Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

I don't think Newcastle will be able to win this match. Fulham is flying high at the moment and are scoring a lot of goals as it stands. Newcastle are struggling due to injuries and most of their star players are still out injured. Newcastle has been collapsing late in the game because there are no squad dept and Fulham will capitalize on this. I don't see Newcastle performing well again until January.

The first half has ended, the two teams are still playing in a draw with the score still 0-0. Newcastle were still unable to break the deadlock even though Fulham played with 10 men after Raul Jimenez received a red card in the 22nd minute. Newcastle must take advantage of their superior number of players to achieve victory. Eddie Howe must have the courage to make Newcastle appear to attack to open up the advantage in this match.
Newcastle must end the three consecutive wins experienced in the EPL and UCL. This time they have a good opportunity to end their bad record in the last three matches, the advantage of playing at home and having a superior number of players must be exploited for a win.

Manchester City is in a lot of attacks at the moment and Manchester City managed to score 1 goal in 24 minutes. But now Crystal Palace's defense is very weak at the moment due to which they have a lot of attacking opportunities. Manchester City have 74% of the ball, and Crystal Palace have the remaining 26%. I can see Manchester City having the ball at their feet for most of the halftime, but in attack Crystal Palace had 14 shots at the goal post, and Crystal Palace only 2.

[Queentoshi]

Manchester City are playing right now against Crystal Palace which is defending with 7 players and sometimes with the whole team, yet Grealish managed to score a goal after VAR verification.

Grealish knowing that there is now competition for his place in the team is making sure he impresses the coach now while he has the opportunity to before Jeremy Doku returns.

Chelsea in their own game against Sheffield have lacked the creativity to create enough chances to score. The game is drawn in the first half, and with less time to play now, Chelsea would have a bigger problem if Sheffield scored the first goal because they have defended well so far and will try to defend more better if they can score a goal. I suspect that Nkunku will have some time to play in this second half, if he scores if given a chance, that will be a good way to make his return.

[RockBell]

Chelsea was coming with almost the same squad like the previous matches. There only change that occurs toward the goal keeper position. Chelsea was not using sanchez as a goal keeper. It seems chelsea may lose in this game. Im avoiding to bet on this match caused by chelsea is a very inconsistent team for this season. If i can and i would like to give chelsea an award about the most inconsistent club in EPL. As far as i watching the match now and the problem that occurs to the chelsea is the same.
Chelsea's attacking line is always having trouble with the positioning. It seems like that almost all of its attackers have no ability to get a good positioning to catch the ball and shoot it.

Even chelsea is still struggling when it was playing against a weak team. SHU was nothing this season but chelsea may lose three points. Why doesn't pochet change the strategy?

And Chelsea using the same squad is not really affecting their performance from the well  Chelsea is playing it looks satisfying but the problem now is that they lack creativity on how to score, because Sheffield United are channel all their energy to the defense and making it very difficult for chelsea to score and even sterling is putting in effort but its not working.  And it does not look like chelsea will lose and true that they are inconsistent but their play is still organized but lacking to score but if they keep  the pressure they might have a chance to score, they have a better chance of winning than Sheffield United, they just need to make some corrections to make a balance. And since they are just coming back from the second half let's us see the wonders that will happen. Is it going to be draw or a win.

Manchester City are playing right now against Crystal Palace which is defending with 7 players and sometimes with the whole team, yet Grealish managed to score a goal after VAR verification. If he was like 1 cm in advance it would be disallowed and that goal might be a discussion subject.
Manchester City are pushing and Foden shot was so close. Meanwhile, Ederson deserved a red card instead of the yellow card he received! He was targeting the foot of the player and he was lucky the attack was in the side otherwise he will get red carded.
Manchester City are playing way better and the full defence tactic of Crystal Palace is useless in my opinion.

Man City really dominated the game because Crystal Palace preferred to play defensive football and they only relied on counter attacks. Maybe the situation will be different in the second half because to catch up with Man City, Crystal Palace must play more aggressively and strive to create more opportunities. If that happens, it could be an opportunity for Man City to score another goal because it will be easier for them to penetrate Crystal Palace's defense.

Any club side playing defensive style against a team as strong and dominant as Manchester city has got to have a plan to score or at least not concede more than they can equalize. No doubt Manchester city will add to the goals in second half which is about to begin.
Grealish may have been lucky to have found the net early but it is Haaland we know that can and should and would have been of better impact to force the defense to make blunders. So bad he is unavailable in the match today as well as Doku who would have done some damage coming in from the flank.

Newcastle United can't take advantage with Fulham have to played with 10 players after red card receiving by Raul Jimenez on 22th minutes match begin. Its not really expected result for first half with Newcastle United failed scoring goals against teams have to play with 10 players. Still have 45 minutes left on second half as great chance for Newcastle stop their bad result last several matches and eliminated from Champion League by defeating Fulham. Eddie Howe have to play more offensive on second half if not loss opportunity against team have loss their one player, Newcastle not really dominance yet on first half regarding 2 shots on target than Fulham success made 3 shots on target.

If you watch closely, Crystal palace are not that useless as you put it, looking at the way the game has been going this first half, Crystal palace have been defending no doubt, but they've also have a brilliant counter attack formula they've been using lead by olise, and it has helped them to create some sort of threat at the Manchester city defence line a little bit. No doubt about the fact that Manchester city have more fire power than them, however if it has been so easy for Manchester city, I believe the goals would have been more than one this first half.

Playing a defensive game won’t favour Crystal Palace. Manchester City is a dangerous club that you shouldn’t even try to place a defensive game with, they will just struggle to score at least a goal in the match. Manchester City dominated the first half of the match, and  they were able to score a goal in the first half of the match. But from the way Manchester City dominated the match in the first half, I am expecting them to score more goals in the second half of the match. Their performance is really impressive in the match.

In the other way round, Fulham has been in an excellent performance recently and they are known in scoring high number of goals. So, it is nice that the match will play over 2.5 goals and possibly both teams to score.

Fulham played well in the first half of the match, even with a man down, they struggled to maintain a draw in the first half of the match. Sure,  they will want to get a draw in the match even if they can’t win, but it won’t really be easy for them. Let’s just hope they will be able to hold Newcastle down in the second half of the match even with a red card.

Manchester City will definitely win the match because I can see players like Grealish that is adding more effort to make sure that his club doesn't lose the match. Currencies they are on the lead and that is how the match is going to continue, because they will be on the lead till the end of the game. There will be more scores in the second half from both teams and I believe that Manchester city will score up to 3 goals in this match. Chelsea are finding it difficult to put the ball at the back of their opponent's net and I don't see them winning their own match.

If Manchester City can't score the second goal, they can't play comfortably until the end of the match. Crystal Palace are defending but they can score on the counter and keep City off balance. Crystal Palace are not playing well in their last games and they don't have a win, so I think City will win the game, but they still need to be careful on the counter.

Defensive teams are always dangerous against big teams. So I assume Pep is thinking about that and taking precautions, they won't want to lose points at home against such an opponent.

Manchester City must maintain their winning streak if they want to occupy the top spot in the Premier League points table. Manchester City have fallen far behind in the title race. Even with a win today, Manchester City will need more time to regain the top spot in the points table.

Crystal Palace is not a strong team. Naturally, we are seeing the dominance of Manchester City. But I thought that since Crystal Palace's defense is not strong, Manchester City will win today's match by a big margin. But Crystal Palace are playing a completely defensive strategy today. So Manchester City might get a narrow win today.

And since they are just coming back from the second half let's us see the wonders that will happen. Is it going to be draw or a win.

Chelsea its playing quite well today, but the attacking creativity is less than 1% for me and the greatest problem is the guy up front, he's not fully involved in the game, always playing as though he's an alien to the struggle on the pitch. I just wish Pochetino would see things clearly and know that Jackson is not the kind of player Chelsea needs at this moment. Chelsea needs a striker with some sort of force and delivery, but Jackson is a weak forward. He finishes well sometimes though, but what they need now is some sort of Drogba or Diego Costa upfront. I'm glad Nkunku is back. Maybe we could see improved performance in Chelsea's attack going forward.
Good thing Palmer has scored, Chelsea Leads by 1

Good thing Palmer has scored, Chelsea Leads by 1

Chelsea's opponent is a team at the bottom of the standings. I hope they can be more aggressive, not just satisfied with the current 2 score lead. they had very few chances even against the team that conceded the most goals this season.
Chelsea is facing serious problems with their team's performance. Who knows what's wrong with Pochettino's strategy, Chelsea is very inconsistent in their game. and that was a serious problem for him, otherwise maybe they would replace a new coach.

[Franctoshi]

Chelsea has now woken up out of their slumber this second half with an account opening goal from Palmer and a second goal from Jackson, and despite Jackson getting scoring the 2nd goal, If I were to be the coach I would substitute Jackson and Raheem sterling in this second half both guys has been too slow with the ball and their finishing is very poor. I saw Nkunku warming up and he seem ready to play after coming back from injury, I hope he gets featured in this game.

I suspect that Nkunku will have some time to play in this second half, if he scores if given a chance, that will be a good way to make his return.

That will be a tougher rock for Chelsea to crack through should Sheffield UTD have to score in this game before Chelsea, Sheffield have proven to have a strong defense in this game so a goal from them they will just sit behind and defend their goal till the end.

I am not impressed with Chelsea's defense and midfield, the defenders are slow behind while the midfielders are not making decisive crosses to the attacking front who I think are doing better today than in their previous games only that the ball is not regularly getting to them from the midfield. I expected Chelsea to come back into the second half with a hunger to score and win this game.

Sincerely I'm having the same doubts as you too, the consistency to maintain the top spot in the English premier League is not an easy task, let's just watch how well arsenal would go about this their campaign this season, although I give it to them haven been this consistent till this time of the season, though Manchester city has have had their fair share of inconsistency this season too, so maybe arsenal could capitalize on that weakness by Manchester city to end at the top ranking of the league.

Arsenal are still one of the strong contenders in the league this season but we doubt they can survive until the end of the season after entering the second half of the season. Arsenal and Liverpool should be able to take advantage of Man City's unstable condition because currently Man City has a weak point after several players suffered injuries. Both Arsenal and Liverpool have to really take advantage of the conditions because the league is still quite long and if both of them are unable to maintain consistency then it is feared that when Man City shows another good game they could be chased like the previous season.

However I'm not seeing much threat from Liverpool or even Tottenham Hotspur, in any case the league is still open for Many things to still happen.

Liverpool have been a strong challenger this season to become one of the teams in the League and they are still consistent enough to date to have managed to occupy first place in the standings. This week they will face Man United and this will be proof of how strong they are to stay at the top of the standings because if they slip up, Arsenal will take over at the top of the standings. Tottenham were not part of the title race because they were only able to play well in the beginning, but now they have lost consistency after suffering several defeats.

Truthfully city have doubled their lead, obviously this will reduce the seemingly pressure Crystal palace have enjoyed before, Manchester city will now go ahead in demystifying Crystal palace and reduce their pressure entirely, because at this point Manchester city are even likely to score more goals because that's their trademark whenever they get to this point sometimes in a game.

Man city has completed two goals now the game is 2-0 goal difference between the two teams and the game has passed 74 minutes and only few minutes are left so in this period man city's opponent team crystal palace can't beat man city by scoring 3 goals to win the match. So it is almost sure that Man City will win this match very easily.  Meanwhile, since Man City is only 1 point behind Liverpool in the 2nd position in the points table, after winning today's match, Man City will move to the top number one position.

I saw Nkunku warming up and he seem ready to play after coming back from injury, I hope he gets featured in this game.

Chelsea performance during the first half was nothing but embarrassment to the top teams despite playing on their own home against a bottom team. It's indeed impressive seeing how they turn things around this second half with a double against nil but truth be told, Chelsea has a lot of work to do upfront else they'll continue to suffer defeat when they meet top teams. There's no atom of creativity in the forward and many chances wasted before being able to secure a goal is not a good signal at all. With the presence of Nkuku in the squad after a long absence due to injury will perhaps make some difference. We still have a long way to go for this season and it is too early to make some judgment now.

[Sunderland]

Anyone here bet on Bournemouth vs Lutton?

I think this is the first time I watch (live) match suspended because of there is an injured player.
Lutton capt Tom lockyer collapse in the pitch, and I heard the commentator said that this is not the first time he collapses in the field because of Atrial fibrillation, a condition that can cause an irregular or abnormally fast heart rate.

If the player has a serious problem with his health why the Premier league still allowed him to play?
