Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[letteredhub]

Nice way to come back for Kevin Debryune, after not being available last match. Am happy with whatever results unfold after the Manchester city match because all I want to see is Arsenal beating Brighton later on.
At this point any slip from Liverpool in tomorrow's match against Manchester United will definitely hurt their chances of being league champions because I don't think Manchester city nor Arsenal who are on same point standing would let that opportunity go by.

Kevin De Bryune, who successfully scored a goal in the 13th minute in today's match, will continue to be a player that Manchester City really relies on. Because currently Manchester City is also one goal ahead of hosts Crystal Palace through their player Lewis and now Manchester City is starting to control the match even though the home team made a surprise with a quick goal through Mateta in the third minute. And from the results that have been seen, it shouldn't be difficult for Manchester City to win and secure the three points.

Crystal Palace at the beginning of the game made an impression of a home team to remind City that they are just visitors but been a higher team compared to Palace City had to change the tone of the game made a comeback and are now leading with a 1-3 in the score sheet. City are poised to keeping up in the race for the title and palace doesn't have that tenacity to hold them from getting the points they need. Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool at this stage of the competition can't afford to lose or share a point in any game as that can in a very had way hinder their chances for the title.

I would say it was an unexpected result. Even Chelsea fans didn't expect to see such a result. After 90 minutes of the match, Chelsea team was trailing 3-2. And it was unthinkable that Chelsea would score 2 goals in extra time to win the match.

But the Chelsea team was very lucky. Chelsea youngster Cole Palmer took full advantage of the carelessness of Manchester United's defenders. Cole Palmer equalized the match with a goal from the penalty spot in the 90+10 minutes, and another goal in the 90+11 minutes gave Chelsea the victory. Cole Palmer's overall performance in this match was excellent.

I also still think that both teams have a bad defense, as Manchester also had a feast of opening holes that enabled Chelsea to score in normal time, despite their success in scoring as well. I always think that if the two teams manage to score many goals in any match, this does not mean their offensive superiority as much as they are primarily defensive gaps. Another proof of this is that Chelsea is not one of the teams that are accustomed to reducing the goal difference in the final minutes of the match, and I consider that Cole Palmer succeeded in exploiting those defensive gaps in the opposing team to be the star of the match par excellence.

This will be a lesson for Manchester to later get used to playing with complete efficiency until the last second of the match. The result was a surprise to everyone, and this can be confirmed even from previous comments, most of which did not expect Chelsea to win.

Both teams exploited gaps in their opponents' back line well and that is why many goals were scored throughout the match. Ten Hag was basically sure to end the match with a win, so that's why he changed his game strategy by rotating several players before Chelsea recovered.

I think it's a very difficult match for both of them, but from the start I've said that Chelsea have a bigger chance of winning their home game. In the end, my prediction was correct even though the match would have almost ended in a draw if Chelsea had not had the last chance for a corner kick. Pochettino is happy with the result of the match, as are all the players. That was a great match to watch.

It is common knowledge that teams in the last minutes of the match (after the end of normal time) their play becomes more relaxed and their performance is not as complete as it was throughout the match, and I mean here especially if the team is victorious during normal time, and this allows for errors to occur that may be Some of them are disastrous, as happened with Manchester and Chelsea. Personally, I enjoyed the match because it was the first match I watched in the English Premier League after a break of more than two seasons.

Also, I don't think it was a difficult match for both teams. On the contrary, Chelsea played with more difficulty, and had it not been for Manchester's complacency in the last minutes, they would not have succeeded in achieving anything.

[Zlantann]

Chelsea scoring a goal against Manchester United in the 90+10 minute is okay, but Manchester United conceding another goal from Chelsea in the 90+11 minute is something that Manchester United's defense needs to be questioned about. Manchester United lost to Chelsea because of defensive errors, not the tactics used by Erik Ten Hag.

Both teams defended poorly in the game. Chelsea defenders caused the first goal due to poor communication and the second goal was also a defensive error because Bruno Fernandes was left unmarked even when we had four Chelsea defenders in the box. But it was Manchester United defenders that caused more harm, giving out two penalties and also giving Cole Palmer so much space to shoot. This win gave Chelsea the lifeline to keep fighting for a European spot. The management of United has decided to keep faith with Erik Ten Hag, so we will not see any managerial change at the end of the season regardless of the position the club ends the league.

[Lannakosa]

It is hard to believe if this game is going to end up in draws because Manchester City is always this extraordinary team that scoring of goals is not a problem for them.

It will be so bad for Manchester City if this game ends in draw because it can affect them from getting the title of the league. Manchester City still have the second half to hustle for another goal, they still have a chance of increasing their goals but if luck is not on their side to win the game against crystal Palace it will be of good advantage to arsenal and Liverpool that are also at the top of the league.

De Bruyne quickly equalized, but the first there was a little difficult for City, although they had the advantage, and in the second half everything changed very much, Crystal Peles can't do anything at all, zero shots on the City goal, 19% ball possession, complete dominance City and three more goals, it looks like Haaland and De Bruyne have found their game again. It is a pity that City could not play as well in attack in their previous matches, now Guardiola should hope, that Arsenal will lose points with Brighton, and of course that Manchester United will be able to perform a miracle, and take points from Liverpool.

As we predict Manchester City will equalize the score then win the match, we know that Manchester City is in the race so there is no reason to lose they will play as much as possible. Currently the score is 2-4 and the match will end in 5 minutes means that Manchester City will get 3 points and for the time being Manchester City took over the 2nd place then Arsenal will take back if they defeat Brighton today. The teams in Top 3 will compete with each other and win every match we will wait for which team is trapped and get bad luck and moments like this will occur at the end of the season because there are some important matches.

I will be very interested in the Arsenal vs Briton today because that encounter is really going to be a tough one for the gunners, especially considering the fact that Arsenal will be playing away at Briton.The game is going to be very tough,because we all know how Arsenal want the trophy badly,and Briton on the other hand will want to lock them up either with a draw.
If Arsenal wins,and Mancity wins theirs,then Liverpool draws with Manchester United, Arsenal will be topping the table with goals,but if Liverpool wins United,then I'm seeing them lift the trophy already.

I don't see arsenal finding it difficult to win that game, Brighton are a tough opponent to play against, then playing away to them at the American Express stadium makes it tougher, but Arsenal has all it takes to get a win in this game, especially now that Manchester city have won their match,  much pressure will be on Arsenal and Liverpool who play Manchester United tomorrow,

Looking at the table Arsenal sit in third behind Liverpool and Manchester city who are both on 70 points, with arsenal on 68points I think at this point in the league dropping points among these three teams will narrow the possibility of their title hopes, So considering their next fixtures, I will say Arsenal has the tougher opponents to play than Liverpool and Manchester city, so dropping points against Brighton will have a major effect on their title hopes,

For Brighton they sit at 9th position two points behind westham who occupy the final European spot for UEFA conference league next season, I think they will have an eye on that spot and will try all they can to win this game, but I don't see Arsenal dropping points in this game.

Arsenal only draw in their last ten matches in the EPL was against Manchester City. The extraordinary record that Arsenal has made in the last ten matches with a record of nine wins and one draw makes me doubt that Brighton will be able to overcome Arsenal despite its status as the home team. Arsenal will certainly not make any mistakes in this match, they will try to secure the three points in order to maintain their chances of winning the EPL trophy.

I see that there is a difference in quality between these two teams, Brighton has only been able to win once in their last five matches, the remaining two draws and two defeats. It looks like Arsenal will get an easy win in this match despite their status as a visiting team, victory is Arsenal's target in this match because Liverpool will face a tough opponent in week 31.
Arsenal's chances of topping the standings are very big if they are able to beat Brighton, provided Liverpool have to lose points at Manchester United's headquarters.

That's not necessarily the case, don't underestimate other teams. there are still other matches, even though the opponents are mediocre teams, there are still Tottenham and Aston Villa. So, anything can happen in the remainder of this competition. In fact, I don't dare to speculate too far, because one mistake could have fatal consequences for the three teams we mentioned in this thread. remember, sometimes it goes up and down, sometimes it can happen at any time. So, things are still interesting. Currently City has won full points against its opponent Crystal Palace, now we are looking at Arsenal's match against Brighton.

In this match, Arteta has great motivation so that his squad can beat Brighton smoothly. Playing at Brighton's home ground doesn't mean Arsenal isn't superior. Even though Brighton is often an obstacle for big teams, it seems that this time the bookmakers are giving Arsenal a bigger preference than the home team. Brighton with @5.50, while Arsenal with @1.60. There is quite a clear gap in the match between these two teams.
We know that Roberto De Zerbi's squad doesn't want their team to be defeated, especially at home, but Arsenal will be more focused on overthrowing Brighton in this meeting. especially, ahead of the match against Bayern Munich in the Champions League Quarter-Final Match. Arsenal should be able to take advantage of Brighton's unstable condition. So, this match must be a victory for the Gunners.
As for Liverpool, this match will be held tomorrow. well, we can review it tomorrow. Let's just wait for the results of the Brighton vs Arsenal match.

to be honest scoring first against Man City never ends well, and this match was no exception as the champions came back strong. Crystal Palace's defensive strategy didn't work out. Although it wasn't easy for Man City to break through Crystal Palace's defense in the first half, they managed to equalize. Man City often save their best for the second half, scoring beautiful goals and securing a 4-2 victory over Crystal Palace!
The title race is still open, with Liverpool, Arsenal, and Man City all in contention. This result sends a clear message to the top contenders in the Premier League.

Man City managed to climb to 2nd place for the time being. The 4-2 win they got over Crystal Palace means they have the same points as Liverpool, but, Liverpool is still firmly in first place because Liverpool still has a better goal difference than Man City.

Kevin De Bryune played very well tonight as he scored 2 goals. Likewise with Haaland, even though he only scored 1 goal, it could be good motivation for him. Man City dominated the game even though they played as guests. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace only seemed to be playing well when the match entered the 80th minute. Behind 3 goals from Man City, it makes they had no other choice but to use attacking football. This strategy looked quite effective because Crystal Palace managed to get their second goal. Unfortunately, they don't have much time and Man City certainly won't give Crystal Palace many chances to score the third goal.

Lol, if a team wants to have a realistic chance to win against Manchester City, what would your suggestion be? Not score at all or just not score first? I am convinced that the best chance to beat them is to take the lead first I guess you said this in a more ironic way though, at least I hope so.

Manchester City lost three games this season in the Premier League and guess what, in every of those three games the opponent scored first I think this is proof enough to refute your claim that it never ends well when a team scores first against Manchester City.

The truth is that no matter whether a team scores first against them or not, Manchester City barely loses any games.

[AYOBA]

Crystal Palace at the beginning of the game made an impression of a home team to remind City that they are just visitors but been a higher team compared to Palace City had to change the tone of the game made a comeback and are now leading with a 1-3 in the score sheet. City are poised to keeping up in the race for the title and palace doesn't have that tenacity to hold them from getting the points they need. Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool at this stage of the competition can't afford to lose or share a point in any game as that can in a very had way hinder their chances for the title.

A huge comeback from Crystal Palace, who was leading Manchester City by one goal from the start of the game. Which I also be having hoped that they would give it their all and remain consistent against Manchester City in order to cut down on their point total and give Arsenal more optimism following their victory over Brighton today. Because I am confident that Arsenal will exert a lot of energy and control the game to maybe top the rankings cause I'm expect Liverpool to lose their upcoming match. Ultimately, that's how Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace 4-2 and sealed the victory. It was a really sad result for crystal palace.

[yudi09]

In addition to the game with United, Liverpool will have difficult games with Fulham, Everton, Tottenham and Aston Villa. Are you really so sure of a positive result in these games? It seems to me that Liverpool will 100% lose points in one of these games. It would be good if not and I would know it 100%, since in this case it would be possible to make several x on the multi-bet.

Against Manchester United, I have no doubt that Liverpool can get full points even though in the meeting with Manchester United some time ago Liverpool was forced to lose.
In fact, we feel doubtful about opponents Fulham, Tottenham and Aston Villa because a team like them does not rule out the possibility of making Liverpool slip and fail to get points.

In betting, I have my own analysis even though I often place bets on Liverpool winning in each competition.
Against Manchester United, I am also willing to bet on Liverpool winning and am not afraid of the result turning around.

[Sexylizzy2813]

This part of the season is just that period when we see the bigger boys struggle to beat the smaller clubs and this is their (smaller clubs) period of being stronger than they were in the first half of the season.
Crystal Palace will be hosting Man City in today's early kick off, I believe that in as much as Palace are not in a good form I think they can get something out of this encounter but mind you that the Citizens are having this hunger for goals and getting their spot at the top of the table because they know they're running out of time with Liverpool sitting at the top followed by Arsenal at 2nd position.
In this game I feel it might end in a draw or City have to lose this game to the host, Palace might be deadly just to cover up for their last game that they lost shamefully, I'd say is a 2-1 win for Palace if they're lucky enough.

I haven't seen any statistics regarding this, so I'm not sure if that's actually true that smaller clubs tend to perform better towards the end of the season, but this makes some sense.
The logic would be that at the beginning of the season, smaller clubs would play much more carefully and defensively, being primarily focused on not losing games. But at the end of the season, if such teams are placed safely above the relegation zone, they can allow themselves to play more relaxed football, have more fun out of it, and take more risks by playing more offensively, which can often pay out with surprise wins over bigger clubs.
Having a lot at stake, be it fighting for the league title or to avoid relegation could be very motivating, but could also be very stressful and harm team's performance.

When you watch more of EPL games at the end of the season you'd agree with me completely on what I said and at the beginning of the season that's when the smaller teams try to showcase what they're made of but after the 1st 5 games you'd see them dropping in performance.
This period (end of the season) the smaller teams come all out to play especially teams that are on the relegation zone, they play like a wounded lion, like they have nothing to lose which is true and that makes them difficult to defeat.

[Queentoshi]

The truth is that no matter whether a team scores first against them or not, Manchester City barely loses any games.

Manchester City maintain the same level of confidence like Liverpool and even when they are behind by a goal, they never rule themselves out from the game. Crystal Palace were very poor defensively and wasted the chances they had to make the game more difficult for Manchester City to win.
Manchester City move to second place ahead of Arsenal who have a game against Brighton who can be a difficult opponent to win especially at home.
Aston Villa are still in the battle to maintain their 4th position on the league, as they now play Brentford in hopes to get all three points and continuing securing their place for the champions league next season. Ollie Watkins plays this week, increasing Aston Villa's chances of winning.
No Ivan Tooney for Brentford in this first half, the coach will bring him in the second.

[bering]

I will be very interested in the Arsenal vs Briton today because that encounter is really going to be a tough one for the gunners, especially considering the fact that Arsenal will be playing away at Briton.The game is going to be very tough,because we all know how Arsenal want the trophy badly,and Briton on the other hand will want to lock them up either with a draw.
If Arsenal wins,and Mancity wins theirs,then Liverpool draws with Manchester United, Arsenal will be topping the table with goals,but if Liverpool wins United,then I'm seeing them lift the trophy already.

We can compare the recent performance from both teams that Brighton was not in the good shape that in the last 8 matches in all competitions they only can able to gets 2 wins and in the last match too Brighton only playing draw from Brentford and for Arsenal they are unstoppable because from 10 latest matches in Premier League Arsenal can gets 9 wins and they were often to win the matches with big scores besides that Brighton performance is also not as good as last season so certainly Arsenal will be able to win this match even big possibility Arsenal can win with big scores and if we talking about betting options the bookmakers provide good odds for Arsenal win @1.61 and i know this is not high odds but i think that odds is decent to bets

Talking about race title between Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool so far they are still consistent for each matches and we all know the difference points between them is not too high so my predictions is who is the winner of Premier League will be determined at the end of this league because for now it's hard to predict who is the champion of this season because these teams has equal chances to win the league

The situation at have now doesn't even permit any of the top three teams to have a draw, talk less of losing a single match. At the end of the first half, I was a but skeptical about their winning the match as the papa players were pushing hard too. But into the second half, the game changed and they really showed their determination to stay in the competition for the title with the gotta from Debruyne, Haaland and lewis.

The race for the title still much on, Liverpool will have a very though match themselves against Manchester united tomorrow and they're playing from away, Manchester city has done noble today with their deserved victory, Arsenal will also have a though time today with Brighton as they're playing from away. The  heart is too much on the race for premier league title this time around.

In terms of performance, Liverpool does look more promising than Man United. Moreover, everyone knows that Man United plays very inconsistently, even in their last 2 matches, Man United failed to win. Man United is not in good condition, while Liverpool is in their best condition. However, with the conditions of the two teams like that, I still feel that Man United still has a chance to steal points from Liverpool. If Man United could play with a nothing to lose spirit, I think Man United will be a formidable opponent for Liverpool. There is nothing impossible in football. Man United even managed to get rid of Liverpool in the FA Cup.

[pusaka]

Chelsea scoring a goal against Manchester United in the 90+10 minute is okay, but Manchester United conceding another goal from Chelsea in the 90+11 minute is something that Manchester United's defense needs to be questioned about. Manchester United lost to Chelsea because of defensive errors, not the tactics used by Erik Ten Hag.

I think this is a problem that Man United must address immediately. In the previous match when Man United played against Brentford, they also make the same mistakes. Victory was in sight, but they were careless and gave Brentford the opportunity to equalize. And this happened again when they played against Chelsea. I think Man United really have problems with their composure. I think Ten Hag also made a mistake, playing Rashford and McTominay was very ineffective, it even made Man United lose their rhythm.

It seems like they are too quickly satisfied with what they get, even though in the game of football every second is very important and every second or minute can be very dangerous if they are not careful.
Apart from that, their concentration is not formed well, they quickly decline in concentration every time the match enters the final minutes. This is something they have to evaluate, because if they don't fix this then they will continue to feel the same thing. It is very disappointing to see the victory that was before your eyes just disappear because of something that should have been anticipated.

Just opened the football channel and wanted to see the Crystal Palace vs Manchester City match but the score was already 1-0 after 3 minutes.

It did not take long for Crystal Palace to score, they took their chance as soon as they had it. Manchester City has scored back, a spectacle of a goal from Kevin De Bruyne. Manchester City are not an easy team to win even when you are a goal ahead, there need not be any chance for mistakes or lack of concentration. Crystal Palace have to try to score another goal or maintaint this scoreline until the second half. Mateta who was a problem for Manchester City when they played in the first leg has had a very good start to this second leg too, he scored the first goal and has been a challenge for the Manchester City defenders to keep quiet.

The match ended with a score of 2-4 in favor of Manchester City. Even though they fell behind in the 3rd minute, Manchester City were able to equalize 10 minutes later, the score remained at 1-1 until the end of the first half.
IN the second half, Manchester City took the initiative to attack quickly and it didn't take long for them to take the lead, because after only 2 minutes of running time they were able to immediately score a goal. Manchester City continued to attack Crystal Palace's defense and as a result they were able to score 2 additional goals. Crystal Palace tried to respond, but they could only score 1 goal and that was not enough for them to at least hold Manchester City to a draw.

[Catenaccio]

Man City managed to climb to 2nd place for the time being. The 4-2 win they got over Crystal Palace means they have the same points as Liverpool, but, Liverpool is still firmly in first place because Liverpool still has a better goal difference than Man City.

They play one more match than Liverpool but this winning will give some pressure on Liverpool before their match and the same pressure on Arsenal too. Clubs play after competitors will have pressure if their competitors win first.

Kevin De Bryune played very well tonight as he scored 2 goals. Likewise with Haaland, even though he only scored 1 goal, it could be good motivation for him. Man City dominated the game even though they played as guests.

Problems with Manchester City in this season is their dependence on some players like De Bruyne, Foden for creativeness. It is very big different than the last season when they still have Mahrez, Gundogan and Grealish played better than this season.

With this goal, Haaland has too preparation for quarter final match with Real Madrid but he usually does not play well in big matches. Haaland has good finishing skills and he is strong but he is still not good to side track defenders and open space for himself to get better opportunities. He needs to improve it if don't want to be controlled by defenders when they understand more about Haaland style.
