Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

The Derby with Drama until the last minute... Arsenal keeps dreaming about mathematics, waiting for the Manchester City to leave Points, ARS did his homework, not like the L·€¬I#V@//  

Arsenal has put their foot at the pedal, ain’t nothing stopping them. They should continue till the last minute of the final match day. I blame ante posteglu the Tottenham coach for their loss today, He fielded the wrong Eleven especially the front three, they were wrong moves tho he turned it around a bit in the second half, Tottenham controlled the game but Arsenal was more Clinical, you can see the hunger in this Arsenal team if not for the loss against Villa, they would have been away with the title by now.
Twas a great derby Match.

Arsenal had Spurs exactly where they wanted them; pushed back and frantically defending. They were confident from the beginning of the game till half time and after Hojberg got that own goal, Spurs became shaky and started making mistakes.
Bukayo Saka's goal is something I'd call masterclass because it's not every winger that will be smart enough to avoid running into the offside trap and wasn't desperate to shoot at the goal and waste the shot but calmly played the Tottenham defender and got his 15th premier league goal.
 At this pace, they may get two more goals in the second half but if they choose to end it this way, the three points will be in the bag because I don't see Tottenham as a team that will be able to come back from such goals to win, they can do it against any club but to Arsenal? Their bitter, stubborn rivals, it will be a difficult feat.

Towards the end of the match, the pressure Tottenham Hotspur where putting on arsenal especially the last 6 minutes of extra time added was what they would have done since the beginning of the second half, however the mistake Tottenham made was to allow those number of goals in the first half because even when the arsenal keeper made that mistake and Tottenham eventually scored making 3-1 and RICE fouling the Tottenham player in the 18 yard box that caused a penalty, making it 2 goals scored by Tottenham, yet it didn't go anywhere. however it did rekindled the spirit of Tottenham players to come back into the game to make it 3-3 but the time already was far spent.

I wasn't expecting Arsenal to push back Spur the way they're doing, like the force is too much for Tottenham to handle and if nothing positive is done before the end of this game it would be another big win for Arsenal. If the Gunners had used this force against Manchester City each time they meet I don't see Arsenal losing of playing out a draw against the Citizens.
This win is going to make City to be more desperate against Nottingham Forest and that encounter might some how be a draw, the home side need a win to avoid the relegation zone for now and the visitors need both the 3pt and the trophy, for me I'd say Man City are going to lose this game.

Tottenham have lost this game to gunners, and it is a big win for them because they are now scoring high numbers of goals recently. I love the way that Arsenal is keeping up with their consistency but it is just a pity that their rival Manchester city does not want to drop points for them to take over the first position fully.

Tottenham is too weak to play Arsenal, because Arsenal is in their best form and they also have a target on winning the league. Manchester city will be playing next, and Arsenal should hope to City to lose their match.

Honestly is hard to see Manchester City drop point at this very moment knowing quite well that this campaign is coming to an end with only 3-4 games remaining, although the Gunners won and are topping the league but their eyes will be on the oncoming game just as City did when they were playing Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs wasn't weak per say is just that they weren't expecting to see the Gunners play a very fast game on them, before they could realize it's already 0-3 at half time, if you noticed you'd see that Spurs came back to life after getting their first goal and I'd blame it on Raya who did a giveaway, the Gunners were just lucky today.

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City

Nottingham Forest StartXI: 5-4-1
Matz Sels; Neco Williams; Moussa Niakhaté; Willy Boly; Murillo; Ola Aina; Anthony Elanga; Danilo; Morgan Gibbs-White; Callum Hudson-Odoi; Chris Wood

Manchester City StartXI: 3-2-4-1
Ederson; Kyle Walker; Nathan Aké; Joško Gvardiol; Rodri; Manuel Akanji; Jérémy Doku; Bernardo Silva; Kevin De Bruyne; Jack Grealish; Julián Álvarez

This is going to be a easy win for Manchester city because despite Nottingham Forest are hosting their current performance can not withstand the pressure of Manchester city, Arsenal just finished their game against Tottenham and it ended 2-3 and arsenal secured 3 points to amount to 80 points, i have interest in this title, if am to choose i prefer Arsenal to lift the trophy this season.

Manchester City formation a bit different if we compared to when they beat Brighton  because Foden who can scores 2 goals last week was unable to play and i am not sure why Foden absense but probably he got injured and Foden position today will be replaced by Jack Grealish and from centre striker Guardiola still played Julián Álvarez but i saw Haaland name on the bench and probably Haaland have already recover from his injured and will be played as substution player later

For Nottingham Forest they know the quality of Manchester City so their manager has decide to using 5 defender and seems Nottingham Forest will attempts to playing with defensive style because Nottingham Forest know if playing attacking they will conceded plenty of goals from Manchester City and about betting option currently the bookmakers has give low odds for Manchester City win @1.30 and although this odds is low but it's safe bets but if you want to gets higher odds probably over 2.5 goals is good pick because i am sure Manchester City will win with big scores again today

[3meek]

I don't know why, but Brighton are playing terribly this season... I expected Bournemouth to win, but I didn't think Brighton would concede three goals and not score... Of course the relegation zone is not in danger for them and they will finish the season in the middle of the standings, but they need to improve their game somehow...

Brighton Albion and Hove used to be a good team, playing in top places but right now they are acting like any other normal team. Both Brighton and Bournemouth are far from the relegation zone so they will remain in the middle of the table by the end of the season, yet conceding three goals without scoring any was a pure fail from their part.

In English Premier League, fights are limited for the first, fourth and 17th place mainly. These positions aren't clear yet which team will hold it with the gunners trying their best to collect three points, and Spurs successive defeats mainly '

[hyudien]

maybe I'm too confident to take the risk of -1.5 but for me this is the most comfortable option.
It's impossible for Man City to waste the rest of this match just for a draw or defeat, but I'm sure that in the rest of this match Man City will beat Notthingham with a big score even without Haaland.
what do you think ? Will Man City waste this opportunity?

The score is still 0-0 at the time of writing, but as you said I am also optimistic about betting on a Man City win, because so far even though there have been no goals scored, Notthingham game cannot dominate the field. So Man City has a chance to get 3 points today. There is still quite a long time and maybe in this first half there could be 1 goal for Man City. Doku and KDB are enough to play their role in opening up more opportunities, but in this match we really need Foden contribution but unfortunately his injury means that the striker position occupied by Alvarez is not as sharp as Foden.

[Oluwa-btc]

First of all, I was surprised to see that Antony scored. Secondly, I was surprised to see that the goalkeeper, Onana performed well. And finally even after all those surprises, still Manchester United was unable to win. At this point I do not know what to expect from Manchester United anymore. By the way Manchester United is not finishing in the top five for almost sure. so Manchester United is not taking any part in any European competition in the next season as well. This is definitely a bad thing for Manchester United.

I understand why everyone is asking for Zidane to be the new coach of Manchester United. I heard that he also expressed the feeling of being the coach of Manchester United. It is going to be incredible if Manchester United can actually get him to be the new coach. But the problem is, the owners of Manchester United are still going to be the same. And I think that is a problem Manchester United will still have to face. Because the owners are not interested in good performance at all in my opinion.

Then, it's obvious you didn't see the game, because if you did, you won't be surprised about Anthony because he was by far the best player yesterday for Manchester United ( Out Field Players ) even though Andrea Onana saved them and was crucial to the draw they had yesterday, Anthony was brilliant, it was just sad for him to see that his goal eight minutes later was leveled up or equalized with that penalty.

Manchester United did not play bad, it's just that the hardwork and chances created did not pay off, they sure need to get a right footed striker to challenge for that spot with Rasmus Hojlund.
But they should habe scored two or three against a poor side like Burnley.

I have said it a million times, Zidane is not that man to handle Manchester United, the media would just push a name just to chase tue current manager and people will not think about it. The Glazers are still there, all they want right now is profits, they don't care about the footballing aspect of the club. As much as they're still there Manchester United will never be a top tier club in my own opinion.

Its all from the top to the players, the change hasn't really happened ( Glazers Out )

I don't think Manchester City will drop points against a weak team like Nottingham Forest. City are in very good form right now. The team is consistently performing well in every match. In the previous match we also saw Manchester City team winning 4-0 against a big team like Brighton.

Although Manchester City didn't attack much in today's match, every one of their attacks seemed very planned and strong to me. Manchester City players have had 71% ball possession so far. Josko Guardiol's goal gave Manchester City the lead in the 32nd minute. The first half looks set to end 1-0.

[Bitcoin_people]

Manchester City's great performance against Forest today will ensure they win and collect the three points. And in today's match against Forest must win and they are currently placed next to Arsenal in the Premier League. Although Manchester City will be most excited at the moment as they have been relegated from the Champions League due to which their current focus is on winning the Premier League. Moreover, Arsenal will also try hard to win the EPL trophy as they are also eliminated from the Champions League, so these two teams are the most excited for the Premier League this season. And going into today's match, Manchester City will have a one goal lead in the first half against Forest, of course they will finish the match with a better result after half time and get the win. As currently Liverpool are placed below Manchester City and this season Liverpool may have lost their hopes of getting to the top of the Premier League. But Manchester City and Arsenal are likely to be more competitive, and the title race I think Arsenal and Manchester City are more excited about.

Apart from 1 goal that was scored by Manchester City, Nottingham Forrest managed to make things difficult for them, because their defense was difficult to penetrate, and Manchester City could only play the ball in the middle area. It is natural for Nottingham Forrest to implement a defensive strategy, because they realize that the club they are currently facing is a very strong club, so at least they can survive and not concede many goals.

In my opinion, Manchester City have to be more creative in the second half, because their opponents are implementing a total defensive strategy, and that means they have to think hard in order to break down the defense built by Nottingham Forrest. However, I am very confident that they will be able to win this match even if they only score one goal, for example. I also think that they will also be able to increase their lead in the second half. Because if Nottingham Forrest is always under pressure, they will also have less energy.

[asriloni]

Three two for Asenal against totenham. I believe ange is making the same mistake again in this game as it can be seen from totenham's gameplay. He continues to play high line defense despite knowing that if Tottenham was facing Arsenal and it was one of biggest mistake made by ange, no doubt that people are getting upset of him.It's one of his biggest mistakes. I meant, why can't Ange change his strategy? It is Angel's fault because he is constantly trying to make the same mistake.
I believe Tottenham needs a new coach to help the club perform even better. The current coach was not even dynamic enough to keep up with the conditions during any match. He continues to be harsh in implementing his ineffective strategy.

Tottenham cannot always rely on their son, who is constantly playing as a striker. He needs others to help him succeed in this game. Totenham was losing with a narrow margin, almost forcing the situation to a draw.
Tottenham gave a terrible performance. I don't know what else to say except that this was entirely Angel's fault. I'm not saying Tottenham's players were playing particularly well, but the strategy forced them to rely on a counterattack strategy.

[Akbarkoe]

I don't know why, but Brighton are playing terribly this season... I expected Bournemouth to win, but I didn't think Brighton would concede three goals and not score... Of course the relegation zone is not in danger for them and they will finish the season in the middle of the standings, but they need to improve their game somehow...

I think so too, Brighton this season is very sluggish and their wins are not more than their losses, so disappointing, but it is also true that being given 3-0 by Bournemouth is a surprise because I also did not expect Bournemouth to dominate like that.  
They need to buy some players who can help their stagnant ability, standing in 12th place in the standings it could be a bad sign if it continues like this, they need to reconstruct their strategy and the way they play, maybe they play too old-fashioned so that it can be broken easily by teams that have innovation in their strategies and know the weaknesses that exist in Bigetron.

BTW it seems that Arsenal feel happy at the top of the table, their fans may forget that Man City still has a match pending in the English premier league so they can pass Arsenal with that one win, the match is ongoing between City and Nottingham forest, temporarily Man City is 1-0 ahead.

[RockBell]

Only in the first half did Arsenal lead by 3 goals in this north London derby and the host Spurs seemed unable to stop every attack from the Gunners. I think the result is certain that Arsenal will win because the difference of 3 goals is very difficult to catch. Moreover, if Spurs want to win they need 4 goals and I think that is very impossible.

Mikel Arteta must provide the right strategy in the second half, especially for the defense line so that it can be strengthened again and avoid conceding. This is a high-tension match so if Spurs manage to find the back of the net then they will be even more enthusiastic about scoring another goal. For Arsenal, they have to score at least 1 more goal to finish this match and to avoid unwanted results. But if it's difficult they just need to maintain their lead until the end.

I was so excited when I saw arsenal having a 3 lead goal, everyone was like there is no way arsenal would have lose to Tottenham Arsenal is on fire and Tottenham almost equalized the three goal and if they had equalized it will be a shame on us because recording three goals from first half and we can not maintain it till the end of the game. Then I will know that something is wrong with arsenal. What will now be the essence of winning the 3 goals if they can not defend it.

And even with Arteta's strategy to tighten the defense they still scored two goals and they almost caught up, with a difference of one goal but lucky enough we were able to win. Arsenal tried because I was even expecting us to lose this game but at the end of the day we were able to win.

[_act_]

Manchester City's great performance against Forest today will ensure they win and collect the three points. hink Arsenal and Manchester City are more excited about.

Manchester City is playing with a club that is not strong and I am also expecting Manchester City to win. First half is almost gone and Manchester City is winning with 1 goal already scored by J. Gvardiol with the assist of K. De Bruyne. We are still expecting more goals. By the way, Arsenal has already won Tottenham which we know it is going to be a tough match but Arsenal trashed Tottenham 3 goals in the first half but Tottenham was not able to equalize in second half but scored 2.

I agree that Tottenham wished they had played confidently right from the beginning and not the tail end of the game but the thing with them is they don't really know how to take games serious. This is a derby and in the first leg, the Gunners played out a 2-2 draw. They didn't get a win but this should tell them something about how Arsenal knows how to prey on a weak defense and that's what Tottenham Hotspur defense was; weak.
 Bukayo Saka has become to the first English player to score home and away in a derby and I'd tell you for free, at this spate of confidence the Gunners are displaying, Tottenham Hotspur are no match for them.
Arteta really needs to work on David Raya though because I feel the more he keeps making such sloppy mistakes, it will be difficult to maintain clean sheets. With how they played from the first half, you could tell they were on their way to keeping their third clean sheet, and it would have been quite embarrassing had Spurs leveled the scores.

Manchester City have scored a goal this time and as usual they are the team that dominates the game. So far Manchester City has managed to win the first half with a score of 0-1 over Nottingham, but what is certain is that they have to work extra hard to score more goals in the second half considering that Arsenal also managed to get full points today.

Arsenal's win in the away match against Tottenham should motivate Manchester City to win the match against Nottingham. Manchester City must ensure they continue to get full points in each remaining match because only then can they defend their title this season. The good thing is, Manchester City is leading today's match against Nottingham, but they have to be careful because Nottingham can also threaten with their fast attacks.

[tusandii]

It is sad what's happening to Liverpool right now with a lot of points missed at the time when Klopp is expected to leave the team by the end of the season. Not winning anything this season while they were close to English Premier League title. They just wasted it again..
Liverpool have a lot to do without Klopp to return to their previous excellent form and fight again for the title. Gunners and Citizens are fighting head to head to get the first place with only three rounds left.

Yeah we saw a different Liverpool this time, imagine that we have seen this team continue to compete since the start of the season but what happened recently was completely beyond our expectations, Liverpool have lost 2 times and drawn 2 times in the last 5 matches meaning they have missed 10 points and that happened when they entered the end of the season. Usually things like that happen to Arsenal, but this season Liverpool experienced it.

Liverpool's current performance is like looking at Arsenal's performance last season but it doesn't rule out the possibility that Arsenal will also overtake Liverpool in the EPL title race because I'm still a bit skeptical about Arsenal's performance towards the end of their match against Tottenham Hotspur, which is quite a difficult match for Arsenal, who knows, Arsenal will lose again. points in the match later, making Man City feel fortunate to become defending champions again this season. There is no EPL club that can survive until the end except Man City in the last few seasons.

It's quite sad to see that the top 2 clubs couldn't beat Man City in any case, none of them qualified for the semi-finals and they tried to perform well in the EPL by putting pressure on each other but Liverpool and Arsenal couldn't last longer and coincidentally they had a similar match. It's quite difficult in the EPL compared to Man City.

Well it hasn't been so easy for Manchester City so far at the City ground. Well they are leading with 0:1 at halftime, but it is Nottingham Forest who have gotten lots of chances compared to Manchester City. City has been dominant in the first half but they are playing as it they don't have that spark that we usually see at this Manchester City side. The coach has to device another means to contain this Nottingham Forest side in the second half, he has to because if things keeps going the way it is, Nottingham Forest might score back that goal. Nottingham Forest are really showing a great fighting spirit if they can convert most of their chance, certainly they are going to score goals.

Yes indeed, Brighton have been playing very poorly lately because afterall, in Brighton's last six matches Brighton have not won. Perhaps, Brighton really experienced such great fatigue after being eliminated in the Europa League but perhaps, it also did not have a bigimpact. But in fact, this decline in Brighton's performance occurred when Brighton's elimination from the Europa League or perhaps, Brighton basically experienced a decline in performance this season. So yes, with the decline in performance that Brighton has experienced this season, making Brighton an unstable team and Brighton is also only a team that is in the middle of the table at the moment.
