest has not given up, not yet. It's known how Nottingham Forest got a 4 point deduction from the EPL because it has proven to have violated the PSR rules. It's not only Nottingham Forest, but clubs like Everton have gotten their sanction, and there will be more Everton to come soon. The club has not yet released an official statement but expect a statement came from the club on monday as when everything will be fully prepared. 4 points meant a lot for Nottingham forest because the club is still struggling to leave from the relegation zone. Everton is now out from relegation zone after forest got 4 points deduction after it has violated PSR rules.

Everton potentially to get another financial charge related to the first sanction. Nottingham Forest surely does not violate PSR rules. I know that if 4 points are not a lot but since nottingham forest is not in the relegation zone it can help club to survive being relegated to the lower division like championship league.
Nottingham coach must have pushed his players to play more than their limit. Nottingham really needs three points that will be greatly helpful to the club. I can only say that i hope nottingham will able to get their 4 points back again.

[Salahmu]

To me it's quite logical that Manchester city is almost everyone's favorite to lift this year premier league title, due to their experience and debth within the ranks of their squad, but to me, I really don't think they are that good this season,

You are actually right because Manchester City last season and now are actually not the same because last season to an extend we were thinking that Arsenal will win the league but do to how consistent Manchester City is they were able to win there way to the first position and at the end wining the trophy. So actually the kind of favour that followed them last season is not longer with them on this season because for now Liverpool and Arsenal are the most favoured because unlike there last season when Arsenal was there only competitor but this season not only Arsenal but also Liverpool, although there chances are not yet over because they still have the chance to compete with Liverpool only if they can win Arsenal on there meeting and if they draw it will still affect them because Arsenal and Liverpool will still be ahead of them.

In essence, in this season or at this moment Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal still both have a chance to get the trophy. Unless, if in the next Premier League match Arsenal beat Manchester City, then Manchester City will be left in thirdplace but still, eventhough if for example Arsenal managed to beat Manchester City but Arsenal also still cannot be said to have won the trophy. Becauseanyway, there is still Liverpool who will continue to stick to Arsenal at the top of the standings because of the same points. Therefore, basically we still cannot determine the trophy-winning team this season, because the competition for the trophy this season is really tight.

That's right but the reason is that it will likely be very easy for Arsenal to win the league if they eventually win Manchester City because if you check there upcoming matches after there match against Manchester City you will see that those matches are not going to be too difficult for them to win because they have more impressive performance than those clubs, however the only premier League clubs that would trouble them a bit will be there match against Manchester United and Chelsea but with the current performance of Arsenal they have every opportunity of winning those matches, so perhaps this is the reason why it may likely be very difficult for Liverpool to bring Arsenal down from the first position, although the upcoming matches for Liverpool may likely be very easy for them too because those matches are not much of a strong matches to them so there prayer on this match will be for the both team to draw or Manchester City wins because that's the only way they could take back the first position if they win there next match.

[Webetcoins]

I find your words not to be accepted, for you to first assume that Manchester United will give Liverpool a difficult time winning them.
Are you really making this kind of remark based on how both teams had played against each other in the last meeting of the FA Cup, which Manchester United won 4-3? Anyway, I want to burst your bubble that, Manchester United wouldn't be that lucky to win against Liverpool even though it is a home match for them. I am looking at victory for Liverpool because they won't make the mistake of losing, because they are aware of their goals to get ''the PL trophy'' for their soon-to-leave coach

Everyone was expecting Liverpool to beat Manchester United at Anfield when they played their first match in the Premier League this season, but Liverpool failed to win against Manchester United. I think Manchester United knows how to play against Liverpool this season because they have played each other two times this season, and Liverpool has not had any wins in those two meetings.

Just winning in the FA Cup has never been guaranteed to have win in every game with Manchester United performance against Liverpool at the Old Trafford is impressive last time Liverpool won their game back in 2021 and after this they fail to win any game into their three attempts which is surely giving view how tough this rivalry is, and Manchester United will surely give their best again in coming game which is important for both teams.

Now after this international break things could be not on level due to many injuries even right now we have no updates about any player but still few clubs are going to suffer, and they will pay for this as well so we have to wait for few more days than clearly we will have all updates about all teams and clubs how they will be able to perform.

However at least it can be seen that Manchester United's performance is getting better, being able to do the same thing is not an easy thing and now Manchester United also has quite a lot of motivation to achieve positive results in order to continue competing to finish in the top 4 of the standings.

After the international break there will be possibilities that the team will accept and that is quite normal, sometimes players return to the team with injuries and sometimes players return to the team with high self-confidence after performing well with their country and that will have a positive impact on team.

[rendravolt]

The international break was again a disaster and this time it was reported that Harry Maguire had to leave England early because he suffered an injury against Brazil some time ago. It seems that Harry Maguire also doesn't want to take any more risks and is prioritizing his recovery so that it is faster and can strengthen Manchester United again. As we know, Harry Maguire has been Erik ten Hag's mainstay for the central defender position for quite a long time and therefore if he gets worse then Manchester United will find it difficult to find other options.

I think that after experiencing a difficult season with Manchester United, Harry Maguire cannot lose his performance again and considering that Lisandro Martinez is also still injured, he is the only hope for the defense along with Varane. Apart from that, it is reported that the injury is not too serious and he will only be out for a short time. If you look at Manchester United's schedule this week, they will play Brentford, it is certain that Harry Maguire will be absent from that match.

This is why i don't like international break. It costs the club a lot of resources since many players were injured. Just like when guardiola must have missed kyle walker in so many important games. It was also giving very bad impact to the performance from city when it will be facing many strong clubs.
I think that club shall think wisely about this caused by it will be so bad if they are missing some good players when they are gonna face important matches like against arsenal or real madrid. Having walker is a very important point to keep it strong.
The international break has ruinted some important players from the various clubs which are also disrupting their performance

However, sometimes it is uncomfortable when you have to refuse a call from the national team and I think it is a disappointing thing if when needed the national team cannot be present. Maybe this attitude should emerge from the national team itself, where when they know their players have to strengthen their team in an important match or are competing to win the title, the national team should be able to give them relief not to call them up. Especially if it's just a friendly match that doesn't change anything other than just testing the team's cohesion.

Sometimes they know that it's just a friendly match, but the players play seriously, whether it's because of the prestige of playing for the national team or because they really want to be like that. In the end, hard violations leading to tackles resulting in injuries also did not escape the outcome of the match. I think this will be detrimental to future performance and so far I am still listening to Kyle Walker and Harry Maguire, hoping no other players suffer the same injury.

Win against Liverpool is surely good and will increase their confidence but still things are they are inconsistent which is their main problem, and they needed good depth into their game for having better results consistently which are not coming even they are having few top quality players if they are able to have better results and things as they needed in last few rounds of this season then surely we can expect another good end for them which could be impressive and things can go favourable for the Ten Hag as well which are currently uncertain.

Now after the international break we are expecting some changes due to injured players even currently nothing is clear but still few changes and decrease in performance can happen for the few teams which is surely going to have impact on their spots in league table.

[Warkop]

Although I know Manchester United played a very good match against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarterfinal, which was one of their best performances this season, that shouldn't have given us hope that Manchester United can play that well in their next match. Although Manchester United has players who, when they are serious, can play very well and win a match, sometimes their performances look like an academy team or a small team that doesn't know how to play football. For that reason, I don't trust Manchester United as much.

Manchester United did perform very well when facing Liverpool in the FA Cup yesterday, because this match was played at Manchester United's home ground so the game looked very dominant in possession of the ball. I'm also not sure Manchester United can win against Liverpool in the second match, especially since this match will be played at Liverpool's home ground. Manchester United will definitely have great difficulty in attacking, because Manchester United's performance still doesn't look consistent in every match and they always make a lot of mistakes, especially in Manchester United's back line.

Unfortunately, Manchester United's good performance came at the right time, after a dramatic win over Liverpool in the FA Cup, the competition was temporarily stopped due to the international break. Manchester United will compete again in the EPL on March 31 against Brentford. This match may be easier for Manchester United because Brentford is not a strong team in the EPL. Namun setelahnya Manchester United akan away ke markas Chelsea dan pada berikutnya Manchester United akan kembali Menjamu Liverpool di Old Trafford.

Ten Hag must make Manchester United appear consistent for the remainder of this season to secure a place in the European Zone. Manchester United still has the opportunity to finish in the top four if they are able to maintain their performance, but Aston Villa and Tottenham will also try to provide competition that will make Manchester United have to fight hard.

[Solokan]

The English League match hasn't started yet, yes I can't wait to see the match again but it looks like the Manchester City vs Arsenal match will always be in the public spotlight because the competition between Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City is getting fiercer and is being talked about a lot by the public because of the small difference in points. Very exciting competition between Arsenal Liverpool and Manchester City.

Yes, it looks like Arsenal Liverpool and Manchester City will be chasing each other in terms of points until the end of the season and it will be difficult for these 3 teams to drop to 4th place because the points difference with Aston Villa is quite large.

Of course, many people miss EPL matches and I also miss seeing Week 30 of the EPL matches.

Of course the first one who will play is NewCastle against West Ham and of course this will be an interesting match because in the last match West Ham drew against Aston Villa 1-1 so in that match I want to bet on West Ham winning but if NewCastle can win against West Ham, of course Wolves will be shifted in position. This will definitely be an exciting opening match.

But of course Arsenal's match against Manchester City is always widely discussed because their match determines their fate because they both want to become champions and have a small point difference, so everyone will definitely see the match later.

Yes, it looks like these three teams will continue to compete fiercely until the end of the season. Yes, the point difference between Aston Villa with Liverpool and Manchester City and Arsenal is indeed large so of course Arteta, Klopp and Pep's troops can breathe a sigh of relief with the quite large point difference between Aston Villa and the 3 strongest teams currently in the in EPL.

After the international break, everything will change again and it is possible that there will be several changes that occur, but regarding the revival or improvement in Manchester United's performance, it is not just against Liverpool in the FA Cup because in the last few matches we have also seen an increase or progress in performance. better than the Manchester United team.

The possibility of finishing in the top 4 mathematically is still there, but we also have to be realistic looking at Manchester United's current points lag, now Manchester United is 9 points behind Aston Villa who are in 4th position in the Premier League standings and also see the consistency of these two teams is quite the same, so even though Manchester United are able to be consistent until the end of the season, their percentage will still be small because Aston Villa is also likely to do the same thing.

FA Cup is where Manchester United can win title in this season but they have to focus on Premier League too. They need to complete this season in Premier League well to return to Champions League 2024 - 2025. They are a big club with good history, tradition and reputation, Champions League is where they belong to. Returning to Champions League will help them to feel they successfully return to top level and it will help their club finance too.

Everyone was expecting Liverpool to beat Manchester United at Anfield when they played their first match in the Premier League this season, but Liverpool failed to win against Manchester United.

Manchester United returning to the Champions league won't happen this season. It is not enough being a big team and just rely on past glory. As a big team you need to be maintaining that standard by continually being innovation and adapting to the new challenge and demand from the league, if this is not done you will fade away. Manchester United were too reluctant in making drastic changes and they thought that their status as a big team will always make way for them and this thinking lead to their fall and decline.

When Alex Farguson was Manchester United coach, the success he brought to the club made them too relaxed. For Manchester United to be champions league regulars again, they have to work harder than the other clubs in the league.

I agree with you that Manchester United will not qualify for next season's Uefa Champions League. Aston Villa is leading Manchester United by 9 points in the Premier League, and Manchester United would not be consistent enough to close the gap with Aston Villa in the fourth position in the Premier League table if Aston Villa drops points. I see Tottenham as one who will possibly overtake Aston Villa in the Premier League table. Aston Villa is leading Tottenham with 3 points, and Tottenham have an outstanding game; if they win the game, they will be on equal points with Aston Villa in the Premier League table.

It was also giving very bad impact to the performance from city when it will be facing many strong clubs.
I think that club shall think wisely about this caused by it will be so bad if they are missing some good players when they are gonna face important matches like against arsenal or real madrid. Having walker is a very important point to keep it strong.
The international break has ruinted some important players from the various clubs which are also disrupting their performance

However, sometimes it is uncomfortable when you have to refuse a call from the national team and I think it is a disappointing thing if when needed the national team cannot be present. Maybe this attitude should emerge from the national team itself, where when they know their players have to strengthen their team in an important match or are competing to win the title, the national team should be able to give them relief not to call them up. Especially if it's just a friendly match that doesn't change anything other than just testing the team's cohesion.

That is correct, but it is better to refuse it when it is only a friendly match between two nationalities. Just like in De Bruyne's case. He was injured, but the Belgium national club called him then Pep decided not to let him play for the national team by informing the national team's coach that he was injured and that's working. Sometimes, you need to sacrifice something to get something and this totally depends on what you got when you are sacrificing to play in the national team. This saves Manchester City for the coming months.
I believe that club will suffer significant losses if a talented player like De Bruyne sustains a serious injury as a result of Pep's decision to allow him to play for the national team and glad to see that if pep disallowed him. I gave Pep credit because he did the right thing by not allowing De Bruyne to play.
Things could get even worse if he forces himself to participate in the national match. It is due to the fact that Manchester City is approaching a critical juncture in which it will decide whether or not to win the league title this season, that's why manchester city needs to ensure all of players are available to play in any game. .

Sometimes they know that it's just a friendly match, but the players play seriously, whether it's because of the prestige of playing for the national team or because they really want to be like that. In the end, hard violations leading to tackles resulting in injuries also did not escape the outcome of the match. I think this will be detrimental to future performance and so far I am still listening to Kyle Walker and Harry Maguire, hoping no other players suffer the same injury.

Being trusted by your country gives you a sense of satisfaction in yourself, but there are consequences when you get injured and cause your team to lose so many trophies and you too.
This is the main reason Pep was uninterested in seeing his player compete in the national competition. You can imagine that. If Bruno sustains a serious injury, he will miss three trophies in total. The national friendly match resulted in Walker suffering a new injury, reducing Manchester City's power.

Yes, it looks like these three teams will continue to compete fiercely until the end of the season. Yes, the point difference between Aston Villa with Liverpool and Manchester City and Arsenal is indeed large so of course Arteta, Klopp and Pep's troops can breathe a sigh of relief with the quite large point difference between Aston Villa and the 3 strongest teams currently in the in EPL.

Aston Villa is not part of the competition between the three big clubs in the race for the EPL this season, the difference between Aston Villa's points and the three clubs is very far so it will be difficult to be in the title race unless Aston Villa focuses on finishing in the top four to compete with the clubs below it. like Tottenham and Manchester United, these three clubs will probably continue to compete to finish in the top four and it will be impossible to enter the EPL race this season because only three clubs, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool have a difference of just one point.

I can't predict who will be the champion and win the title this season because these three clubs are competing quite fiercely, especially as apart from the domestic league they are also still competing in European leagues such as the UEL and UCL, that's why coaches like Kloop, Artetta and Guardiola clearly wants his players to maintain their stamina as there is currently an international break, ensuring that their players are fit and in good form, especially since the meeting between Manchester City and Arsenal this week will certainly be a deciding match to get a position at the top of the standings and title fight this season.
