Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[tiCeR]

Man Utd is once again breaking the hearts of their teaming supporters tonight. Of all the teams in the world, it is Sheffield Utd that is leading them by one goal to nil in first half. What is more frustrating is the fact that Man Utd is playing at their home, Old Trafford against a small team like Sheffield Utd that is already set to proceed to relegation. If Man Utd cannot win such a small side, which team will they then win? This is why I find it funny when some people count Man Utd among the strong resistance to Arsenal winning the Premiership title this season. The reality is that Man Utd should better prepare for next season because this season is not favorable to them. Before I finished typing, Harry Maguire scored to make the match a one all draw at half time. That does not remove the fact that Man Utd is not a force to reckon with like we used to know.

There have been a few unexpected results at half time and even at the end when Liverpool lost their game against Everton. That should have never happened, but this is most likely the end of the title race for Liverpool.

Manchester United has once again shown that they are not a top team. Everyone who thinks that Manchester United made it in the end, seriously I think that a team like them with all the ambition they have should easily beat Sheffield United. Falling behind two times in Old Trafford against a team that is essentially getting relegated is unacceptable.

[AYOBA]

The English premiership is very dramatic in the ongoing games, at this point, liverpool and Manchester United are losing the their counterparts, though it is not the end of the game yet but that a very poor way to start match, though I always know that Manchester United has been very inconsistent in their matches but allowing Sheffield united to score first is not good for me, must they allow their opponents to score first, manchester united should check where is coming from and tackle it once amd for all, manchester United needs to win this game entirely, they should not take chances, the team needs to rebrand and go back to their winning ways.

Football is one funny game, Liverpool can not even score Everton and Everton had been protecting that one goal in first half and now they have added another goal making it 2:0 there is no way Liverpool will able to equalize the two goals, and if they did then i will know that Everton is bad, and first half Liverpool played well but currently this second half Everton is dominating and attacking and defending well and Liverpool losing gives us more opportunity to win the Premier League. And with what manchester united is playing they are going to be a walk over for us.  And now I have a belive that we might win the Premier League, am having a feeling that Manchester City is going to flop playing Brighton tomorrow, still a good chance for us. Now am impressed with arsenal even with all the insult.

It was a big disappointment for Liverpool to lose to Everton, so it has even reached the point where their performance has been so scattered that they are unable to win against Everton. This is a surprising match today. A weak team came from behind, who are presently in the 16th position, and beat Liverpool. To be honest, if they say Liverpool's performance will become like this, I can never believe due to how they performed very well in their last match against any of the opponents they met.

They always put in much effort and dominated the match, but it couldn't happen today. As it stands now, this has given Arsenal more chances to hold their consistency and continue maintaining their performance so that they can win their remaining matches, which is against Tottenham and Manchester United.

[Furious 7]

But there is something going on with them in the wrong direction. I saw the game statistics and from the looks of it you wouldn't think that Liverpool lost the game  like that. 77:23% ball possession for Liverpool and 13:4 corners, yet they couldn't score a goal. But it is not uncommon at the moment for them. The Atalanta disaster was the same as it was a game at home for them and yet they couldn't score whole conceding three goals. It's very unfortunate that Liverpool gets into trouble when the most important games take place. I doubt that they still have a chance to win the Premier League.

Their possession of the ball has never been bad as well as the chances they have it's just that in this case their finishing problem is really bad and Liverpool's disease reappears when indeed they are too focused on attacking so they forget about defense which in the end a quick counterattack by Everton really makes them destroyed in today's match.

2 goals created by Everton actually I can't expect but indeed when the first goal happened and Liverpool did not realize their mistake then it was certain that it was well exploited by Everton and for Liverpool it is now completely lost for the chance of champions in my opinion because however by losing a few points in the last few matches made them slowly lose momentum to compete at this time.

[Huppercase]

I'm not surprised that Everton is leading against Liverpool in the first half because I expected Liverpool to struggle in Everton's home. On paper, Liverpool is the favorite to win against Everton, but because of the rivalry between Liverpool and Everton in the Premier League, Liverpool always finds it difficult to win against Everton at home.

With such a poor performance that Liverpool played today, you still call them favourite on paper, like how? This is not how to win league. At first I was scared that Manchester City will walking freely but when I remember that Arsenal has Liverpool sitting next to each but now it seems all teams are just trying to save theirselfs. Liverpool has played two games and are just 1 point away from Manchester City, I think there is nothing they can do to continue the chase for the league.

The main race for the first place now range between Arsenal and Manchester City, I can confidently vouch for Manchester City even this level with their remaining matches but I'm not sure if I have the same feeling for Arsenal but with what we have played so far, we can be the Champions if we don't lose any match from now till the end of the season.

Manchester United on the other hand are lucky to level the score early in the second half as they are now leading by 4-2. But this inconsistency is affecting their Champions League appearance aim of next season since Aston Villa  and Tottenham are very serious this time.

In the other hand Manchester United has also lost their chances of going to the European competition this season. There fixtures these days are easy, assuming they did well in the past month, they would have done well to go Europe.

In the pst two months, I never expected Manchester United to be in this same position because they had the chance to make it to the Champions League through top four, they have lost it because they are 13 points behind Aston Villa and seven points behind Tottenham. If we take a look at Manchester United’s last fixtures, you will agree with me that they will hardly make it to the Champions league next season because Tottenham will be willing to make it to the Champions league while Aston Villa have upper hand than all of them.

[Victorybit1]

Instead of scoring a goal in the second half, Liverpool conceded Everton's second goal in the second half.

So Liverpool lost to Everton, that’s really bad for them, at this critical moment they are not suppose to lose any match, seriously it’s a surprise to me because I never expected Liverpool to lose to Everton, I can say the premier league winner this season is between Arsenal and Manchester City, Liverpool can’t win the league this season again. I don’t think both Arsenal and Manchester city will want to lose any match for now.

Losing to Crystal Palace was somehow okay because there was still hope for Liverpool to challenge for the Premier League title. With this 2-0 loss at Everton, I believe Liverpool is out of this season's Premier League title race. Manchester City and Arsenal will use this opportunity to accumulate enough points that would make them top Liverpool with a good point difference, and Liverpool will have no chance of challenging for the Premier League title.

Liverpool really surprised me on how they lost their games these days because am shocked and suprised, Liverpool was one of the most informed team in the league and all of a sudden things just went sideways as they continued to lose out points especially in the premier league which is the one they really needed because of the title race battle between them and the rest two teams but now with this lose its definitely certain that they can't meet up again and they will have to finish the season with no trophy at all.

The defeat suffered by Liverpool in today match makes me assume that they no longer have a chance to win the title this season because Liverpool are already 3 points behind Arsenal and this season only has 4 games remaining. It is quite surprising to see Liverpool performance decline in the remainder of this season because they have experienced 2 defeats and one draw in their last 5 matches. I thought in today match they could win easily but that disappeared because Everton performed quite well in today's match.

Statistically, Liverpool is capable of carrying out many attacks but not managing to score a goal. I see that Kloop is quite disappointed and he doesn't even believe his team can lose today's match. Arsenal of course really benefited from Liverpool failure because arsenal have succeeded in widening the points gap with Liverpool.

Manchester City and Arsenal will use this opportunity to accumulate enough points that would make them top Liverpool with a good point difference, and Liverpool will have no chance of challenging for the Premier League title.

Mathematically, they still have chance in the title race, but seeing the performances in the last few games when they even lost at home makes it reasonable to say Liverpool won't be a serious contender anymore. Their attacks seem so poor which struggle to score goals from open play. The fact that they have to compete with two teams makes it difficult to hope two climb up to the top, because it will need two teams to drop points.

Looking at how consistent Arsenal and Manchester City, with convincing wins and big goals margins, It will be two horses race from now on. As it stands, Arsenal is topping the standings, but Manchester City have the chance in their own hand with more games to play means more points to gain. Looking at the remaining fixtures of the two teams, Manchester City have an easier run compared to Arsenal, because Arsenal still have to play against Manchester United and Tottenham, which are their historical rivals, who still have aspirations to finish in european competitions zone.

[Oluwa-btc]

It is becoming more real and I can say that it is now a reality that Liverpool is going trophyless this season. This season is quiet interesting because I way expected that the manager of Liverpool will wave goodbye to the club by giving them major title of English Premier League or Europa League. Certainly they had the opportunity to feature in both but he did not make his permutations well. I wonder how the boys will feel and how himself will feel at the end of the season. It is clear that Manchester City is the most favorite currently the win the English Premier League because Arsenal as we know can never be trusted.

Sorry, What? They won the Carabao Cup Competition against Chelsea. Can you do a proper check again?

Sean Dyche and his lads showed more desire to win this game honestly tonight and it paid off. Indeed, just like Erik Ten Hag said, Era's comes to an end and I can go ahead to say that this is it, they're not longer in line to win the Premier League Competition anymore this season. Can Brighton hold down Manchester City to a full-time draw game tommorow? We will definitely see about.

Manchester United did well, if not for that miscalculated pass from Andrea Onana to Dalot, maybe Dalot should have done more to check his shoulders, I still blame Onana for that still.

H-M and Casemiro did a good job tonight and I can't believe my eyes Casemiro so solid in defense. The first half lacked energy and I think Manchester United wouldn't want the services of Erikson no more next season.

Did y'all see how the game went without Rashford? I won't say no more. Erik Ten Hag should give Am as d his start against Burnley come weekend against Burnley.

[Dump3er]

Beyond doubt Manchester City is still in the best position to win the Premier League. At this stage of the season a small advantage over the other teams already means a lot. It doesn't mean it is over yet, but everyone is aware that Manchester City is able to win all of their remaining games and then it would be game over. It's not 15 games anymore, it's 6 games and Manchester City is in the lead with only one very hard game against Tottenham Hotspurs. I don't see much potential for Manchester City to stumble in the other games, but against Tottenham there is a window opportunity for Arsenal and Liverpool perhaps.

I kind of have an opposing opinion to this your opinion, From what we've seen happened this season so far in the premier league since the beginning of the season, I still don't believe this league is over having Manchester city on top of the Premier league table currently,  even an unexpected small team would surprise everyone and hold Manchester City on a draw,  To me still an open league and until the last game day.

But now we have one more answer to the question whether this will be a fight among the top three teams Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. Liverpool experienced a significant setback and if Manchester City wins both games, I count Liverpool out. Arsenal is showing strength at the right time and they are doing a lot for their total score. They are far ahead of both Liverpool and Manchester City and who knows, maybe it's the goals that eventually tip the scale.

Manchester City and Arsenal will use this opportunity to accumulate enough points that would make them top Liverpool with a good point difference, and Liverpool will have no chance of challenging for the Premier League title.

I think things started to fall apart for them from the FA Cup exit, a draw to Manchester United a couple of weeks later, followed by a heavy defeat at Anfield to Atlanta in the UCL. It's very evident that their players have lost confidence and Anfield that was once a fortress is no longer feared by the visiting teams.

I think this pretty much sums up Klopp's final year at Liverpool. It's sad, but that's the reality.

[Raflesia]

It seems like Liverpool lost it all this season, they are losing 2-0 to Everton in a match they are supposed to win in order to keep their title ambition live, but as it stands now, Arsenal have the higher chance than Liverpool, only City’s performance can determine it now because if City drop points, Arsenal will try as much as they can to beat Tottenham and Manchester United.

It is becoming more real and I can say that it is now a reality that Liverpool is going trophyless this season. This season is quiet interesting because I way expected that the manager of Liverpool will wave goodbye to the club by giving them major title of English Premier League or Europa League. Certainly they had the opportunity to feature in both but he did not make his permutations well. I wonder how the boys will feel and how himself will feel at the end of the season. It is clear that Manchester City is the most favorite currently the win the English Premier League because Arsenal as we know can never be trusted.

With the defeat in today's match, it indirectly dashed hopes in the race for the trophy for Liverpool even though there are a few games left but their mentality seems to have been disturbed and their attack line problems are increasingly felt in every match that is done.

The gap with Arsenal is now 3 points for Liverpool and under them Manchester City still leaves 2 matches which when the remaining 2 matches end in victory then 6 points and directly become the top of the standings become real for Manchester City.

In current mathematics, if 2 matches are obtained with a victory for Manchester City, they indirectly have 79 points, which means they have a 2-point advantage over Arsenal and 5 points from Liverpool, which must be very difficult for Liverpool to pursue if their target is the champion this season.

[Slow death]

I confess that I am very surprised and shocked by the results of some games in this round, I didn't expect Liverpool to lose like that to Everton, it was a game in which Liverpool played very poorly, their attack was a big disaster in my opinion. In my opinion, at certain times the Liverpool players arrived at Everton's defense and didn't know what to do, and then kicked in an inappropriate way. It's even strange that Liverpool had 77% possession of the ball and Everton only had 23% possession of the ball, but Everton managed to score 2 goals, while Liverpool failed to score any goals, I'm starting to understand Because the Liverpool coach wants to go and rest, the guy tries really hard. But these players seem to no longer respond to the Liverpool coach's commands. It's a shame that the season is already over for Liverpool



It's all over for Liverpool. Now they just need to finish the remaining games and see which coach will be chosen next season. I don't know if next time the new coach will be able to win the premier league, it won't be an easy task, and talking about the candidates for Liverpool coach, I saw this news:

Liverpool schedule new direct contact with Arne Slot after positive talks

Initial contacts between Feyenoord manager Arne Slot and Liverpool have been described as “very positive”.

New contact to follow soon with Slot keen on Liverpool job — he’s represented by the agent Rafaela Pimenta.

❗️ Understand there’s 𝐍𝐎 release clause included in his contract; Feyenoord would request compensation fee for Slot as they did with Tottenham one year ago.

I think it's a good option. Liverpool needs to choose a coach who managed to win trophies with a small team with few resources, because this would show that this coach is very skilled and that if he had a great team with great resources, he would also have better results in my opinion.

Liverpool failure in Champions League affected heavily the team indeed.. They took three goals and now two goals against Everton which is not top!
That victory made Everton almost secure from relegating and made Klopp leaving the club without successful records these last years.. It is sad indeed. I doubt they will catch gunners or Manchester City in the remaining 4 matches..

[entertheabyss]

I'm not surprised that Everton is leading against Liverpool in the first half because I expected Liverpool to struggle in Everton's home. On paper, Liverpool is the favorite to win against Everton, but because of the rivalry between Liverpool and Everton in the Premier League, Liverpool always finds it difficult to win against Everton at home.

A winning club will always be the top and always pushing forward. A surprising night for Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp couldn't believe his eyes because his team was really persuading three points inother to reduce the gap against Manchester City and Arsenal. Everton won Liverpool 2 nil at Goodison Park tonight. It was one of the tough game for the Toffees but they didn't give up so early, Sean Dyche have pushed safe from the relegation zone. Everton came out in cooperation to smashed the Reds in the merseyside derby.

You don't need to be surprised about Liverpool's form or performance of late, after losing or should I say knocked out of the Europa League by Atalanta they haven't been their selves and it has been from bad to worse. I believe the title race is over for Liverpool because they can't catch up at this very moment unless Arsenal and Manchester City decide to lose games they're suppose to win which we know is not going to happen for Manchester City but as for Arsenal, they can be the one to lose, these days no one trust the Gunners even their fans don't trust them at this very stage of the campaign even if they're topping the league until they get the business done.
Everton put up a good fight in this encounter against their fellow Merseyside club Liverpool, the energy they brought I mean Everton was just wonderful without any sluggish play like we know them for and they took Liverpool off guard.
The nightmare is still fresh for Liverpool and they know this is the end and they shouldn't wait for a miracle. For now Man City still have the chance of going back to the top (that's if the win both games) but any slip from them it will definitely be the end because Arsenal fans are happy about tonight's result while they wait for Pep to fall like Klopp did.
Congratulations to Everton, a huge win that took them off the relegation arena, let's know this it takes a Merseysideclub to stop the other from challenging for the title and uplifting the other from hitting the relegation zone.

The league right now is Manchester City's to lose. All they have to do is win their remaining league matches of the season and the league is theirs. I always believed both Liverpool and Arsenal would still drop points after their losses to Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, Liverpool and dropped point, let's wait and see if Arsenal will drop any more points.
As for Manchester City, I don't see them dropping any points. City has hardly ever blown any opportunity like this. They don't joke with these types of chances, especially because they have been knocked out of the Champions League.

Liverpool may be in a very difficult situation with Klopp leaving. It's a very complicated situation because one decision can make or break them. All that is needed is a manager that can fill Klopp's shoes and the club needs to back that manager. If they get the wrong man for the job, no backing in the world would save them from the doom that is to come.

You know when a lot is riding on your ability to win a game, it can also add pressure on you and that's exactly what Liverpool experienced. Everton didn't come to joke and you could see them determined to take a pound from their Merseyside rivals just like other clubs have done of late and this is the first time in a long while I saw Jurgen Klopp's marred with defeat as he knew from the time the second goal came in that it was over for them and his boys could not come back.
 Everton have succeeded in giving hope to their fans that despite the points deducted from them, they still got it in them to fight for their place in the Premier league and I must say they are one hell of a determined club. With such a mindset as this no wonder they were able to defeat Liverpool by not just a narrow margins but with two goals and a clean sheet intact. I mean if that doesn't spell a job well done, I wonder what would.

[MK-74]

Liverpool lost again tonight. It seems Liverpool doesn't want to be champions.
Arsenal will now wait for Manchester City to drop points, I hope they do.
Things are going well for Arsenal right now, but they should definitely not lose points. If they lose points, M.City will be champions again.

[Popkon6]

The Everton team was so aggressive in this match that they faced the highest losses in terms of betting. Because this whole season Liverpool team has performed well, especially Mohamed Salah he failed to score in this match. Many of his attacks were missed, resulting in no goals being scored, and the Liverpool side lost to a stroke of luck. And the wide gap created by the difference of two goals in this match, mainly the defenders of the Everton team performed very well. And the goalkeeper performed the best and was able to stop the attacks with ease.
