⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽

I think the most advantage Arsenal now have over Manchester City is in the fact that, Manchester City have got more tough fixtures in the coming days than Arsenal. Arsenal have teams like Manchester United, Bournemouth and Everton to play while, Manchester City have got teams like, West Ham United, Fulham United, Chelsea and Tottenham to play. It’s easy to imagine Manchester City loosing or drawing with either West Ham United, Chelsea or Tottenham. These are teams that aren’t doing so well but, would want to make an impression when they play Manchester City and they could. Chelsea already showed strength when they played Manchester City in the quarter finals of FA cup. They lost but, would want another trier at Manchester City and that’s what they will have in the premier league.

I don't see it that way, in fact I think Manchester City and Arsenal will both face difficult matches in the remaining matches this season, especially with the pressure that they cannot lose if they want to remain in the competition for the Premier League title this season.

Manchester United is not an easy opponent for Arsenal, now you can see that this season Manchester United beat the top teams and Manchester United even managed to hold off Liverpool, thus making Lovepool out of the competition for the title this season so I will not underestimate Manchester United.

Likewise for Manchester City, they will be quite difficult against Tottenham. In the last few matches, both Manchester City have looked quite difficult and that is the reason that the match between the two will be the same, especially since both teams have great motivation to win the match.

I saw Moh Salah arguing or arguing with Kloop when he was about to come on as a substitute against West Ham. Looking at the opportunity, Liverpool still have a chance, but it seems to look very heavy. Only Man City has the best chance because Man City has 1 game less.

Liverpool are no more title contenders, they've kissed goodbye to their title challenge for the campaign after losing 2 nil to Westham last weekend. But despite their recent poor run of form in the EPL, I wouldn't rate them badly for the season based on their achievements. They won the Carabao cup and also got a ticket to the uefa champions league next season, that's something to be proud of.

Manchester City obviously has an advantage over Arsenal caused by city got three points while arsenal was bottling three points in the previous game. City has more unplayed matches than Arsenal and can still lead the competition if they win all of their remaining games and this is the main condition that shall have fulfilled by manchester city in order to win the competition. I remind you that City can have a two-point advantage over Arsenal if it wins all of its remaining games and this boost the performance from all of city's players. That being said, if everything is still going very well for Manchester City at this point. City only needs to win the remaining matches to claim the Premier League trophy and it's gonna happen very soon. City has two opportunities this season. The club can win two trophies. Pep will try to ensure that his club does not do bottle jobs in the remaining competitions by keep use the best line up in any of remaining matches.

There is no reason to be concerned about the city's current condition. The club is still doing quite well. Even if there are more injuries, the key players will continue to play in the starting lineup. City still has a good chance of getting three points in the remaining matches.
Arsenal fans must have watched all of Manchester City's matches because they are hoping that City will lose some points in order to reclaim first place. However, Arsenal can also miss three points.

The chances of City winning the league is pretty high as compared to Arsenal’s chances as they have more unplayed games than Arsenal and this alone makes the probability for them to win the title pretty high. Also the experience the team has been able to gather especially as they have been consecutive winners of the title makes their chances high too.

 City must be able to win all their remaining matches without having to fall to a draw in any of them lest Arsenal will be ready to be crowned winners. If you check the remaining fixtures, you’ll know it’s quite possible for City to be able to win those matches as they have the likes of Wolves, Fulham, Tottenham and West Ham. Well these matches look easy on paper though but with a proper analysis, then you’ll understand what City are in for.

 ⁠They’re also in the FA Cup final and yes they will sure be able to defeat Man United which makes it 2 trophies for Pep and this City side and it will be a good season for the team. The condition of the players are quite good and there’s no need to worry. ⁠I think Pep has the right tactics to help this City side and he will sure be delivering on these titles for them at the end of the season. Arsenal on the other hand still have a match with Man United which could be one tough one, not forgetting West Ham too, so this gives City the edge.

Likewise for Manchester City, they will be quite difficult against Tottenham. In the last few matches, both Manchester City have looked quite difficult and that is the reason that the match between the two will be the same, especially since both teams have great motivation to win the match.

I am sure that with a schedule that is not busy and there is no other active competition facing Manchester City, of course they will be much more focused than before. Guardiola has certainly prepared this so that he can get maximum results in the remaining matches at the end of this season and win the EPL title. this season, but I'm worried that Arsenal will stumble against Manchester United, who sometimes don't play consistently, they might make it difficult for Arsenal to get full points in the next meeting.

I think Manchester City will have no difficulty against Tottenham, obviously they will play as hard as possible to be able to win the EPL again this season, of course that is the target that Manchester City will prioritize besides the FA Cup, Manchester City will be much more focused and win that match once again. Arsenal will fail for the umpteenth time to win the EPL this season, because they will stumble in several matches at the end of this season because I believe they are not fully ready to become EPL champions this season and they are more worthy of winning the EPL next season because they may be very mature.

[Velvet78]

If Arsenal have been playing this well, their supporters wouldn't have needed to pray for them to win the league. Maybe they were hoping to win the champions league that was why they made those mistakes that put them in the position they are now. As it becomes obvious that their champions league dream will not come to pass, I have notice serious change in them especially as it has to do with winning mentality. They have dramatically improved their playing, scoring and defending and any mistake from Man City will just give them the advantage they need to win the trophy.

I don't feel like they were prioritizing the Champions League title honestly. I can say this considering the performance differences in the Premier League and Champions League. I didn't like their effort in the Champions League at all. First eliminating Porto barely and later a not much impressive effort against Bayern Munich. 

They were clearly much better in the Premier League and I have no doubt their priority was the title here as well. But that loss against Aston Villa made things extra difficult on this road. Now they have no other choice than hoping for Manchester City to lose points. But I feel like Manchester City won't give the chance back to them.

I think the most advantage Arsenal now have over Manchester City is in the fact that, Manchester City have got more tough fixtures in the coming days than Arsenal. Arsenal have teams like Manchester United, Bournemouth and Everton to play while, Manchester City have got teams like, West Ham United, Fulham United, Chelsea and Tottenham to play.

These are teams that aren’t doing so well but, would want to make an impression when they play Manchester City and they could. Chelsea already showed strength when they played Manchester City in the quarter finals of FA cup. They lost but, would want another trier at Manchester City and that’s what they will have in the premier league.

They both have strong games ahead, I think it's same or lesser than people think for Arsenal. Manchester United might be the only club likely to cause em chaos but they should still prevail at the end.

In replacement for Chelsea put Wolverampton. Manchester City has played Chelsea both home and away and the scoreline was nothing but fulltime draw during the both legs. One was 4-4 and the last fixture was 1-1 with the equalizer from the Spanish midfielder Rodri. Why do you say all these against Manchester City? Because you're gunner? Lol.

The last three clubs from London ( Fulham, United, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United would definitely cause harm for them ) I believe Arsenal will definitely get there Aguero moments even if it has to be topping the Premier League Table with goal difference.

[tusandii]

Man City PPGD +0.17, 4 games left:
- Wolves PPGD +0.38 (currently 11th), Away
- Fulham PPGD +0.79 (currently 13th), Away
- Tottenham PPGD +0.62 (currently 5th), Away
- West Ham PPGD +0.09 (currently 8th), Home[/b]

Damn. Except Tottenham does something about City, I don't think we'd get any different results from the teams on this list. Maybe West ham but still, they've been sub-par all season amd got hammered hard by Arsenal a few weeks back at the London stadium so I wouldn't count them but if they manage to cause an upset, I'll be pleasantly surprised. 

Call me crazy but I'd give Arsenal a slightly higher chances of reaching for the title. Sure, it's all in Man City's hands, if they can withstand the pressure and win all the remaining games, the title is theirs and there's nothing Arsenal/Liverpool can do about it. But I don't think people here realise how hard it will be for them to win all the remaining 4 games. They can't even afford to have a one draw as they'd lose to Arsenal by the goal difference.
The Tottenham match is the hardest in theory, but other teams can be unpredictable too. West Ham did get a proper beating last time from Arsenal (6-0), but let's not forget they defeated Arsenal in their first game in December and they also managed to steal points from Liverpool only 3 days ago.
It's not going to be a walk in the park for the City.

Arsenal has a big chance to win the title but they have to wait for Man City to lose and it all depends on Man City's performance in the remaining matches at the end of this season, currently Man City has 1 match yet to be played, maybe if it is played and won Man City's position is no longer in 2nd place but in 1st place above Arsenal, perhaps Man City will not waste this opportunity to win the EPL title again and it deserves to be crowned as the strongest club in the EPL in the last few seasons.

Tottenham is not an easy opponent for Man City, but if you look at it in terms of strength, Man City is superior to any club in the EPL, so I am very confident that Man City can beat all the clubs that will be an obstacle to them winning the title, compared to Arsenal, Man City is actually better. convincing in terms of quality and play, I'm afraid we will be disappointed again if we favor Arsenal to win the title in the EPL like the previous season.

[beerlover]

I don't see it that way, in fact I think Manchester City and Arsenal will both face difficult matches in the remaining matches this season, especially with the pressure that they cannot lose if they want to remain in the competition for the Premier League title this season.

I do not think that City will have trouble against anyone after this point, they have played very well and I assume that they are going to be quite good until the end as well.

I believe that we are going to end up with a good result one way or another, and should be considering what they could do for the long term as well. I am not saying that we are going to end up with a terrible fall, of course it is going to be something that will take a while, but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with a trouble, just assume that it will do fine later on. City may have seem like they lost UCL, but they played insanely well for that game, they were just unlucky and they look like still the best team in the world, so they will get these wins for sure.

[Palakka]

Liverpool are no more title contenders, they've kissed goodbye to their title challenge for the campaign after losing 2 nil to Westham last weekend. But despite their recent poor run of form in the EPL, I wouldn't rate them badly for the season based on their achievements. They won the Carabao cup and also got a ticket to the uefa champions league next season, that's something to be proud of.

It is surprising to see Liverpool performance which we can say as favourites to win since the beginning of the season, but instead their performance decrease the rest of the season with less than 10 games left, after getting a draw against Manchester United in their last 10 matches, Liverpool continue to experience a fairly drastic decline in performance not only in the Europa League,   But the bad results continue to be extended by Liverpool to date in the English league, defeats to Crystal Palace, Everton and draws against Westham have certainly made the direction of the competition for championship between Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal currently change, with continuing to get a negative trend in the rest of their matches certainly it is certain that Liverpool have now come out of the championship competition this season.

The competition for the EPL champion this season is now only between Arsenal and Manchester City, although currently Arsenal is one point ahead of Manchester City, of course Arsenal also cannot be favorites to win the Premier League this season because the advantage of Manchester City who have more games left, for now of course Klopp cannot give a better farewell gift than the Carabao Cup trophy and also next season's Champions League ticket for fans, because liverpool has been eliminated from all existing competitions such as the Europa League, FA Cup and also the English Premier League.

Chelsea already showed strength when they played Manchester City in the quarter finals of FA cup. They lost but, would want another trier at Manchester City and that’s what they will have in the premier league.

Liverpool has dropped in performance and is finding it challenging to keep up the challenge was for Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City but the tables have turned and it is now Arsenal and Manchester City in the race and we are leading Manchester City with just one point, we still need to keep our ends in the game because arsenal have worked very hard just to win the premier league and arteta is actually trying but he needs to start putting more efforts and keep changing strategy so that our defense and attack will stand out whenever we are playing against any club they won't take us on aware.

among other games that we are going to play the only person that is given me concerns is Manchester United, clubs like Bournemouth and Everton are not our problem the only thing I want from Arsenal is for them to maintain wins we can not afford to be losing any game now if Manchester city should lose one or two games then it is going to be a win for us then, I just pray that Arsenal should win.

Liverpool looked like a very strong contender when they started the league as they were very clinical while taking their chances and that made the league race look as a 3 man horse race. It was pretty fierce and with Klopp’s departure, a lot of us thought it will be proper they give him a good sendoff by winning the league.

 Well at a point the team lost out on the FA Cup and that affected the clubs mentality, then that went on to their European competition, they were also eliminated. The mentality of being eliminated I think is what affected them as they weren’t able to chase on the league and they dropped points in some game. They lost some games that they weren’t supposed to and they also got draw in most matches and that affected the clubs standing.

 Now we have just Arsenal amd Man City in the race because they’re the only teams that have been consistent most times this season with Arsenal being able to score great goals. I think the farewell has been cut short off for the fans as the only farewell he can give the fans is Carabao Cup and the ticket to the UCL. Now I think the new coach must start making plans on his team he’ll use to challenge for the league next season.

[len01]

what do you think about this match? are you sure that Chelsea can beat Spurs?
I think that this match will be a fierce match, both teams both have injure players and I also really believe that both teams will score.
but the problem is that the BTTS odds are very small, only @1.3 and this not worth the risk we take and if we bet on over 2.5 we will also only get very small odds for me.
so what do you think about this match and what is the best betting option for you?

[Out of mind]

In most cases of this Tottenham vs Chelsea match, we think Chelsea has more chances to win. But I would like to say from my experience that today's match will probably be won by Tottenham Chelsea, because they are in a good enough position in the Premier League points table. Although both teams have good players at the moment, we have seen that Chelsea's performances have been very poor in the last few matches, so it is not possible to tell how well they will perform in today's match. However, if we can confirm as per the betting odds then Chelsea are more likely to win here, but I think the match is more likely to be a draw. If the draw is more avoided than the bettor if the two teams try with their attacking style and their strong performances, the match may end in a draw. However, today's match is sure to be an interesting and exciting one, even though Chelsea are currently leading the competition, the game will be an adequate battle between the two teams.

Looking at 1x2 odds for both clubs, Chelsea with 2.31 and Tottenham with 2.85, and a draw at 3.95, I would say that this odds are good enough, just that the risk is higher since there are three outcomes, and this greatly reduces the chances of winning the bet.

But leaving the odds thing aside, I think Tottenham will likely win this match, regardless of the fact that from the odds on both clubs, Chelsea seem like it's the favorite in this match, that is, more people seem to be putting their bet on chelsea to win the match, but for me, If I was to, or was going to bet on this game, I will take my chances on Tottenham, this is based on the out come of the previous games of both clubs.
For example, last game of Chelsea against Arsenal ended in a 5:0 in favor or Arsenal, that is Arsenal scored 5 goals while chelsea scored nothing, Tottenham on the other hand, played against Arsenal few days ago, the game ended in 3:2 in favor or Arsenal again, but atleast, Tottenham managed to score 2 goals, much better than Chelsea that weren't able to score even 1 goal.

So, I think Tottenham will beat chelsea.

There is no reason to be concerned about the city's current condition. The club is still doing quite well. Even if there are more injuries, the key players will continue to play in the starting lineup. City still has a good chance of getting three points in the remaining matches.
Arsenal fans must have watched all of Manchester City's matches because they are hoping that City will lose some points in order to reclaim first place. However, Arsenal can also miss three points.

In terms of the possibility of winning of course Manchester City has a greater chance to win the Premier League again this season than Arsenal, for now of course the mentality and consistency of both teams are needed in order to continue to achieve positive results in the remaining matches, from the rest of the matches, Arsenal will only face Manchester United at this time which may have the potential to make them lose points,  two big teams has previously beaten by Arsenal and now Manchester United are also obliged to beat if arsenal want to remain competitive in the Premier League championship, I do not underestimate Bournemouth and also Everton but I think it is unlikely that the both teams can trouble Arsenal.

Manchester City certainly has a greater chance at this time to be winner, because easy opponents and also the rest of the postponement match which is their ace winning the competition with Arsenal, so far Manchester city has a squad that is quite qualified and even, so that when some of their main players are injured, of course their reserve players are ready to replace the position left by the main players,  For now, it's clear there are no concerns from City fans, although some of their main players are injured because they have quality back-up players.

There is no need to doubt Manchester City's mentality and self-confidence and indeed, if we look at the percentage of Manchester City winning the Premier League title this season, it is greater than Arsenal because currently Manchester City is ahead in points and there are only 4 matches left for Manchester City. .
Even though they have to face Tottenham, I think it is not that difficult for Manchester City because in terms of strength they are much stronger than Tottenham.
And on the other hand, Arsenal also faces a difficult match in the remaining matches this season, namely against Manchester United.

I believe Manchester City will be able to win the title this season because mentally their team is better than Arsenal and we can see that at the end of the day Manchester City's performance has improved compared to the start of the season.

Not sure one of them will win. This means that I guess the results will be drawn. Odds for draw betting is also better than Odds to choose to win Chelsea or Tottenham Hotspur.
Their match can be predicted to be fierce. Not because both teams have injured players, but because Spurs want to win to pursue the number of Aston Villa points.

Chelsea are no longer affected by the results they will get. If they win, they only improve ranking. Other than that only maintain statistics head to head both.
Because Spurs who have a target to take over the top 4 positions in the standings, this makes the opportunity to bet difficulties in making decisions even though the available odds as in the Chelsea screenshots are more favored.

It's hard to think City will lose to Arsenal this season. They have a points advantage and 4 games remaining. Even a difference of 1 point will make a significant difference. I think there will be no changes in the top 3 until the end of the season. City's only remaining strong opponent is Tottenham. And as you said it is not difficult for them to beat Tottenham. Arsenal still has 1 match against Manchester United but it looks like Arsenal can get a win for the remaining 3 matches. I think City will become league champions this season and Arsenal will be in second place with a gap of only 1 point. It would be a real disappointment for Arsenal if they got second place again this season.

[Palakka]

Drawn?
I don't think not, because Tottenham will make the game like a final for them, currently Tottenham have great motivation to chase victory in the game later in order to keep their chances of playing in the Champions League next season, currently Tottenham are far behind Aston Villa but Tottenham have the advantage with the two postponed games they have including against Chelsea today,  Both teams have had poor results so far in their last few games, but we can see at least Tottenham still have a better performance than Chelsea.

For Chelsea, of course, today's match is no longer meaningful to them, because indeed with the remaining 3 games they have after playing Tottenham, of course it is difficult for Chelsea to be able to climb to the European competition zone level this season, currently Chelsea no longer have hope in the Premier League and I think at the moment Chelsea are just trying to win just to please their fans,  the rest is nothing more Chelsea are looking for for the rest of the season in my opinion.

[Baki202]

It's hard to think City will lose to Arsenal this season. They have a points advantage and 4 games remaining. Even a difference of 1 point will make a significant difference. I think there will be no changes in the top 3 until the end of the season. City's only remaining strong opponent is Tottenham. And as you said it is not difficult for them to beat Tottenham. Arsenal still has 1 match against Manchester United but it looks like Arsenal can get a win for the remaining 3 matches. I think City will become league champions this season and Arsenal will be in second place with a gap of only 1 point. It would be a real disappointment for Arsenal if they got second place again this season.

There is no way we can lose to arsenal, arsenal will always continue with there daily routine of dropping from the top it’s a usual thing for them to do. And that is why am not that bothered been in competition with them and not matter what game is remaining for them I have full confidence when it comes to Manchester City, the only thing I know is that is just 1 point. I don’t think Tottenham is a problem to Manchester City.If it is arsenal they will have problem facing Manchester United. And those three matches, anything can happen, and that is why am not bothered about arsenal.
