Topic: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 - page 1455. (Read 789567 times)

Even though it is possible, it has become a definite decision that the Premier League teams will have 5 teams that will get Champions League tickets nextseason. But still,  in this moment Manchester United still has to compete strongly with Tottenham, because at thismoment Tottenham is in 5th position and Manchester United is in 6th position with a gap of 6 points. It's interesting of course, because if the Premier League teams gets 5 tickets, then it's likely that the Premier League teams will have a betterchance of getting the trophy. Moreover, Premier League teams managed to continue to make big improvements everyseason and so, ofcourse, it would be a big advantage if this happened.

Record has it that Arsenal has won Manchester City twice this season, it is therefore very difficult for Manchester City to allow Arsenal to give them three consecutive defeats in a particular season. Even if all Manchester City players get injured, it will not really affect their teams if some keep layers are available. These key players are; KDB, Rodri and sometimes Haaland. So, since these three players are available, Manchester City has no reason whatsoever to lose points with the excuse of injured layers.

In the other hand, I have trusted Arsenal to play good football and which they have been doing right from last season. But I do not trust them to be able to beat Manchester city to win the English Premier League. They have phobia for trophies, that is why they could easily give up in the 11th hour.

We cannot judge if Manchester city would be able to win Arsenal, because Arsenal is also as tough as Real Madrid. The last time that Arsenal played Liverpool, Arsenal win the match, but Manchester city had a very difficult time with Liverpool when they clashed recently. This is why I still have the feelings that the match might favor Arsenal.

However, this match is the match that will determine who might be opportune to win the league, based on whoever win this match. Because points would drop giving Liverpool a higher advantage over the two. If Arsenal can win Manchester city, they will still be on top of the table, and I believe this is what Arteta is calculating. So I believe it might be possible or a draw.

There is no information about De Bruyne yet, let's hope that the injury is not so serious. It became known that Walker will be able to play against Arsenal, the injury was not serious, this is good, but with Ederson everything is not so good, according to preliminary forecasts he will be able to return to the game in mid-April, so he will most likely miss the games with Arsenal and Aston Villa, and also possibly the first game with Real Madrid in CL.

It's always usually very different when the first team is playing as against when the second does and this is actually undisputed as it could be seen in their performance and sometimes their productivity aswell too, I do prefer that the first teams to play in most of their games but then it can't be like that all the time because the first team players are at some point fatigued or probably injured too which will then mean they can't be able perform optimally.

Kevin de bruyne is a player that he's importance in Manchester city can't be undermined, he's productive and is of very great performance to Manchester city and that can only mean that he's of great importance to the team and is definitely a first team player, away from him is also the likes of haland, doku and others in the first team who are also doing greatly for the team too. Manchester city no doubts has got a good strength and their depth is such that can be trusted to be very reliable and so they can be able to really get to deliver their squad well enough.

The absence of de bruyne actually affected Manchester city but it didn't stopped them from winning games actually, they had a few wins and also some draws aswell in his absence which they can definitely still perform in his absence but the difference will be in their productivity as  they may not be productive enough Nas they probably aught to be and this isn't common with them alone as other teams aswell has got this same experience too.

It's unclear whether DeBruyne sustained serious or minor injuries. I was reading in the latest article that he has been slowly recovering and that he is expected to return to the game against Arsenal soon. De Bruyne's contribution was comparable to Haaland's. Even Haaland would be unable to score many goals without his assistance.
It means that if these players make the most significant contribution to the club. I appreciate how de Bruyne played as if he was in charge of the club's gameplay. Without a doubt, he has been referred to as the "King of Assistance" due to his significant contributions.
Even as he recovered from his injury, he continued to score goals and assist his teammates. In such a short period of time, he has made an unbelievable impact. No doubt Pep has advised him to retire at Manchester City rather than leaving the club.
I agree that the secondary team will have lower quality than the primary team, but never underestimate it. Liverpool has demonstrated that a secondary squad can perform just as well as the main squad.

Wow, I didn’t know that the introduction of the Swiss system and the change in the Champions League format would also be accompanied by a change in the limit on the number of participating teams from one country. Previously, it also happened that 5 teams from one country participated (if a team outside the top 4 won the Champions League or Europa League), but now this will happen every year, plus if in the future a team outside the top 5 wins the Champions League or Europa League, then 6 at once teams from one country will participate.

Manchester City does not always depend on one player, although sometimes one of the players can make more contributions. Currently Pep Guardiola is not too concerned about the condition of his players because he has quite a lot of options to play. I still predict Manchester City will be able to crush Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. I also really respect Arsenal, they have developed rapidly so far, but the mentality of the Gunners players sometimes quickly collapses when under pressure. However, what is clear is that Arsenal also has a chance, even though it is very slim, but at least they have to force their opponents to share the points, which is extraordinary, especially being able to take home three points.

I don't know for sure whether Kevin de Bruyne can be used against Arsenal or not, but if he can be used, of course it will be an advantage for Manchester City because they will be strengthened by players they really rely on in midfield. He is one of the players who has had a lot of positive impact on Manchester City's game, and in fact they also still have many players who contribute.

Regarding Arsenal's chances, they still have an open opportunity to get points from this match. However, keep in mind that their current opponents are not an ordinary club even though there are several players who cannot be played. As hosts, Manchester City will also not allow anyone to go home with points, including Arsenal. They are still the main favorites in this match to win the match. But what is clear is that I hope we can be presented with an interesting game that these two clubs can show. I want to see them appear to attack each other to make the match more interesting.

I do not know what it is with Manchester United and Chelsea, but when an informed player joins any of these 2 clubs, they just seem to lose form.
Take for example: Andre Onana, Mikhyl Mudryk, Enzo Fernandez.
I do not know who to blame it for: the manager or the club’s internals.

Before Erik Ten hag came to manage Manchester United, Ole Gunnar was doing decent, to be honest. But of course those results were not acceptable for a big club like Manchester United. But these current results are not acceptable either.

Before leaving Manchester United, Ronaldo had said that the club needed some change. The owners have been changed and the staff also has been changed. Some of the top names in the world are in the director and higher up positions. my thinking is  Erik Ten Hag deserves another chance to perform under these new staff.

Apparently 5 EPL teams will be able to qualify for the Champions League next season through league position. This had something to do with West Ham eliminating Freiburg in Europa League, which boosted England's coefficient rank and moved them above Germany, meaning EPL will earn an additional UCL spot.
This is explained in this article:

So there's still some hope for Man United and Ten Hag.

Arsenal have to work harder, i don't think they have any better chances because i just saw this now from there Telegram channel that Kevin De Bruyne is going to be fit for Man City vs Arsenal this Sunday, Kevin De Bruyne is one of the key players that will make it difficult for Arsenal to defeat them, and i want you to remember that arsenal playing away match against the current champions which are still strong, despite arsenal had won them twice this season i don't consider it to be the same because this match is very important for both the teams to determine who will lead the league on table.

In my opinion, what you think is not necessarily true, even though many Manchester City players are injured, I am sure Pep Guardiola will not just give up, he can still overcome these problems to remain consistent in this match. The reason is that Manchester City also definitely wants to compete in the standings and does not want to waste the opportunity to win this match because in this match Manchester City is playing at home, of course this match is very profitable for Manchester City. Even though John Stones is injured, Walker, De Bruyne and Grealish will most likely recover in time to face Arsenal.

For Kyle Walker and John Stones position I think Manchester City has many option and its not serious problem for Pep Guardiola will make rotation but still solid teams. Manuel Akanji play well as left or right defender and for central forward Manchester City still has Joško Gvardiol will be partner with Ruben Dias. Pep Guardiola is very smart tactician and he can change well with his players from one position to the other position without get much problem and Manchester City has opportunity for taking three points against Arsenal.
As Liverpool fans, wish the match result between Manchester City vs Arsenal must be draw and give advantage has many points left on current standings position. But looks difficult both team will have open play tactician and score as many goal possible to get three points and take opportunity for winning premier league tittle.

The home factor may be a bit beneficial for Manchester City, because after all they will have the full support of the fans to improve their mentality in the game, currently important players for Manchester City in injury conditions and doubt they can appear in the game, but I think the absence of these three players will not make Manchester City weak and even the substitutes of the three players will have motivation To play well in order to continue to gain the trust of Guardiola in the next macths later.

Actually when we focus on seeing Manchester City hit by injuries, shouldn't we also see if Arsenal will now play without Martinelli who continues to be their mainstay all these years, Martinelli's injury has had a big effect on Arsenal's game and it shows when they struggle to beat Brentford and Porto before the international break starts, I personally lean to see Manchester City have the advantage in that game and although it is difficult maybe Manchester City will be able to beat Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium, so it is quite lucky if indeed Arsenal are able to get 1 point in the game if it happens as you said.

The EPL competition still remains top notch amongst clubs in the league and in this league you’ve got clubs in all positions battling to either get up to better positions or want to maintain theor positions especially as the season is about to come to an end. This kind of competition usually makes the leagues very great as you have most of the clubs wanting to add better players who’ll be able to give results for their team. I think no other league in Europe comes close to competing the way the EPL keeps up with their competition.

 ⁠We have several competitions going on in the EPL from who will be crowned league champions to who gets UCL spot, down to the Europa League spot and yes even to the relegation battle. This shows that the Epl is one crazy and unpredictable league and you should expect any result at anytime. ⁠The main focus is Manchester United’s chances of going to the UCL next season especially as they’re going to have to battle it out with the likes of Spurs and Villa who are about 6-9 points away with over 10 games to go. At this point, I don’t think Manchester United will be able to find their way into UCL spot for next season especially as their performance though improved at the start of the 2nd half of the season but you can’t expect them to be able to deliver on very consistent performance especially with the crazy schedules they’ll be having this final 10 games.

 One major worry will be the injury problem as we can see in the news that Maguire is going for a scan and this will be another bad news for ETH as he’s trying to keep up with the current injury crisis in the team and I think any more at this point will be so big for him to handle. Yes them having consistent wins will be pretty difficult especially with matches against the Likes of Chelsea who are also in a bid to get their self at UEL and also Arsenal who’re in a battle for the league. I don’t see Man United coming close to having a UCL spit rather they can probably remain in the UEL zone as not even Spurs looks like they’re going to relent neither Villa.

The fact that the match would be played at Etihad I think that would give Man City an advantage even without those three injured key players it has always been difficult for Arsenal to defeat Man City right at their stadium I don't think that would change for now the best bet is for Arsenal to draw the match I think that would be a fair result for Arsenal even now that all the players are out for international duties I can't really vouch for both teams to play with full potential, however the odds favors Man City to win based on their past winning records against Arsenal at Etihad stadium but I think Arsenal would give them a run of their money and definitely a tough match is expected between the two title contenders.

They had a poor start this season because of Injury, Erik Ten Hag wasn't having all of his best players from last season. I don't know how one should explain to y'all that he was only working with average players and how do y'all expect good results week in week out with such player's? This is no time to blame the coach, if you thinking it's one easy going job please go apply with your CV lol.

It's same way y'all predicted Manchester United would lose against Liverpool this and that and how did the game finally play? Erik Ten Hag said it that era's definitely comes to an end. He meant that when he said it, meanwhile, if you look at Manchester United against Liverpool this season, they have not lost a game.

You conclude with Manchester United and not with Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa? Y'all can be objective for once.

Am not convinced with the Manchester United performance because they are not consistent like the two teams that are above them, Tottenham and Aston Villa are ahead of Manchester United, with the current performance of Manchester United i don't think they can make it to that level with the current form, Aston villa has been aiming that place since from the beginning of the season and they are there but not with comfortability because already Aston Villa are lift with the 9 matches with 56 points and Tottenham Hotspur are lift with 10 matches with 53 points, if we noticed three points difference but if Tottenham win their outstanding match they will have the same points.

This season Premier league is getting tougher because some teams are fighting for two place in the table, the two places are first and fourth place. Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester city are all fighting for first place on the table which currently no one can point who will be there, while fourth place fighter are Aston villa, Tottenham and last Manchester United which no one can point out too.

It will be a difficult match, but I am sure it will be as enjoyable as it is difficult. I think Arsenal likes difficult away games. They will not have an easy game away against Manchester City. Manchester City, on the other hand, wants to make the best use of its home field advantage and equalize one of its strong rivals. I think it will be a fight where the competition will be felt at a high level.
