Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Strongkored]

Manchester United vs Tottenham will be the most anticipated match this week in addition to some matches that might run quite balanced like between Brighton vs Wolves.
Manchester United will always be in doubt especially facing Tottenham who are much better than them this season at least that's what can be seen in how Manchester United has suffered 9 defeats while Tottenham are only 5x in 20 matches, Tottenham managed to score 42 goals while United only 22 goals and worse more conceded than goals scored by United.
The home factor is also not an advantage for Manchester United because this season has lost at least 4x at home and only 1 difference with 5x away defeats. This will be a difficult match for both but Tottenham although not the favored team will have a chance to get a point, their obstacle may be that Son has to defend his country in the Asian Cup so he will not play even though he is quite the foundation of Tottenham so far, so there may be weaknesses in their appearance later.

Because of the arrangements and formation the coach used, I already knew that Chelsea would lose to Middlesbrough. Palmer isn't even playing as a striker, so how can the coach use him to play in that position? That formation is completely incorrect in my opinion because I didn't see any striker that could finish the game with a goal.

Many people believe that Chelsea still has hope because they play Middlesbrough again in the second leg of the match. I hope Chelsea can win and defeat Middlesbrough. Sometimes, when Chelsea plays well, you may believe that the team is finally back, but in reality, Chelsea's performance has not changed, and even if they don't play well in their next match, Middlesbrough will still defeat them.

Chelsea, with its main players, does not have sufficient strength, especially if many secondary players are fielded, of course this will make them worse.
Indeed, Chelsea's problem this season that has not been resolved is the problem of their front line not being able to convert opportunities into goals and this has been happening since the start of the season and even with the main players.

I was not surprised by Chelsea's defeat against Middlesbrough because overall Chelsea's performance was not very impressive and the players they played in this match performed well below standard.

[Warkop]

Chelsea lost to Middlesbrough in the EFL cup. Ouch! Cole Palmer missed a sitter. Chelsea just cant get things right this season.

It's still leg 1, there will be another chance for chelsea to win the game as long as the club will able to make more than 1 goals against middlesbourg in the second leg. So, chelsea needs to learn from the mistake being made in the first leg.
As you can see that chelsea got impressire stats but finishing once again becomes the main problem of chelsea that may be preventing the club on the second leg. The first leg was happening again and losing 1 goal can still be tolerated by the fans.
The different thing when it comes to the losing a lot of goals in a short time. Chelsea can make its comeback at the secondleg. This is another chance for chelsea to get into the next round.

Chelsea's performance was not pretty and it was also missing a lot of chances. This is the main problem that needs to be solved soon. The club was performing so badly and this is the main problem. Pchettino needs to find a solution to beat it in the second leg.

It should be against a poor team from the championship division that chelsea can win easily and win hands down. but in reality it lost 1-0. but there is still a 2nd match played at stamford bridge to win with a 2 goal advantage at stamford bridge and against a poor team from the championship division it should be easy for chelsea to do. to advance to the final which will most likely be against Liverpool.

Chelsea's defeat in this match was the result of negligence by the Chelsea defenders, because they were too focused on continuing to attack so they were caught off guard when Middlesbrough put pressure on Chelsea's goal. I saw that Chelsea's game looked quite good in this match, they continued to attack and put pressure on Middlesbrough's goal, only Chelsea's attack was unable to penetrate Middlesbrough's goal, because their defense was quite strong and difficult to penetrate. In my opinion, Chelsea's movements and strategy were read by the Middlesbrough players so that Chelsea's front line had difficulty scoring goals. For the second match, Mauricio Pochettino must be able to change his squad's playing strategy pattern, so that Middlesbrough players do not easily read the movements of his attack line. That way, I'm sure Chelsea will easily score a goal in the second match and win the second match with Middlesbrough 2-0.

Damn again and again Chelsea made me lose some money and destroyed the series of bets I had, these losses were quite annoying.
They only played against teams from the Championship League but still lost and of course many of their fans or bettors felt disappointed.
If you look at the performance of the two teams, it is clear that Chelsea is superior, but on the field Chelsea playing quality is quite poor, they were able to dominate the match but failed to score goal.
From here it might give you feeling of skepticism towards them.

It's a mistake to not replace Palmer with other striker, he already got three big chances, but wasted all of them. Although Chelsea play really well, I don't feel they will qualify for final since they don't have any good striker. Broja, Sterling, Palmer, Madueke, etc are just B class players.

Isn't shame Chelsea lose against mediocre team in Championship?

I guess the next match Middlesbrough will play defensive and end in draw.

Chelsea dominated the game but squandered a host of chances, with Cole Palmer particularly wasteful. Now Middlesbrough now have a slender advantage ahead of the return meeting at Stamford Bridge, then Chelsea can get the chance to right the wrongs in two week's time when they host the replay. I think Chelsea are even very lucky that the goal difference isn’t much. They will have the chance to put things right in the second leg. If the result of this match doesn't make you want to sign a world class striker I don't know what will. Honestly no team will win anything with players who can't finish.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

It's been an unresolved fact for a long time that Chelsea have a problem with finishing.Pochettino hasn't figured out how to fix it yet and if he can't fix it for a few more weeks, his job will get harder.I don't think he can continue in the team for much longer. Even though they played a dominating football in this match, Middlesbrough managed to win the match.Chelsea's squad quality and squad is really good but they have become a team that cannot use it.Pochettino and Chelsea may not be a good match for each other, we can understand this when the same squad is in place and another manager comes in.

For this reason, Pochettino is actively searching for a new striker in the winter transfer window. Nicolas Jakson clearly hasn't lived up to expectations, and he's also currently involved in the African Cup. Many names are being thrown around, aside from the well-known ones like Osimhen and Ivan Tony. Recently, Chelsea revealed their interest in Artem Dovbyk from Girona. However, it's tough for Girona to part with Dovbyk in this transfer window. Chelsea is missing a true goal-scorer upfront, and personally, I believe Osimhen is the most suitable player for Chelsea right now, and I hope Chelsea can secure his signing soon.

Overall Chelsea was better in this match but they cannot score a goal against a team that is a league lower then them. This is worrying because how can you expect from them to do anything big in the premier league. I think they will even struggle in the second leg aswell, because their opponent will probobly park the bus.

Overall, Chelsea played very well, but the problem was again that their attack line was very disappointing. Arsenal and Chelsea seem to have the same problem this time. But I think Chelsea's condition is more worrying.

For the second leg, I think there is still hope for Chelsea. But if the opponent decides to make a full defensive strategy then well this will be very difficult for Chelsea. But if the opponent is a little greedy and continues to play with an offensive strategy then I think Chelsea will have a chance to win and of course they will have to score more than 1 goal. But even then, Chelsea can improve their very blunt attack line so that it becomes sharper.

almost all people would say that Chelsea performed extraordinary but it was disappointing that weaknesses in the attack line were a bad problem for Pochettino because he as the coach is responsible for everything in chelsea future but was very surprised when Cole Palmer wasted an opportunity in front of goal and failed to get a score.
for me, comparing Chelsea with Arsenal is too good, but comparing Chelsea with Man united is more appropriate because both of these teams have same bad qualities in attack and defense.

I thought yesterday Chelsea could easily win with a narrow score but in fact it wasn't as easy as I imagined and for me it wasn't just the attack line that lacked focus but the defense line was very weak or looked inconsistent.
this time, Chelsea and Man United have really become popular teams that have experienced decline in performance and are you still sure that these two teams will achieve good results at end of this season?

What makes Tottenham superior in the next match is that their performance is better than MU's, which is currently very difficult to predict. MU played inconsistently even when facing opponents they should have been able to beat.
Due to the inconsistent play of the squad created by Ten Hag, it is difficult to predict whether MU will win or even lose at home. Maybe MU can win with a small goal difference. or even a draw they can get. still confused but I will determine the bet on this match, just before the match starts.

MIddlesbourgh needs to be careful coz it will be playing at stamford bridge. Chelsea may be changing the formation being used in the first leg. The formation used by pochettino in the match against middlesbourg made chelsea look so stupid as fuck.
I meant look at how palmer becomes a striker while broject was just starting from the bench. Gallagher played as attacking midfielder, sterling on the left and medueke on right, This is stupid mistake to do an experiment and pochettino deserves to be kicked out from the club.
Pochettino was so overconfidence in that game and he was implementing non sense strategy used by chelsea to face the mediocre team like middlesbrough. It's very annoying to see the horrific strategy used by chelsea.
Pochetitno did same mistake again to put the players not in their actual positions which is so stupid as fuck. I thought that chelsea could be winning a lot of pochettino won't do stupid thing like that. It looks so pathetic to see that.
Why does pep keep make same mistake again? What's his reason to do that? POCHETTINO OUT!!!! With that game today and it was fucking pain to watch it. Pochettino did it again. What a stupid coach!

There are have first and second leg format with EFL Cup still not close opportunity for Chelsea qualifying to final round and get chance for winning first trophy in this season after losing hope with Premier League trophy. Losses 1-0 from Middlesbrough last night not much problem if Chelsea possibility win above two goals on second leg match will play at the end of this month.
Actually Chelsea have good performance last night and dominance with ball possession until shots on target, but Middlesbrough can manage on first half from Hayden Hackney make their chance are large on second leg.

Chelsea must all out on second leg match in front of their fans, get advantage with playing home at second leg must win above two goals and has chance qualify to final because will be the first trophy for Pochettino as first season as Chelsea manager.

This is worrying because how can you expect from them to do anything big in the premier league. I think they will even struggle in the second leg aswell, because their opponent will probobly park the bus.

Chelsea had to acknowledge Middlesbrough superiority even though they created more opportunities, they also appeared to dominate by controlling Ball Possession by 72 percent, but that was not enough to give them victory. Chelsea recorded 18 shots throughout the match, five of which were on target, while Middlesbrough only fired 8 shots, two of which were on target.
Chelsea still has a chance to make up for their mistakes in the second leg, they need to increase their attacks by creating opportunities to catch up from the first leg. It must be admitted that Chelsea's attack in the first leg was very ineffective, they played like they were not coordinated which resulted in many goal scoring opportunities being wasted.

Undoubtedly, Chelsea were the best team on the pitch their EFL semi final game at Middlesbrough and I don't think there's anyone who watched that game that's gonna argue that fact but it still didn't stop them from losing because in the most important statistics which was the scoreline, they were weren't better than the home team. Chelsea's failure to find the back of the net yesterday despite having 18 shots but five on target in that very particular game was the sixth time this season that the Blues have failed to score in a game.

Most games Chelsea did lost this season they always have a good or the best stat but still fails to score goals even with a clean open chances while the defence sometimes makes silly mistakes to cause goals wonder how Chelsea defence will be like after Silva finally leaves the club.

Chelsea's manager Mauricio Pochentino needs to step up his game and improve his tactical approaches to games if he truly wants to remain at the club. With all the quality players at his disposal, I didn't expect Chelsea to draw that particular game talk more of losing it. Considering their standard, that was a very poor result for Chelsea

The hit is on now for Poch, the truth is he has to do much better but my big concern is if they actually fire him, who should Chelsea go for because to me I guess the only coach that can actually change Chelsea without asking for new signings while unlocking potential of Conor, Caicedo, Mudryk and Enzo is Ancellotti

In the match that was carried out there was nothing wrong with Chelsea because they always played the same as they did before, their possession of the ball was very good also the same as they always played in several other matches in the EPL but indeed in this case Chelaea's problem is also not much different.
Their situation is not very favorable with poor finishing in a match including in this match. Their possession of the ball was more than 70 percent and it showed that Chelsea was in full control, attempted shots were also quite a lot in this match but because of the tight defense of Middlesbrough in the match made it difficult for Chelsea players to create on target and goals.
The first leg did not go well for them but there is still hope of course with the second leg especially when it will be done at Stampord Bridge later because it is their only chance.

[$crypto$]

Maybe Chelsea lost on purpose and won't win the next return game either... They have a very serious schedule of next matches... After Middlesbrough they have games with Aston Villa and Liverpool... So I wouldn't be surprised if they lose again...

I think this is not a deliberate defeat but the completion of their attack is still less than optimal, so this defeat is very unnatural actually because their opponent is a championship team that should be able to win, but unfortunately they lost even though I was confident with the bet. Lol

The busy schedule I feel Chelsea is not sure to win, this team still lacks a lot for the attack line especially their defense is still quite weak that's what I see.
Well the same, I won't be surprised if Chelsea lose because with Middlesbrough they can lose how about a tough team.

[swogerino]

Most likely Chelsea lost the game yesterday night as they need to be fully focused on the Premier League yet this is not a justification for them to lose against a team which plays in a lower division.Middlesborough was really motivated and played a very good game yesterday night and well done to them.Chelsea is in trouble overall as they are not performing in a consistent winning mentality,they win and lose and this has left them in middle of the table.

[KTChampions]

Many fans are simply used to Manchester City winning the premier league in the last three seasons, not four. They failed to remember how Manchester City made fierce efforts to come out on top for the championship. It was never a simple ride.

Last season it was Arsenal who started to lead before Manchester City was catching up in the last matches of that season. And before the last season, Manchester City outpointed Liverpool by only a single point to win the championship.

There are many matches left and this condition for Manchester City is not new to them. I am certain Pep Guardiola is aware and he will bring some help if it is essential. Manchester City was greatly impacted by the prolonged absence of KDB, but he is back.

That season, when Liverpool was only one point behind, can only formally be called “close” competition - in fact, the entire season City was in the lead by a large margin, and Liverpool, having lost many points at the start, tried to catch up. In the end, they were unable to catch up and only reduced the difference to a minimum, but the title was in City's pocket all the way. In the Arsenal situation, City's gap to Arsenal was indeed large at certain moments, but even at these moments the bookmakers rated City as favorites - this says a lot about the degree of City's dominance.

But I have doubts about Tottenham's performance without their captain, Son. Because so far Son's contribution has really been the most for Tottenham. So if Tottenham play without Son it will be quite a big difference. Especially if Maddison hasn't returned. So Tottenham will clearly have difficulty playing against Manchester United.

Maybe we really can't trust Man United this season. Even when they play at home. Everyone still doubts their performance which has been very, very inconsistent this season. This is very different from Spurs, who this season have amazed everyone with their performance. But Tottenham without Maddison has gone into decline. And then they bounced back thanks to Son. But now they will likely compete without Son. So this will clearly really make Spurs fall again. I am now unsure which team will be my favorite in this match.

[Majestic-milf]

Mahrez was actually a junk player in there since he was barely given enough playtime..Maybe for the fact that he's African? Guardiola knows best... But I think having Alvarez and Grealish both paired would improve the effectiveness on the flanks.. it all depends on the formation though - a standard 4-3-3 formation would also link them both, allowing debryune and halland to communicate directly.

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

Mahrez a junk player? Really? I don't think you have sat down and watched Mahrez right from when he was at Leicester City, I means the man was on fire and he also contributed to the success of Leicester lifting the EPL trophy, that was why Pep bought him and he became an effective too for the Citizens.
 The player you called a junk player has a total of 78 goals and 58 assist during his 5yrs at the club and you think he's a junk player? Well you need to go back and watch him, I feel you are saying that because he's an African and you don't want to acknowledge his efforts.
 When you say something about pairing, you made mentioned of Alvarez and Grealish, to me I don't see those two as best to make oppositions feel threatened, if you're talking about best pairing I'd say Doku and Alvarez or Doku and Phil Foden.
 If Pep is starting the front 3 it should be Doku on the left, Alvarez as the striker and Foden on the right flank, these guys have more force that would produce goals in a game than Grealish in that selection.
 To me Grealish is just another player you should be calling a junk player because he likes being fouled, he also kills counter attacks, so I prefer Doku to him and if Mahrez was to be in that City team now I'd prefer him over Grealish. If not for the money I don't think Grealish would still be playing regularly for Man City.

Chelsea dominated the game but squandered a host of chances, with Cole Palmer particularly wasteful. Now Middlesbrough now have a slender advantage ahead of the return meeting at Stamford Bridge, then Chelsea can get the chance to right the wrongs in two weeks when they host the replay. I think Chelsea are even very lucky that the goal difference isn’t much. They will have the chance to put things right in the second leg. If the result of this match doesn't make you want to sign a world-class striker I don't know what will. Honestly, no team will win anything with players who can't finish.

The faith for Chelsea winning the match was datched out by the players who obviously missed alot of chances to make that goal record that could have put Chelsea in the best possible position to have won the match, but with the level of missed chances during the match, it further pushes us to the point to conclude that Chelsea as a club has lost it position as the one-time champions who have delivered and expected to recover asap from the previous crisis that has rocked the club for some time now which have resulted into this current players demotivation.
Many of Chelsea fans have given up on the club's ability to make something good out of this season, and just like the last season, no hope of recovery for the club as it stance right now, Chelsea is gradually losing out, and the speed at which that is happening is quite alarming.

As the performance of the Chelsea team is very erratic. So it is difficult to say when this team will win any match. Chelsea have yet to win against a team like Middlesburg in the EFL Cup. Chelsea's squad is not weak at all. They are strong enough and play well. But Chelsea's match strategy is not good. So the Chelsea team is not able to dominate even against relatively weak teams. Chelsea may try to strengthen their squad in the winter transfer window. But I would say Chelsea need a more experienced coach right now. Unless the coach is experienced, there is very little change in Chelsea's situation.

Chelsea will play against Fulham in the next Premier League match. Fulham team is also relatively weak. Even then, it is not certain whether Chelsea will win.

[Velvet78]

Chelsea are really difficult to understand. How could you manage to be this ineffective at scoring goals while dominating a game? They even lost the game I mean.    They should be thankful that the matchup is comprised of two legs. Otherwise they were already going to say goodbye to the EFL Cup which is probably the only tournament in which they can win the title.

But after watching this performance I don't think they would be able to beat probably Liverpool in the finale. Liverpool will be likely to have Salah back in the squad until the finale of the EFL Cup so Liverpool would be the winner of the cup I think.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochentino really needs to step his games if he wants to continue his job at the club because his tactical approaches since the start of the season haven't actually worked well for him. Yesterday against Middlesbrough, I expected Chelsea to win that game convincingly even when they were playing as the away team because the quality of players in the Chelsea set up is absolutely better than that of their EFL semi final opponents.

The good thing about the result of yesterday for Chelsea is that they have a chance of making up for that poor result by making sure they win Middlesbrough with a better result than that of the home side's result of yesterday and qualify for the final of the competition.
