Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Palakka]

Manchester City really tried all they could to win this game,but they were so dissappointed to be drawn by Arsenal,and at thesame time, Arsenal were dissappointed to draw the match as well making Liverpool go back top of the table.I don't blame Mancity for drawing this game because Arsenal were so prepared to win this game but that is how City were prepared as well,so while  City were gaining possession, Arsenal were defending to make an equal scoreline.Niw Liverpool care top of the table with two points,it's all good the reds that Arsenal drew City.

The draw obtained by Manchester City vs Arsenal today is obviously very beneficial for Liverpool, because in the previous match Liverpool managed to win over Brighton at Anfield so that it made a distance of 2 points from Arsenal and 3 points from Manchester City at this time, honestly the match between Manchester City and Arsenal was beyond the expectations of all of us who expect an exciting match like two big teams who play and present a lot of goals,  But it turned out that since the first half started, Manchester City immediately dominated the game and Arsenal players only tried to defend with counterattack which was mostly not dangerous at all in my opinion except for what Trossard did in the second half.

Both teams seemed to play quite carefully in the game although Manchester City often pressed into Arsenal's defense, but Arsenal's solid defense actually made Manchester City's attack useless, I saw Arsenal's game today was not as good as usual in terms of attacking and even they often made mistakes in passing the ball, but fortunately in addition to having a solid layered defense of course Manchester City attackers who are also Performing less optimally in the match made arsenal goal not concede.

[iBaba]

The most competitive match between Manchester City and Arsenal, with 74 minutes yet to be scored by either team. These two teams are so strong and the goalkeepers are so experienced that they are unable to attack and score goals. Their attacks are very strong so far Manchester City have been on the attack but have not been able to score any goals. But it is uncertain which of these two teams will win until the end of our game. But based on the attack I can say that Manchester City have a lot of chances in this match.

Liverpool can smile broadly for the time being. The draw between Man City and Arsenal paved the way for Liverpool to return to first place. Man City actually dominated the match, but unfortunately, they had difficulty breaking down Arsenal's defense. The defensive football strategy played by Arsenal looks quite effective. The fight for the title is getting more and more tense, and I think with 3 points gap and the 9 remaining matches that still have to be played, these three teams still have an equally strong chance.

As a matter of fact, both clubs played well, and I admired the way that they were both able to challenge themselves to the finish. That is what it means to fight for the title or championship of the league, by which every manager and player is out there to make a victory. And both clubs being able to hold each other firmly, in the sense that you couldn't tell which team was really stronger than the other.

They both had opportunities, but they were unable to conceive any. Kevin De Bruyne was also able to play the match, so Man City couldn't play with that loophole, because maybe not allowing him to play would have caused more damage to Man City. But his presence did the team well, to the point that they were attempting to also make goals.

Arsenal had a good defensive game, to always immediately fall back to their defence and protect their home. And that is one thing that they did, which was amazing to me. Now, this has paved way for Liverpool to be at the top of the table, but it doesn't cause for celebration yet. They must make sure that they maintain winning over their matches consistently.

There are not many oportunities in the match with more chances for Manchester City but Haaland and Doku could not score any goal for them. On the opposite side, Arsenal did focus on defense in this match and successfully went home with one point that is their target.

This result is more happy ending for Arsenal than for Manchester City based on their approaches during the match while generally Liverpool are most happy team this week. They return to the first position and leave both Arsenal and Manchester City behind.

Of course that's because Manchester City and Arsenal played a draw. In my opinion, the result of the match was beyond many people's expectations because Manchester City looked worthy of winning the match rather than drawing, but Arsenal was actually able to hold Manchester City to a draw because of their good defense.

Manchester City had several good opportunities throughout the match, but they were unlucky and had to settle for ending the match goalless. Arsenal are good in attack, as well as in defence, but they tend to defend instead of going out to attack. A strategy like this is effective for winning 1 point, but it is clearly detrimental considering that they need maximum points to lead the standings.

This is one of the matches that I am really looking forward to, and I hope that there will be lots of goals scored in this match, even though from the start of the match Manchester City have been able to dominate the game, but because Arsenal's defense is quite strong, this actually can make it difficult for City to carry out attacks and break into the opponent's goal. Even though Arsenal didn't appear too aggressive in attacking in that match, I think Arsenal performed quite well by breaking up Manchester City's attacks several times.

Overall, this draw seems to show an unsatisfactory performance from both teams, but of course for Liverpool, this could be an opportunity to improve their ranking in the standings. With the draw between Manchester City and Arsenal, Liverpool really benefited greatly.

Yes, my own expectation is that Manchester City will win but Arsenal are able to defend well despite the dominant possession of the ball on the host, both teams failed to seek 3 points especially Arsenal will clearly survive and the draw will be better than losing, but unfortunately many opportunities do not become goals.

Liverpool are more happy with the difference of 2 points from Arsenal, moreover Liverpool in the next few matches do not face tough opponents, I think this team can maintain the victory to keep the standings from being shifted by Arsenal.

The match tends to be boring because Arsenal really blocks Manchester City's movements with a tight defense. Arsenal's high pressing made it difficult for Manchester City to send crosses so not many opportunities were created throughout the match, especially when Manchester City had opportunities they were not able to take advantage of them well.

Injuries to several players including Kyle Walker have changed Pep Guardiola's strategy in this match. Nathan Ake was also withdrawn due to injury, while Phil Foden did not perform as well as usual. There were many players who didn't play in their position in that match, so I really saw that Manchester City's game in that match was not effective.

Liverpool are more happy with the difference of 2 points from Arsenal, moreover Liverpool in the next few matches do not face tough opponents, I think this team can maintain the victory to keep the standings from being shifted by Arsenal.

Of course, Liverpool clearly benefited after Arsenal and Manchester City drew. Liverpool also don't look in trouble if Manchester City wins, but a draw is clearly more expected.

Truly Arsenal would be happier with the outcome of today's match which ended in a draw against Man City in Etihad stadium where they had never won a match since 2015 and always well beaten though they would prefer a win to increase their chances of winning the League having surrendered the top of the table to Liverpool who earlier won their match, though there are about nine matches to the end of the league I believe it's not yet over for all three major title contenders untill the last day of the league before the eventual winner would emerge thus there is no room for any complacency by any of those teams.

The draw in the Manchester City versus Arsenal match was in line with Liverpool expectations, and Jurgen Klopp squad has now managed to take over first place in the standings from Arsenal. Playing at high intensity made Manchester City and Arsenal act carefully, both teams understood the meaning of losing points well, so the two teams were forced to share points. Arsenal has proven its quality as a title challenger, Mikel Arteta squad looks capable of withstanding the pressure put on it by Manchester City. Although the match ended without a winner, for Arsenal they have succeeded in convincing his supporters, that they are now much better than last season.

Pep Guardiola is certainly disappointed with this result, in my opinion they are targeting to make perfect use of the home match to secure full points. Arsenal, which last season was considered less resilient when under pressure, and often appeared unstable towards the end of the season, has now learned a lot from its mistakes. Meanwhile, the competition for trophies will continue, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City have the opportunity to overtake each other in the coming weeks. Liverpool will not consider this position completely safe, Arsenal and Manchester City will continue to put pressure on them in the remaining matches ahead.

[tusandii]

The first minute was very tight, both of them immediately launched a fast attack to steal the first goal. Very calm but with sharp ball control, in my opinion it is quite balanced for both Man City and Arsenal. The first half was very impressive and left no gaps, but after the withdrawal of Nathan Ax there was a little instability in the back line and Arsenal were slowly able to take advantage of this to try to open up several opportunities. Ended with a temporary score of 0-0 and in the second half there had to be changes because in the first half they looked equally careful. Therefore I am optimistic that there will be goals scored by both teams.

The match ended in a draw with a score of 0-0 without us knowing so strongly Arsenal could hold every attack carried out by Manchester City and in the second half in my opinion Manchester City carried out a stronger attack than the first half but I had to admit that Arsenal managed to appear very great able to get 1 Points without conceding.
There are so many opportunities for Manchester City but it seems that the strategy that Pep Guardiola often uses in the second half is known by Arteta so that Arsenal forces are ready with a very strong attack but still Arsenal defense is also able to prevent Haaland from scoring.
Rodri actually also has a good chance but not too focused on the ball shot but what surprised me was only Haaland had a chance several times but also failed to score.
The first position in the point table is increasingly difficult and now Liverpool lead in the first position after successfully getting a victory after defeating Brighton.

Truly Arsenal would be happier with the outcome of today's match which ended in a draw against Man City in Etihad stadium where they had never won a match since 2015 and always well beaten though they would prefer a win to increase their chances of winning the League having surrendered the top of the table to Liverpool who earlier won their match, though there are about nine matches to the end of the league I believe it's not yet over for all three major title contenders untill the last day of the league before the eventual winner would emerge thus there is no room for any complacency by any of those teams.

Yes this is a good result for Arsenal and let's be honest, Arsenal had 27% ball possession, which is shockingly low in my opinion given that they are aspiring to become the next Premier League champion. Of course everyone knows that playing against Manchester City in the Etihad Stadium is never fun, but 27% is too low in my opinion. It's still Arsenal, a team that is going up against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. That was no brave enough. I think it should be expected to have the ball no more than 40% maybe, but this was as if Arsenal was barely playing with the ball. They were busy defending almost all the time. Good question though what the game strategy really was. Maybe it wasn't winning the game, but instead they prioritized to not lose the game.

[Cookdata]

To be honest, none of us expected to see such a performance from Manchester City in this match. Many of my gambling friends bet on Manchester City to win today. The main reason for this was that it was City's home match. And everyone thought that City would surely avenge the defeat of the previous match in this match. But Manchester City players proved everyone wrong.

Arsenal had their plans in mind which Arteta prepared and Manchester City had theirs in mind which Guardiola prepared and they both have so thing in common which was never to lose. Didn't you see how Manchester City held down Saka, he was there for 70 minutes of the game and he was neutralize. Kevin DB is the main supplier for Manchester City and Declan rice made sure he clamp him and Haaland the goal machine becomes useless in the field, this is why even though you are a goal machine, learn to understand play making but Haaland lack that part in his performance.

Manchester City dominated this match it is true. Manchester City players have 73% ball possession. But they are not able to attack much. Arsenal's defense has been one of the strongest defenses in the Premier League this season. City should have gone all attacking from the first half if they wanted to score against Arsenal. I would say there was something wrong with Guardiola's match tactics. And this is why Manchester City have shared the points in two consecutive important matches.

Manchester City dominated the match but it was as if they never did anything, Arsenal struggle but all their work today was worth it, if the tactics didn't work, they would have conceded goals but all their plans work. Arsenal was attacking and was neutralize and same where done to Manchester City, it's just that Manchester City was coming with hotness and fire. Honestly, the two team perform well but Liverpool is just smiling at them like they didn't play anything this week.

What was he expecting, To win Arsenal in such a crucial match like this? And besides both teams are in form, so no way. In my previous post in this thread I did talk about this game ending in a draw, so I wasn't surprised with the result so far, and it was indeed a good result for both teams because none of team were in a better position to lose they actually need to , despite favoring the Liverpool side.

Since the first half of the game, I basically reasoned that the game could end in a tie because Arsenal is playing defense and the contest is somehow uninteresting. Since some players are not active in the game, which is why Manchester City may defeat Arsenal at the Etihad, I'm not sure why Arteta plays defense against Manchester City when they know they've dropped from first place in the league standings. Liverpool will surely win the league title this season since they are the only ones who are currently winning matches in the top four. I don't think Liverpool still have challenging games to play anymore because it is only Tottenham and they can get the opportunity to win the game they will definitely get the trophy if they will continue winning there matches without losing anyone, and I trust Klopp is a very great coach he can win is remaining matches in the league.

This season is the best opportunity for Liverpool to win the Premier league trophy and Klopp is leaving the club ending of the season. he need to do anything possible to win the Premier league and Europe league before he leave the clubs. Liverpool are performing great in the  league and they deserve to win the title.

Because in the end Etihad is also not a friendly enough place but looking at their statistics in the last few meetings actually Etihad also for the last 2 meetings (with this match) means that Arsenal have broken the losing record because the match always ends in a draw and at the Emirates even they can previously win with a thin score against Manchester City which shows that Arteta's performance at Arsenal is growing as the season progresses.

The match is completely owned by Manchester City in this match but Arsenal at least keep the result to keep this point for them which I think this is a pretty good situation.
But if we look at the whole season, the most profitable is of course Liverpool, because with the results that Arsenal and Manchester City have in this match, they again take the throne at the top of the standings for a while even though the points can still be caught up but of course it's still very good for Klopp's men.

[red4slash]

The most competitive match between Manchester City and Arsenal, with 74 minutes yet to be scored by either team. These two teams are so strong and the goalkeepers are so experienced that they are unable to attack and score goals. Their attacks are very strong so far Manchester City have been on the attack but have not been able to score any goals. But it is uncertain which of these two teams will win until the end of our game. But based on the attack I can say that Manchester City have a lot of chances in this match.

Liverpool can smile broadly for the time being. The draw between Man City and Arsenal paved the way for Liverpool to return to first place. Man City actually dominated the match, but unfortunately, they had difficulty breaking down Arsenal's defense. The defensive football strategy played by Arsenal looks quite effective. The fight for the title is getting more and more tense, and I think with 3 points gap and the 9 remaining matches that still have to be played, these three teams still have an equally strong chance.

After week 28 the advantage belongs to Arsenal then indeed now the advantage is in the hands of Liverpool because after all, whatever results Arsenal and Manchester City have in the end benefit them and even if Arsenal and Manchester City get 1 point but Liverpool still smile because with the 3 points they get when facing Brighton at Anfield it has made them return to the top position.

The difference is still not too far because currently they are only 2 points adrift of Arsenal and 3 points from Manchester City but in the end it is still enough to make them breathe a little easier for this season even though they still have to fight in the remaining 8 matches.
There are still some matches that are quite difficult for Liverpool in the rest of the season so as much as possible they must maintain the consistency they have so that the top of the standings does not change easily.

Here Arsenal's character is clearly visible. They are afraid to get out of their comfort zone and tend to persist and waste time, even though they could do better. Manchester City were a mess, it wasn't a great game to see from them and overall it wasn't the big game I was hoping for.

I know Pep Guardiola lost some of his best players in this match, but the strategy he implemented in this match did not produce good results at all. The match didn't end according to plan, it was a disappointment that had to be paid dearly considering that Manchester City really dominated the match from the first half until the end of the match.

Manchester city Vs Arsenal Draw match

Actually I failed this prediction. Right from beginning I have maintained that the match between Manchester City and Arsenal will never end in draw. I was very confident that one team will win and there will be goals in the match but unfortunately my prediction didn't work out. Although I did not watch the match. It is a match that everybody looked up to but a very big international convention that I had made me to miss the match. Just this night I had a little time to check up the internet and I was surprised that the both teams shared the points. This only has just given Liverpool and added advantage to make them day champions of the English Premier League. I believe this is a gesture that the Liverpool coach will utilize to crown his exit from the Liverpool football club. 3 points above Manchester city and 2 points above Arsenal is giving the impression that Liverpool can be the champions or anyone among Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester city can be.

[AakZaki]

~snip~
Brentford players made a total of 31 shots in this match. A lot of attacking Brentford players. On the other hand, the players of Manchester United were able to make only 11 shots in total.

The draw makes it even harder for them to shift Tottenham. Currently their point difference is 8 points. It seems quite far with 9 matches remaining. Besides that, Man United will meet a strong team. This makes it difficult for them to get points to enter the European Zone. Indeed Brentford shot a lot, but they were ineffective. Man United's shots on target are the same as Brentford. Ball control is also not much different. I don't think this draw is too bad.

[baeva]

I knew that Manchester city was never going to allow Arsenal get a win against them especially an easy win in their home, the ethihad is Manchester city strong hood and they have been able to maintain a good results in their home since this season and a would not want to loose against the gunners a second time so I expected they were most likely going to draw but I didn't hope it was going to be a goalless draw .

The Gunners in their capacity actually did very well too and they made their defense a fortified one such that they weren't jus penetrable by the hosting team just like that, I knew Arsenal was definitely not going to aswell give Manchester city an easy games too but then I must commend Manchester city the most in that they weren't playing with some key players and yet they were able to keep a clean sheet not allowing a defeat especially in their home in the presence of their own fans, it was a very good performance from them too, but they are now at the third position on the table.

Liverpool is back to the top of the table and I see it as some that is really worth it because they actually did performed so well in their today's encounter a d did deserved the win they got in today's game and I knew Liverpool was not going to mess up this opportunity of getting back to the top of the table but then they are just going to stay at the top by just two points difference away from Arsenal who's at the second.

Yes, there is not much left to the end of the season and I think Manchester City are out of the title race because neither Arsenal nor Liverpool will allow themselves to make a mistake and will fight amongst themselves. As for the Manchester City vs Arsenal match, it was pretty boring, I didn't expect the match to end in a rout but MC had 72% possession of the ball which is huge but in the end they couldn't score, lol....
