Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Plaguedeath]

I don't think De Bruyne's importance at Mancity can be greater than Rodri's. Remember that   some time ago, Mancity lacked Kevin for a long time but they still played well if Rodri was still in the squad, but when Mancity was without Rodri, they continuously encountered difficulties with defeats. I do not deny the importance of De Bruyne in Mancity as he is an important link that helps Mancity's attack explode. But without Rodri, both the midfield and defenders will have problems and the hole he leaves behind is huge. Without Kevin in the upcoming match, Mancity will have a lot of difficulty scoring goals, but Arsenal is no better when the two main strikers, Martinelli and Saka are also in pain and not sure can play or not.

People always take a look with the results and statistics, but they didn't pay attention with the impact of the player and how the player gives contribution on the pitch. Rodri is the best all rounder player, his ball control is above average, has a good shooting skill, can play under pressure, has a tackling skill and can build up. He's just underrated, I'd say he should be worth more than Haaland and De Bruyne.

I think Arsenal has a better chance of beating Manchester City in their Premier League match on Sunday at Etihad Stadium. Three Manchester City players were injured while on international duty for England, and there are doubts about being ready for the Arsenal match. This will be an advantage for Arsenal. Arsenal will dominate most of that match because John Stones and Kyle Walker are among the injured Manchester City players.

I think it's up to eight years now or something around that when Arsenal last beat Manchester city at Etihad but perhaps, this is the time to make history again. There's no way you can be addressed as a big team if you can not beat other big teams. Arsenal has proven to be consistent recently in their last matches especially their last three away matches with about fifteen or more goals scored without a single goal conceded. The injury is a very big blow for Man city and a great chance for Arsenal to utilize the opportunity. However, I don't think the injuries make huge differences as Arsenal and their fans are capitalizing on. As far as Rodri and KDB are fit, city is good to go. Moreover, Foden, Ake, Grelish and some others are well fit too. Mind you, Pep is too good in playing mind games and always have a way of doing things.

Despite some of Manchester City key players are having injuries I don't still believe it is a way for Manchester City to lose against arsenal and I'm underratting the strength of arsenal,  just thst Manchester City can do the unbelievable no matter the team they are playing with. The game can't be predicted because Manchester have the ability to win, arsenal also have the ability to win this game. Looking at the point of these teams you can see they are not far from each other, it means winning the league for the season is unpredictable.  

These tough teams meeting this Sunday is going to be very interesting,  and after this game we'll all know which teams has the chance of winning the league for the season.

I don't think De Bruyne's importance at Mancity can be greater than Rodri's. Remember that   some time ago, Mancity lacked Kevin for a long time but they still played well if Rodri was still in the squad, but when Mancity was without Rodri, they continuously encountered difficulties with defeats. I do not deny the importance of De Bruyne in Mancity as he is an important link that helps Mancity's attack explode. But without Rodri, both the midfield and defenders will have problems and the hole he leaves behind is huge. Without Kevin in the upcoming match, Mancity will have a lot of difficulty scoring goals, but Arsenal is no better when the two main strikers, Martinelli and Saka are also in pain and not sure can play or not.

And in a recent match, Guardiola did not allow De Bruyne to finish the match, if I’m not mistaken it was in the match with Liverpool, so this shows how Guardiola evaluates each player individually, and his value in each individual game.

Of course, De Bruyne is a very talented player, and he is very important for City, but Guardiola will never build a game around one player, if someone is injured there is a replacement for him. When Haaland was injured, Foden was excellent as a goalscorer, and Haaland's absence was not noticeable. City is a very strong team and every player there deserves his place in the team.

Yes, When it comes to Man City right now, the standout images are probably Haaland's goals or De Bruyne's assists. But watch the entire match to see how Rodri created a rhythm for Man City.  If you consider Man City as a body, then Rodri is the heart of that body because if the heart sends blood to nourish the body parts, then Rodri is the link that brings the ball to the necessary places or to solve problems. To relieve the defense or create opportunities for attacks. Since building the squad at Manchester City, it is no exaggeration to say that Rodri's appearance is the nucleus for Pep Guardiola to make a desired squad. Rodri deserves to be a strong candidate for the title of Man City's best player of the season.

But De Bruyne is also an indispensable factor in the squad. This is the leading midfield duo in the world at the moment, with one inclined towards attack and the other inclined toward defense. Extremely compatible with each other. The warning for Man City is their dependence on Rodri and De Bruyne.

Blow for Man City.

[Richbased]

This is one of the things that will weaken Manchester City's performance against Real Madrid and Arsenal in the Premier League and in the UEFA Champions League, respectively. Kyle Walker is a good defender, and if he is not in the Manchester City squad that will face Real Madrid and Arsenal, the Manchester City defense will be vulnerable.

I totally agree with you because irrespective of how good Manchester City is and how they can easily cover up for a player who is injured but with the kind of player Kyle Walker is it will surely affect the performance of Manchester City because in terms of Manchester City defense Kyle Walker is there pillar and also no matter how strong a club is if there defense line is not good all there efforts will go to waste, although Kyle Walker injury is not that bad so he will surely play all there upcoming matches, so that's to say that Manchester City will be using all there full force on there upcoming matches.

I see that the performance of Manchester City players is quite even in all their lines and indeed they have proven that they do not experience a decline in performance when there is player rotation, the same goes for what will happen in the future, it is true that Kyle Walker is quite an influential player but that doesn't mean that if he is absent then the team's performance will decrease drastically.

Manchester City will face 2 difficult matches in the near future, against Arsenal and against Real Madrid and with the problems they are currently facing, many of their players are injured, even though it is difficult, I think Manchester City still has a big chance of getting through these difficult matches victory.

Definitely, Manchester city at this point can do without the presence of any notable player but sometimes the absence of a player that is always up and doing in most of their matches can cause some setback for the team more especially at the wing where such player represents and we all know the impact Kyle Walker presents in most of their matches as his personal ability to withstand some technical challenges within the defensive area cannot be overemphasized. Though Manchester city can still go without walker but it looks like a big blow because John stones is also ruled out as well.

Arsenal on the other hand looks somehow okay and prepared though the likes of Bukayo Saka may probably not feature due to a minor muscle injury he got in his hamstring that made him withdrew from England national team squad but however, there is every possibility that he would be present to face the match against City.

As for Real Madrid, they look more prepared for the champions league encounter with Manchester City but that not withstanding, it's a great game to watch between these two giants in the champions league quarter finals stage.

[Jossque]

Tomorrow most of the games will be played. Newcastle host West Ham. I think the league is over for both teams.After this time it is difficult for both teams to compete for 5th place because the points difference is a bit high and the opponents they will play in the following weeks are likely to give their all in the match.This match is likely to be high in terms of watching pleasure for both teams because when we look at the last meetings of the 2 teams, we can see that they have no problem scoring goals against each other.Although Newcastle has the advantage, this match is likely to end in a draw again.

I'm only adding a recent update from Arsenal as Romano has released the latest report about possibility of some injured players  from Arsenal's side who are doubtful to play against Manchester City soon. It's caused by it will also very important to predict what line up that probably used by arsenal. That news from romano will totally help us stay up to date and understand the team's situation better regarding the match between city vs arsenal soon.



From what arteta said if he is still also 50:50 for martinelli, saka and gabriel to play in the upcoming game against arsenal.

It seems a little disagree with some of these words because for me Pep Guardiola or Manchester City never depends on the great players you mentioned because for me Manchester City is the most solid club among other clubs almost all players contribute and become part of the players who can be relied upon like Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden.
Some of the players I mentioned are only a small part of the whole Manchester City player who is always ready and very reliable without having to rely on or depend on just a few players.
Pep Guardiola had rotated players very well when De Bruyne was injured and also Haaland suffered an injury but it turns out the results are still very good at that time.

Both were with the national team during this international campaign week and both picked up injuries there so as many other players representing their countries which brings us back to the ever continuous argument what’s really happening to this recent hike of injury. Most people have pointed out that since the covid vaccine was issued players are more less fragile and easing prone to injury but I personally don’t buy that. My biggest point where is that this players are more or less in a state of fatigue and some things needs to be looked at.

Many will disagree with me but I will say international breaks within the middle of the season should be cancelled if at all they need players around before a major tournament then the break should be like for a month before the tournament traveling continuously creates fatigue and fatigue that’s one thing that is affecting this players. The EPL itself is the worst they engage in numerous competitions and hardly have even a winter break for the players. Yes many will say it was like this since ages but I will say players then weren’t repeatedly playing 100 minutes due to VAR

Manchester City's performance has been proven to be consistent even though player rotation occurs, so Manchester City never relies on just a few players, even though their mainstay player is injured, they will still be able to perform optimally, but it cannot be denied that if key players are absent then there are a few things that are lacking, although Manchester City is able to maintain stability, the difference or influence is not significant.

Pep Guardiola has indeed built the Manchester City squad quite evenly, it is true that the absence of KEvin De Bryne or Haaland as has happened does not reduce the strength of the Manchester City team, but if they face strong opponents it will have a slight impact.
Moreover, the match against Arsenal is quite important for those who are fighting for the title.

It's a bit worrying about Manchester City's defense later and I think Arsenal will take advantage of Manchester City's weaknesses this time. The international break made the team structure quite chaotic and Manchester City cannot hope for much with the current options. But I'm pretty sure there won't be any problems as long as Pep Guardiola can provide the right strategic direction and I hope Arsenal won't be caught off guard just because they heard this news.

The match will be fierce and whoever scores the goal first will dominate the course of this match and as hosts Manchester City must do so. Mikel Arteta will probably not relax in the slightest and wants his team to play aggressively from the start. But you also need to remember that if a blunder occurs, it will make everything chaotic.

These two defenders are in very crucial positions at Manchester City, Stones may still be anticipated, but Walker position so far will make it difficult to find a replacement option. This is clearly a big loss for Manchester City who will face Arsenal and afterwards in the UCL against Madrid. But I don't know yet how long this absence will take, if for 3 to 4 weeks we can't strengthen the Manchester City team, we will face serious problems. We'll see what Pep Guardiola will do to overcome his back line, because for Arsenal this gap is very profitable for them.

As for Real Madrid, they look more prepared for the champions league encounter with Manchester City but that not withstanding, it's a great game to watch between these two giants in the champions league quarter finals stage.

The intensity of the match will be like the peak of the final, Madrid and Manchester City will definitely use all their energy in this match to steal safe points in the first leg. In the last meeting, Manchester City dominated so much that for Madrid this match is a revenge mission.

[wiss19]

I think I also agree with you, and I agree with the fact that if Arsenal is able to beat Manchester City in their forthcoming match, that shouldn’t give them the feeling that they can win every other match that comes their way. Although the truth of the matter is, if Arsenal can win over Manchester City, it will be a huge relief for the club as a whole and increase their chances of winning the Champions League trophy. at the same time, if they start feeling that defeating one of their biggest contenders has given them the capacity to win all other matches, they may relax, which could lead to complacency and eventual failure.

Arsenal are strong, one of strongest clubs in Premier League this season so they are able to beat Manchester City. But Manchester City are strong too and they won 5 Premier League seasons in last six seasons, they are experienced enough to play against Arsenal. More important, there is another risk for Arsenal, Manchester City will host Arsenal at their home stadium and if Arsenal won't have proper careful approach for the big match, they will fall to a trap setup by Manchester City and risk to lose the match will be very high.

Without any doubt we are having impressive Arsenal in this season which is clearly indicating things could be not easy for any team to face them while they are trying their best for having their titles hope alive until last day of this season now we are heading for the toughest challenge which is going to play on 31st March at the Etihad Stadium this will be give better view about their chances because in case of win or draw things will be well under control and if they lost then surely this could be below for them, and they can go on 3rd spot which is surely not good for their hard work which they have done in last few months.

Injuries are serious concern for both sides but still hopes are high we will have competitive game between these two top ranked teams, but this could be also beneficial for the Liverpool if we have lost for the Arsenal or this match ended in draw.

[Weawant]

You sound like Manchester City will not lose to Arsenal, even though their first eleven are all injured. The Arsenal of this season is different from the Arsenal of last season, and they won against Manchester City at the Emirate Stadium this season. Arsenal is consistent and scores a lot of goals against their opponents. Arsenal is capable of beating Manchester City on Sunday.

I agree to the fact that it's very possible Arsenal may be able to beat Manchester city on Sunday but what I'm actually in doubt with is about their consistency, Arsenal's consistency is actually relative as they usually don't show the consistency with every team they get to meet, they only show with certain teams so I can say they may not actually win with a good goal margin like they have done with others but they can win.

Since Manchester city will be at home, even if a good number of their key players have been injured, they will still not be too weak to the point where Arsenal will get a land slide victory over them, the last time Arsenal won them it was just with a goal difference so I'm not expecting if Arsenal gets Lucky to beat Manchester city again if it will be such a huge one and this time around Manchester city even happens to be playing from home so they are definitely not going to be really weak and they usually have a winning mentality which makes loosing not easy for them.

Arsenal hopefully will be able to utilize the advantage that they will be getting against Manchester city and it's also an opportunity for them to once again too the league table and if they will further be able to maintain it they will definitely get to win the league this season from the defending champions Manchester city, so it will look more like they were the reason Manchester city has been unable to defend the trophy this season as they would have.

Yes, tomorrow we will watch the match between Newcastle vs West Ham United. It's very difficult to guess who will win tomorrow's match because I think both teams are playing equally strong and well so far. Even though West Ham is superior to Newcastle in terms of position and is only 3 levels apart, Newcastle is not a weak team. The players in that match appeared very energetic and strong so that tomorrow's prediction is that Newcastle will most likely beat West Ham United.
Previously the two teams had met in five matches this season but the two teams were very evenly matched, namely one win for Newcastle, one win for West Ham and three draws.
So both teams have drawn in every match, but tomorrow there will definitely be an unexpected surprise, namely, in my opinion, both clubs will play very hotly and it will be exciting for us to see because both teams will add points. each other again in pursuit of being in the top 5 of the standings.

Blow for Man City.

It looks like this adds to the list of players who will not be able to play this week between Arsenal and Manchester City and of course this is another loss for Pep because he must be dizzy with several players who cannot compete because it means that apart from Ederson, Akanji, Stones, Kyle and Matheus Nunes are not confirmed not to play because of fitness problems and this is clearly a very good advantage for Arsenal because looking at the current list of players it is likely that only Timber is possible to miss as for Saka it is likely that he will still be available in the match later.

This is clearly a good advantage for Arsenal but in the end for the problem of the match later even though Manchester City will not be strengthened by some of its Italian players, all things can still happen because for now Arsenal's probability has increased but that does not mean they can win because in the end 3 points are determined in the match.

[Spaceman1000$]

I think Arsenal has a better chance of beating Manchester City in their Premier League match on Sunday at Etihad Stadium. Three Manchester City players were injured while on international duty for England, and there are doubts about being ready for the Arsenal match. This will be an advantage for Arsenal. Arsenal will dominate most of that match because John Stones and Kyle Walker are among the injured Manchester City players.

I think it's up to eight years now or something around that when Arsenal last beat Manchester city at Etihad but perhaps, this is the time to make history again. There's no way you can be addressed as a big team if you can not beat other big teams. Arsenal has proven to be consistent recently in their last matches especially their last three away matches with about fifteen or more goals scored without a single goal conceded. The injury is a very big blow for Man city and a great chance for Arsenal to utilize the opportunity. However, I don't think the injuries make huge differences as Arsenal and their fans are capitalizing on. As far as Rodri and KDB are fit, city is good to go. Moreover, Foden, Ake, Grelish and some others are well fit too. Mind you, Pep is too good in playing mind games and always have a way of doing things.

Despite some of Manchester City key players are having injuries I don't still believe it is a way for Manchester City to lose against arsenal and I'm underratting the strength of arsenal,  just thst Manchester City can do the unbelievable no matter the team they are playing with. The game can't be predicted because Manchester have the ability to win, arsenal also have the ability to win this game. Looking at the point of these teams you can see they are not far from each other, it means winning the league for the season is unpredictable.  

These tough teams meeting this Sunday is going to be very interesting,  and after this game we'll all know which teams has the chance of winning the league for the season.

I agree with you with what Manchester city can do even with players that have injuries, but I doubt if Manchester city will override arsenal, because on the other hand arsenal have a formidable team too. So the game is very unpredictable given the tactical realities both teams share.   Tomorrow and Sunday will certainly be a great impact on the league as we are keenly watching how the results will turn out, though the race for the title is still open, and I feel aresenal are a bit advantageous at this point because they currently at the top of the league, so they should encourage themselves more to retain that position.

[tbterryboy]

I really don't think that it will be that easy as you are making it looks like, because arsenal are also facing a similar problem, even though they have managed the injuries in their squad properly, and if you pay close attention to the arsenal line up in the past few games, they have been missing the likes of Saka and martinelli, which to me is a very big miss to any team in the premier league due to their form and quality, but I really Don't think Manchester city will be a push over regardless of the injury crisis they are facing in their team, I believe that they have enough debth in their squad to cover up for the injuries they are facing.

Both teams are having trouble due to injuries but still we have to check Arsenal is having better options for the replacement with Manchester City is having trouble to score while their few top players are not available like in last five games in Premier League we have 7 goals for the Manchester City and 23 goals for the Arsenal so this all is clearly giving all how things are going into these both sides.

Arsenal able to have better depth into their squad and things are manageable for them even they are missing their top players from the squad, but Manchester City is feeling heat as their performance is having big decline which is surely not ideal for their campaign for the defending their title in this season because their list of the injured players are going long which is surely big concern for them at this stage while they are having opponents like Arsenal and Real Madrid.

[dezoel]

I see that the performance of Manchester City players is quite even in all their lines and indeed they have proven that they do not experience a decline in performance when there is player rotation, the same goes for what will happen in the future, it is true that Kyle Walker is quite an influential player but that doesn't mean that if he is absent then the team's performance will decrease drastically.

Manchester City will face 2 difficult matches in the near future, against Arsenal and against Real Madrid and with the problems they are currently facing, many of their players are injured, even though it is difficult, I think Manchester City still has a big chance of getting through these difficult matches victory.

Manchester City is one of the most competitive side in Premier League and their performance in last 10 games are clearly showing how things are going for this season 8 wins and 2 draws and Arsenal which is currently at the top of the league table is also having good time with they have 9 wins and 1 lost which mean both are on same level and things are going to be interested in this game which is surely going to be final for these teams with in case of win for the Manchester City we will have no chance for the Arsenal in rest of the season for title hopes and same going to happen with Manchester City but one this is surely Liverpool is surely going to be happy in case of Manchester City win or draw because this will bring them to the top so they are going to support them for this.

With good number of injuries and now we are having too many tough games in few days this is going to be not easy for them because things are not in not good shape, and they have to manage with available players which are surely not as we have top quality players which are now out with injuries.

[Strongkored]

I think the league is over for both teams.After this time it is difficult for both teams to compete for 5th place because the points difference is a bit high and the opponents they will play in the following weeks are likely to give their all in the match.This match is likely to be high in terms of watching pleasure for both teams because when we look at the last meetings of the 2 teams, we can see that they have no problem scoring goals against each other.Although Newcastle has the advantage, this match is likely to end in a draw again.

Newcastle has performed quite badly this season, as has West Ham, who appeared impressive at the start of the season but are slowly having difficulty getting points in many matches.
In the last few meetings both teams have always scored goals so betting yes on both teams to scores can be a good option to get a little profit, while betting on Newcastle is quite doubtful seeing they often appear disappointing.

For the top five positions for both teams it seems difficult, especially for Newcastle, but both of them can still get tickets in the conference league competition so this match will remain competitive because for West Ham it will be important to keep getting points so that they have the opportunity to get tickets in European competitions wide open. Several key players from both teams are doubtful about their performance tomorrow so my prediction is the same as yours that it will end in a draw.
