⚽ English Premier League Season: 2023/2024

[Oshosondy]

I also want to see a different champion a lot. Manchester City have been dominating the league for many years. Only Liverpool managed to break the series once and that's all.

I like a league to be very competitive in a way that different clubs would win the league almost every season but EPL is no longer like that. Manchester City is dominating and which is what I do not like about the League. I am not a fan of any club which I think is causing me to think like that.

There is a long way to go, nothing is guaranteed just yet 

It is just four matches remaining for most clubs. The clubs that have to play five or six matches to play can not can not be at the top, except Manchester City. Although I understood what you are saying, any club among the three can still win. It is just my guess and I can be right or wrong.

The chances of Liverpool giving Klopp the perfect goodbye are very slim now but it is still very tight, for example if Arsenal lose and draw their next two games while Liverpool win their next two games they will leapfrog Arsenal.

It certainly is not over just yet but Liverpool have to win their away game at West Ham United tomorrow otherwise Arsenal and Manchester City will feel safe that Liverpool are out of the title race.

Everton 2-0 Liverpool

Brighton and Hove Albion 0-4 Manchester City

Wups...  Is that a wrap for Liverpool or will they try harder to make up for the loss?  I mean with just 4 matches to go and with the three of them somewhat a little tough.  They're going against the genius Moyes and West Ham next, then the Spurs, then a tough one vs Aston Villa.  By the time they get to the Wolves the squad will prolly be too fatigued to make it a trashing against the Wolves.  :/

Arsenal, a couple of tough match ups vs the Spurs and Man United...  And both away.  Hmmm... 

[JollyGood]

As you mentioned, with just 4 games to be played Liverpool have probably run out of time to get that all-important goodbye for Klopp. Even if they win their game against West Ham United tomorrow, the problem for them is they have to hope two teams (Arsenal and Manchester City) drop points and the likelihood of that happening are very slim.

If I had to choose between Manchester City and Arsenal to win the Premier League, I would go with Manchester City because they have a game in hand and if they won it they would be be two points ahead.

I think Liverpool cannot be counted out of the title race but they are three points behind leaders Arsenal with equal games played. Manchester City have played two games less but are only four points behind. Any of those three teams could still win the title.

Real Madrid has won Manchester City in Champions League, this will make the club to concentrate more on EPL. The toughest match I see that can be played with its opponents is the last match which is with Tottenham. If Arsenal is able to rival Manchester City to last match, Manchester City will use all their strength to make sure they win Tottenham. Although it is a home match for Tottenham but I guess that Manchester City may win EPL again which is this season. Anything can still happen but this is my guess. I know that Liverpool will not win, it may likely be in the third position.

I am sure that City will end up trying to win it all, they still have a double chance right now and that is not really a bad season to be fair. Of course they will want to win UCL because that would have been great, a team that may win treble two years in a row would have been awesome, but that's not the situation. I believe that winning EPL and FA cup together would be something that would be great for them.

I think it's clear that they will be still unhappy, imagine a team that is so great that they may win double together and they end up still not happy with the result. They are even already in talks with maybe parting ways with Pep Guardiola as well, which is why it is quite shocking because he made that team what it is today so if they part ways with him, I think that will be a big mistake, but if he goes two for two then probably will keep him.

[JollyGood]

Real Madrid played the only game they could to win their game to get past Manchester City therefore full credit to them. If Manchester City win the Premier League and FA Cup double it will be a successful season too. If Arsenal manage to win the Premier League and after that Manchester United win the FA Cup final then it will be a big surprise for Manchester City as they would end the season empty handed.

What would be the chances/odds for Arsenal winning the Premier league and Manchester United winning the FA Cup?

I'm definitely opting for Arsenal to win the PL title. I'm a Liverpool fan and while its painful to say, but I be more relieved to see arsenal win it ahead of City because if City do, then Guardiola had successfully monopolized the EPL and that would be unsettling. I was gunning for Liverpool but since it is dependent on City and Arsenal losing points on more than tw occasions of the 4 remaining games and that is very much unlikely.

Tottenham should dash a final blow to one of the two PL title contenders I'm sure  

[Distraction]

By the way guys have you heard of the manager decision of Liverpool as of next season? It looks like it is going to be Arne Slot. 

There isn't an official announcement by Liverpool side yet as I can't see on their website or official social media accounts. However it looks soon to be announced after making the official signing.

I only know him by the Eredivisie title he achieved at Feyenoord last season. I don't know much about his strategies, tactics and so on. If Liverpool rushed this much to decide their new manager then there must be something special about him. Otherwise there have already been really good options such as Conte for example.

These are the games taking place today Saturday 27th April:

West Ham United vs Liverpool
Fulham vs Crystal Palace
Manchester United vs Burnley
Newcastle United vs Sheffield United
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Luton Town
Everton vs Brentford
Aston Villa vs Chelsea

Liverpool travel to West Ham United in a must win game for them because it will put them back in joint top position in the Premier League table. They will be sitting second because of goal difference only. Both Arsenal and Manchester City play their games tomorrow.

I was gunning for Liverpool but since it is dependent on City and Arsenal losing points on more than tw occasions of the 4 remaining games and that is very much unlikely.

I am unsure about Arsenal because if they drop points against both away games at Tottenham and Manchester United, they will probably finish the season in 3rd place.

Tottenham should dash a final blow to one of the two PL title contenders I'm sure  

Without a doubt Tottenham will have a massive say in how the Premier League title contenders stack up points because they will play Arsenal tomorrow and then later travel away to Liverpool and then are at home to Manchester City too. Other notable games include Manchester United vs Arsenal. If Arsenal drop points as expected, they will probably finish the season in 3rd place.

By the way guys have you heard of the manager decision of Liverpool as of next season? It looks like it is going to be Arne Slot.  

I had never heard of him before the media mentioned his name but Liverpool have to make a decision and it will be very difficult (if not impossible) to fill the gap left by Klopp.

[nelson4lov]

I am unsure about Arsenal because if they drop points against both away games at Tottenham and Manchester United, they will probably finish the season in 3rd place.

I understand that it would be very tough for Arsenal to come out of both fixtures with full 6 points but I have a gut feeling that they would be able to pull it off. I'm not sure which would be the biggest challenge but it's worth noting that it's been a long time since arsenal has been able to get 3 points at the old Trafford so for what its worth, that game is going to be very difficult for Arteta and his men.

For Tottenham, my money is on Arsenal to smash through. Arsenal winning league is dependent on Tottenham putting up an upset against city. Just wanted to point it out.

Klopp has a really special place in Liverpool fans' hearts. He is completing his 9th year... He has become like Liverpool's Simeone.  

When it comes to Arne Slot people don't know about him much. If he starts like Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen then it would be really interesting to watch Liverpool. But the work Xabi Alonso is doing is just insane. It isn't that easy to reach his level now.

Arsenal shouldn't have lost against Aston Villa. Their job was already difficult and they made it worse. Now they have nothing to do other than waiting patiently for Manchester City to lose points.

I also have a bet placed on Arsenal win to defeat Tottenham. I can't say I'm not worried because of the draw at Emirates before.

These are the game taking place today Sunday 28th April:

Bournemouth vs Brighton and Hove Albion
Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City


These are the results of games played yesterday:

West Ham United 2-2 Liverpool
Fulham 1-1 Crystal Palace
Manchester United 1-1 Burnley
Newcastle United 5-1 Sheffield United
Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 Luton Town
Everton 1-0 Brentford
Aston Villa 2-2 Chelsea

It seems as though Liverpool are out of the title race even though mathematically it is still possible but very much dependent on how results at Manchester City and Arsenal play out.

I understand that it would be very tough for Arsenal to come out of both fixtures with full 6 points but I have a gut feeling that they would be able to pull it off.

The first step for them is at Tottenham today, I think Arsenal will lose the game because Tottenham will try their best to stop their North London rivals winning the title.

^  Liverpool is def out of it.  Sad really...  I hope to see them win it all one last time for Klopp.  But who knows... A miracle could happen.  City and Arsenal lose a couple of matches giving Klopp one final crack at it.  That would be something we'll be talking about for years.  Lol.  But yeah, a guy can dream. 

A couple of somewhat tough match ups for City tho vs Tottenham away and vs West Ham at home.  Should be pretty interesting match with the genius Moyes. 

[JollyGood]

These are the results from the games played yesterday Sunday 28th April:

Bournemouth 3-0 Brighton and Hove Albion
Tottenham Hotspur 2-3 Arsenal
Nottingham Forest 0-2 Manchester City

Tottenham fought back from 0-3 down to end the game 2-3 but it was Arsenal that took all three points. Also, Manchester City won their game which effectively means Liverpool are out of the race even though mathematically they are still involved.

This is how the top three will have to play their remaining games:

Do they still show it like Liverpool are in the title race?    They literally need a miracle as of now to take back the lead so it is a very low probability I'm afraid. Klopp somehow couldn't motivate his players for the championship on the recent weeks and they are paying for it now. It is an unpleasant way to say goodbye for him.

But I'm not saying it like he is bad. He has had really good times with Liverpool over the years. A CL title, a PL title and many more cups added to his achievements.

Arne Slot will surely have a big task to perform after Klopp. 

[JollyGood]

For Liverpool, the worst part about their result at West Ham United in the 2-2 draw was of course to lose two points but we cannot avoid notice the disharmony between Klopp and Salah. There was no need for them to argue on the touchline in full view of the watching spectators and cameras but the fault (in my view) is solely with Salah.

In the end, Klopp is the manager and the players have to accept his decisions. It seems as though Salah overplayed his part because he knows Klopp is leaving at the end of the season and also because he himself will try to leave Liverpool for the Saudi Pro League in a deal that will pay him millions of USD$ per month.

About their title hopes, as stated before mathematically there is a chance they can win the Premier League therefore they cannot be counted out.

On paper, they still have a chance, because the Premier League still has 3 more matches left for Liverpool but if you look at the current performance of Arsenal and Man City, It seems like Liverpool's chances are just wishful thinking. Unfortunately, it all doesn't depend on Liverpool's efforts because if Man City and Arsenal manage to get 2 more wins then Liverpool's hopes will be dashed. It looks like Liverpool are having a bad day at the end of this season and this began to be seen when they were eliminated in the FA Cup when playing against Man United. Not long after that, they suffered a humiliating defeat when they played against Atalanta in the Champions League first leg.

[JollyGood]

Liverpool were knocked out of the Europa League (not the Champions League) and up until the point they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester United, they were fighting for a quadruple consisting of the Premier League, FA Cup, Europa League and the EFL Cup (which they already won). Within days it started to unravel for Liverpool and now they are in danger of losing hope of winning the Premier League.

As you said, on paper they still have a chance but it is going to take Manchester City and Arsenal to face losses too and it seems unlikely.

By the way Leicester have become the champions and promoted back to the Premier League. 



It is really nice to see them back here. However I wonder what they will do next season. They are going to make lots of money after this promotion. I hope they use this money properly to consolidate the squad. Because the PL is a way more difficult competition and I wouldn't like to see Leicester being under the danger of relegation again.

Jamie Vardy is still playing and scoring many goals. He is really special for the fans surely but I wonder when he is planning to leave or retire...

[JollyGood]

Congratulations to Leicester City, it was an excellent season for them to bounce back in to the Premier League at the first attempt and not only that they did it in style by becoming champions.

Ipswich Town are in prime position for finishing as runners-up and can secure promotion to the Premier League if they manage just a draw (and a point) in their final game otherwise Leeds United could pip them if results go against them.

Even the teams in the play-off positions are worthy of being in the Premier League: Leeds United, Southampton, Norwich City, West Bromwich Albion (along with Hull City in 7th place) therefore this will be an intriguing final day of the season.

By the way Leicester have become the champions and promoted back to the Premier League.
