Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[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.

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

[DubemIfedigbo001]

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

The  heart is too much on the race for premier league title this time around.

The fact remains that one or few of them will still lose match. It is not possible that they will all keep winning all their matches. Don't be surprised to see them playing draw with small unexpected teams. It will take luck for Liverpool to escape draw with Tottenham and Manchester United, those are where I am expecting them to draw. Tottenham will also be a tough side for both Arsenal and Man City. This is the time that the technical skill of the various coaches will be tested.

Manchester City have ensured themselves to get 3 points in their 31st week with a fairly striking score despite some surprises especially when Palace managed to get a quick goal in the first 3 minutes but indeed Manchester City are too good to face Palace in this match which makes them not feel the hassles despite the pressure which is quite surprising in the first 10 minutes of the first half.

For other matches, Arsenal in this match still have a chance for 3 points as well, especially by looking at the conditions of Brighton, which at the moment they do not seem like a troublesome club unlike what they did in previous seasons, making the chance for Arsenal is still quite large but on the other hand Arsenal must still be wary of De Zerbi's boys this time because it could be troublesome for them if they underestimate this match even though they are definitely favorites to win.

Manchester United and Liverpool has this their rivalry and this comes into play whenever the both sides meet. That was exactly what played out in the first meeting at Anfield when they played a draw. We saw it again in the fa cup where Manchester United snatched a win from Liverpool and stopped any dream of quadruple from the Liverpool fans. This is not just about this match, it about the bragging right. Manchester United and Liverpool are the most decorated English teams in terms of trophies, so Manchester United is going to pose a big threat to Liverpool. If Liverpool are to drop points, then this Manchester United match is a good place to drop points.

You're right about performance. Liverpool is more promising this season in the Premier League than Manchester United. Manchester United from the performance that we can see, they are not in a consistent condition in terms of play. Our defeat in the last meeting against them was as if they had won the league or a competition.
Like yesterday when they lost against Chelsea, we think that tomorrow's meeting at Old Trafford can get a positive result to maintain their position in the standings because Manchester City have secured full points earlier against Crystal Palace.

Arsenal won't lose if that is what you are expecting at this point even with Saka on injury we are going to win against Brighton, because we know what is at stake so we can not afford to lose any game now, all games are tough this period but I trust my club, Manchester City have already flipped us and if we can win Brighton then we go back to our second position and either home or away we are going to win. the trophy is not yet certain for anyone because at this point, the top 3 have not given up judging from the way, Manchester City played Crystal Palace, when they started the game Crystal Palace was on track but I know they can win Manchester City.

those guys are good and are always difficult to win, especially if your club is not in form, since there is still a chance for us to win the trophy, but the problem is the top 3 can not afford to lose any game or it is finished.

[3meek]

So far in the first half Fulham vs Newcastle the score is 0-0... To be honest, I bet on both teams to score here and Wolves vs Hammers... I hope that the second half will be more interesting than the first... The first match of Crystal Palace vs Man City was rich in goals... I want to see it in other games...

You are right all the three clubs cannot just keep winning their matches, at least one of them will either lose or draw, and that will make them drop points. Liverpool have a big challenge on facing Tottenham, and Manchester united. This is because these two clubs are strong, and will target to win Liverpool or draw the game.

Manchester city is now on top of the league, but they have played more matches than the rest. Arsenal will be playing their later in the day, and we will see what the result will look like. Liverpool might drop point tomorrow against united match, because it will be a difficult match for them, as Manchester united will be very ready for that match.

[ingiltere]

This week it was clear that Manchester City would get three points. There's no point in playing against the tide. In the fight for the championship, these teams no longer have the luxury of making mistakes. With De Bruyne and Haaland, City can score as many goals as they need. It doesn't matter that they went behind in the match. Pep played the right game again. If you score against them in the first minutes you have to be very careful because you don't want to upset them. Palace paid for their early goal by conceding 4 goals in return.

[Ryu_Ar1]

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.

It will be quite an interesting match even though we must be referring to Mancehster United's previous defeat to Chelsea but IMO it could be a draw against Liverpool even though such a thing is definitely not expected by Liverpool but this possibility will still exist just like what happened in the first meeting where Liverpool could not create a single goal at Anfield.

Indeed for now even though the match will be held at Old Trafford but surely Liverpool will be the favorites in this match so that indeed their chances are definitely greater, its just that Manchester United have also on several occasions played very well even though last week they had to lose a match that was actually very profitable but indeed Manchester United always give a quite different color at this time, especially for their midfield which is filled with young players so this can still be a troublesome thing for Liverpool .

[Gallar]

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.

Yes, in this match Manchester City played very well and very calmly. So from this match we can see that the quality of the Manchester City players is very good. Because as you said, even though in the early minutes of the match Manchester City conceded first, the Manchester players remained calm and were able to control the course of the match very well until the match was over.

Apart from that, in this match De Bruyne performed very well by scoring 2 goals and creating 1 assist. Halland also played very well, being able to score 1 goal against Crystal Palace. And with this victory, Manchester City is now in second place in the Premier League standings with 70 points.

Then in the match between Aston Villa and Brentford, in the first half Aston Villa managed to take the lead through a single goal scored by Watkins in the 39th minute. Maybe in the second half, Aston Villa will continue to attack Brentford's defense. The reason is that in the first half the Aston Villa players managed to dominate the match. Likewise in the second half, I am sure Aston Villa will add additional goals and it is very likely that Aston Villa will definitely win this match.

Quite correct. actually they all might not continue with the successive wins especially bearing in mind that they have though teams to face who are still fighting  for  positions up the table. It wouldn't be easy, but in the end one team will lift the trophy. One thing that gives me joy is that the various teams have their best players in good condition, their injury streaks are over and they're all having a full squad, this then validates what you said above about the technicalities of their managers being tested in the games ahead.

One thing is certain, the manager with the best techniques will lead his boys to lift the trophy.

[Youngkhngdiddy]

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.

 Manchester United is definitely like the underdog in the tomorrow game against Liverpool, their performance has been nothing to write home about, the players are playing like they have nothing to lose after all they will get paid at the end of the week. They had proved how disorganize the structure of the team is, they find it difficult to even defend thier lead in two consecutive games. No top elite team will want to fumble like that given away points carelessly. I used to tell my fellow man United fan that our glory days are over and we are just an average team struggling to maintain its name. For the club to function at his top flight again we need a total reform in the club, from its management down to its players. Ac Milan had the same issues some time ago, after several years of not coming to the champion league and finishing 10th position they still came out from thier struggle and are now champion of Italy in this present time.
   Man united are looking for other options of the position of the manager, Teg’s style of play is not suiting the team, he can use lazy players to play such intensive pattern of football. He even had to change is own style of play from playing the diamond midfield play to the counter attack United team are fond of,  just to suite the the play of the team, the non-chalant  attitude of some of the players is really costing the team a lot making the effort of the few good players there useless, these cabal and favoritism will destroy the good hold of the team. Fans no longer recognize their boyhood club anymore, the softness as eaten us to the depth of our heart, I miss the days of Roy Keane where every game seem like a battlefield to team. Please bring back those days to us !!!

This week it was clear that Manchester City would get three points. There's no point in playing against the tide. In the fight for the championship, these teams no longer have the luxury of making mistakes. With De Bruyne and Haaland, City can score as many goals as they need. It doesn't matter that they went behind in the match. Pep played the right game again. If you score against them in the first minutes you have to be very careful because you don't want to upset them. Palace paid for their early goal by conceding 4 goals in return.

Manchester City have been absolutely amazing with their performance in the league for the past four days in the English Premier League. After Phil Foden put out a scintillating performance against Aston Villa on Wednesday night which saw him score his first hat trick as a Manchester City player, the club manager Pep Guardiola decided to rest Phil Foden from playing today at Crystal Palace but that didn't stop Manchester City from convincingly winning the game.
Crystal Palace started the game on front foot after scoring in the first 10 minutes of the game to give themselves an early lead but Kelvin De Bruyne's 13th minute goal ensured that the first half finished on a draw. City scored three second half goals to take full control of the game before their hosts added their second and last goal of the game in the dying minutes. With the win, Manchester City are now top of the English Premier League table and will remain their if Arsenal and Liverpool fails to win their games of the weekend
