Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[pusaka]

You are right, in fact we doubt Manchester City can compete for the champion candidates this season but  Manchester City can prove its ability after playing with a complete squad and this week Manchester City will be at the top of the standings after defeating Everton on February 18. If Manchester City keep playing with the current squad then they can win again this season, the only main competitor for Manchester City is Liverpool while Liverpool lost in the last fight, Manchester City can take advantage of it.

I think City will be champions this season. The deciding match will be against Liverpool in March. I bet City will win the EPL competition this season. Their performance is very good and we can see that with the recovery of Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne, City will be very strong. I hope City will return with a complete squad in the match against Everton later.

You could say this decade is the heyday of Manchester City in the Premier League, they were able to prove with their promising premainan. They won consecutive championships and this season their chances are very big to be able to continue their record of winning the Premier League.
Manchester City have a very strong foundation, that's the key. So when they slipped then quickly they can also rise. One of them is this season, initially they also slipped several times, but they were slowly able to find their true form so that it made them able to return to the competition for the title.

I will not blame Mauricio Pochettino for what is happening to Chelsea now.
Chelsea management has recruited a lot of players who are not qualified but the prices are quite expensive and that is the cause of the poor performance of the Chelsea team at the moment.

In terms of quality, Chelsea is a little better than Crystal Palace, but what is happening in the current team is completely different and Chelsea is really so bad that nothing can be expected from them.
Honestly, I doubt Chelsea this season.

He is quite responsible for Chelsea's poor performance and in fact there are no bad players but rather coaches who are unable to utilize their skills.
If you don't believe it, look at how Jurgen Klopp makes players who don't have good skills become more dangerous in his squad.
Before facing Crystal Palace, I witnessed Chelsea's quite solid performance when they faced Aston Villa in the FA Cup and they managed to beat them with quite a landslide score.
Can this positive trend continue when they face Crystal Palace because perhaps the tension of the game in the Premier League is a little different from the FA Cup competition.

Comparing Pochettino with Jurgen will be very different in terms of quality, even though Pochettino still cannot match what Klopp has. I know this will be a disappointment for Chelsea fans who want their club to improve. But in this case Pochettino decision in choosing players was very bad and even seemed inappropriate. Even though Chelsea's budget is large enough to recruit expensive players. However, Pochettino did not take advantage of this opportunity well. Meanwhile, Klopp's financial support is very minimal because Liverpool's owner is too stingy, but because Klopp has self-confidence and is right in choosing players even in limited conditions, he is able to maximize results. This season I hope Chelsea will learn important lessons, especially for owners who don't understand football. Todd Boehly also needs to be blamed for Chelsea poor performance.

Sometimes I begin to wonder if it's really pochetino that's really in charge of deciding the players he wants to have in his Chelsea squad or it is owner who just go about and buy whatever players he see that's available in the market. The kind of players that were recruited into the Chelsea team are majorly players who haven't made names and this is affecting them right now.

[Polkeins]

FA Cup is far for Chelsea to reach to the final match and it is not important for them too. They must focus on Premier League and try to climb up as highest as possible. Possibly if they can finish this season within top six, it will be a confident foundation for them in a next season when they will aim at top four. Having a position in top four and being eligible for Champions League is like a mandatory condition for a big club.

I don’t see any chance for Chelsea to rise significantly above the middle of the table in the Premier League and I also think that they no have a chance of reaching the FA Cup final, this will be another disastrous season in which it would be worth thinking about the next season, but for this they need to strengthen the team, and I'm not sure that this will happen now. Pochetinno's best times were at Tottenham, after which he was unable to achieve anything significant.

I think Pocchetino's task is not to fall below 8th place in the table, and anything above that can already be recognized as a success for Chelsea.

It is clear that in the EPL Chelsea is not waiting for anything good, so they can just focus on the cup and it is in the cup Chelsea plays more confident. Maybe because the players do not feel such pressure for the result as in the EPL, but in the cup Chelsea plays much better and more interesting, scoring 3-4 goals and different and from standards and from the game.

There is no sense to fire Pocchetino before the end of the season, the team should spend at least a year without personnel changes and see what happens. 

[HajiBagi]

It seems chelsea was focusing on the carabao cup and fa cup. The team may be knowing that if they have no chance anymore in the EPL caused by the bad performance from chelsea. Well, that's amazing this one is winning with huge margin against aston villa. It was amazing performance from chelsea.
I was feeling chelsea might be losing in the game against aston villa but i was wrong. Chelsea was able showing more consistency in this game started from playing defensively combined with attacking at the same time.

Aston Villa is no longer a black horse in this season, their performance declines, it's why they lost their position from 2nd to 4th. If Aston Villa can lose against Chelsea, I believe they will lose against Manchester United too, Manchester United already improve a lot.

What I'm amaze is the third goal by Enzo, it might be the best free kick in this season.

Since we all know how good Aston Villa is, I must admit that I didn't think Chelsea would play as well as they did yesterday. I was expecting Chelsea to make a mistake and let Aston Villa win, but Chelsea surprised me by defeating Aston Villa with three goals. The last time Chelsea played, Liverpool defeated Chelsea by a wide margin, making Chelsea appear like a small team. However, yesterday's game also demonstrated that if Chelsea always takes their matches seriously, they will be able to defeat many teams and be in a good position.

The goal that Enzo scored is the best of the month; the free kick was well-played; in fact, since he plays for Chelsea, he hasn't scored goals like that before. The goalie for Aston Villa is good, but the way Chelsea scored those goals yesterday will be like a nightmare for him. The only issue I have with Chelsea is that, on occasion, they play like a team in good condition, and if they play sometimes  even the fans will get upset.

[8rch7]

In the FA Cup and in the EFL Cup we can always see Chelsea playing very well and full of confidence. But somehow the Chelsea players seem to have lost confidence when playing in the Premier League. But in this case, I personally can't just blame one party. Because I think everyone has their own role and everyone must be responsible. Coaches are tasked with providing good strategies and coaching for players. And players must be able to carry out strategies on the field well and must minimize mistakes when playing on the field. And Chelsea actually has potential young players. Now it's just a matter of how Pochettino can make these players more confident when playing in the Premier League. Because the pressure is heavier in the Premier League, perhaps this means these players cannot play at their maximum performance.

Chelsea's players loss their confidence on Premier League matches and difficult for winning every week matches, losses from unpredictable teams such as last week have loss against Wolves. Currently in EFL Cup not seems special achievement by Chelsea because most teams eliminated is not top team from second round until semifinal round. Chelsea will face Liverpool in the EFL Cup final but not sure they are on the top confidence for defeating Liverpool and become the winner.

Some time has youth players more dominance in the starting eleven can't help more, they less winning mentality and here need experience players could be motivate for young player how to get confidence performance exactly on the loss position match. Chelsea opportunity with Premier League have been over with many matches left, get mission impossible for raising top fourth standings position and I think in this season reach the UEFA Europe League spot place is good achievement by Chelsea.

I will not blame Mauricio Pochettino for what is happening to Chelsea now.
Chelsea management has recruited a lot of players who are not qualified but the prices are quite expensive and that is the cause of the poor performance of the Chelsea team at the moment.

In terms of quality, Chelsea is a little better than Crystal Palace, but what is happening in the current team is completely different and Chelsea is really so bad that nothing can be expected from them.
Honestly, I doubt Chelsea this season.

Pochettino deserves all the blame, in my opinion, for their poor Premier League performance. Despite the fact that they signed the youngest players, they are still performing worse than they did the previous year. Chelsea has been moving up and down the league table since the previous season, so I don't even understand the way they played this season. At times, they won, and at other times, they lost. The way Chelsea performed against Aston Villa was really amazing, if they play that well in their next games, I think they can even qualify for the Europa League, at least, because I don't think they can beat the clubs that are presently in the top four.

Chelsea is playing Crystal Palace, since Chelsea won their first meeting, I think Chelsea is in better shape than Crystal Palace. I still think Chelsea will win their second game. Though Chelsea can still lose game that's part of their style this season. I have serious doubts about them. Now is a perfect time for Pochettino to get back to his winning ways.

At the moment when we talk about Chelsea actually blaming coaches or players is not the right choice and indeed things like this have to be realized by everyone including Chelsea officials because after all for now what they need is encouragement to continue to be able to improve themselves so that the club is even better.
This is only the first season for Poche and with everything new including for players and the overhaul that was carried out we actually still have to wait because not all new things can immediately clash in terms of cooperation and chemistry so they still have to continue to try to be patient because everything of course must have a process and what Poche is doing now is making progress so that their future is better.
Todd must realize that if this season Chelsea is only going slowly and he should not intervene as long as the performance is not worse than last season then I think it is still very good because the progress is going well later.

[rendravolt]

Still can't believe Aston Villa were so humiliated by Chelsea in the FA Cup competition last night and it was even a home defeat for Aston Villa with a score of 1-3. Aston Villa performed so badly and they couldn't live up to the public's expectations when facing an inconsistent team like Chelsea. They had lost and were only able to get one goal back in the last minute through Diaby.

On the other hand, Pochettino has proven his capacity after getting support from Chelsea owners and this victory is very special after their poor performance in the EPL. The goal scored by Enzo Fernandez was also outstanding and it was a very good free kick curled over the edge from Emi Martinez. Next, Chelsea will play Leeds in the quarterfinals and that will be further proof that they are still on track to win at least one title this season.

Yes, it won't affect anything by changing the coach for now before the end of the season, after all why do most people always think it's easy to change coaches so quickly, do they never believe in the process, after all Pocchetino needs time to make Chelsea better from their downturn even though in EPL they are ranked 11th but in other league championships they play very well. It is indeed difficult to be consistent and divide your time from a busy match schedule, I believe in the process and ability of Pocchetino, the results are not yet visible at this time, at least wait until the end of the season

Whether he is able to boost Chelsea's position in the top 10 or not, if he is successful maybe he needs to be given a few more seasons to find the right game for his team, so far Pocchetino has been quite right with Chelsea, it just takes time to see. the result of that long process, I'm not a Chelsea fan but I think changing coaches is not a good way to see the development of a club. especially since the coach hasn't coached several seasons, that's impossible.

[Inwestour]

Don't interfere so that the result doesn't get worse?

This is perhaps the worst strategy an owner can take for his club. Todd must decide everything together with Pochettino, and it is foolish to hope that the results can change on their own. Pochettino is not a magician and he will not change the team without funding, which only the owner can approve.

After Abramovich sold Chelsea, everything changed for the club, and perhaps spoiled fans will have to reduce their appetites, now Chelsea will be the middle peasant of the Premier League, at least if Todd does not decide to spend big money on new transfers.

to be honest it's unrealistic to expect a newly formed young team to be consistently strong. Occasionally, they'll show up with performances like today's against Aston Villa. If they approach every game with the same level of seriousness, they'll become a formidable team to compete against. Villa Park hasn't been welcoming to away teams this season, that's for sure!

Congratulations to Chelsea. I wouldn't say Aston Villa had a bad day; rather, Chelsea performed well.

Aston Villa is Aston Villa, it's really a big joke some people thinks they might able to become a champion in this season. Right now Aston Villa can only win against small team and lose against big team, the upcoming match they will face Manchester United, the most popular team in Premier League.

So this will be an easy match for Manchester United.

Aston Villa's performance in the FA Cup is very different from Aston Villa's performance in the Premier League. Aston Villa can be said to be quite consistent in the Premier League, even though the last few matches have not always ended in victory, Aston Villa can still be said to be a strong team in the Premier League. But in the FA Cup it seems that Aston Villa is not so strong. And on the contrary, it is Chelsea who have an improved quality of play in the FA Cup compared to the Premier League. That's why I rarely bet on FA Cup matches. Because strong teams in the EPL can sometimes be difficult to predict in the FA Cup. And it doesn't only happen this season, but things like this usually happen every season.

Though Chelsea can still lose game that's part of their style this season. I have serious doubts about them. Now is a perfect time for Pochettino to get back to his winning ways.

Ever since the new management took over Chelsea from Abrahamovic, Chelsea has never be able to represent the Chelsea that we use to know, and this is because of poor management and poor vision from the club. Imagine big Chelsea is signing bunch of players that do not have any big name and their presence in matches cannot even make their opponents to panic and get scared. Some players in Chelsea currently were not performing well in their previous clubs, and how do you these set of players to perform wonders.

Chelsea players and the coach cannot move the club forward to be among the top four in EPL, and if replacement are not made fast the club will suffer for many years. This is because they don't even understand what strategy that they will use to win games, and the players lack experience. A young player is good for a club, but let it be a player with big name and great experience, so that they can win trophies for the club over a long period of time. Chelsea might no longer be among the big four in England anymore.

Seeing the Aston Villa match against Chelsea was very stunning in my opinion, where Chelsea had a disciplined match both in defense and attack, the defense against Aston Villa was much tighter and more solid, this was an extraordinary match for Chelsea, especially the free kick by Enzo was very cool in my opinion.

Most likely Aston Villa lost the match because Manchester United is in good progress lately and they managed to consistently not lose any more points, while Aston villa lost its consistency in the last five matches.

Aston Villa performed so badly and they couldn't live up to the public's expectations when facing an inconsistent team like Chelsea.

Aston Villa's loss against Chelsea was unexpected to everyone, but Chelsea have it in their culture to win against teams that are stronger than them. Although we know that Aston Villa's performance in the FA Cup competition was much better than that of Chelsea, you can’t even think that a team like Chelsea will knock them out with even three goals. It was very unexpected.

That aside, it is what usually happens in games. Now, what we are focusing on is whether Chelsea can win Leeds United and make it to the quarterfinals to face Manchester United, because I am sure that Manchester United will definitely win Nottingham Forest because their performance is not even comparable to that of Manchester United. I know it will be very hard for Chelsea to win Leeds United, but they might surprise us as they did to Aston Villa, so Chelsea has to prove that they shouldn’t be downgraded. That is why they keep surprising us most of the time, so I will say congratulations to Chelsea for their success in making it to the round of the last 16 and I hope they should make it even if it is to the semi finals.

It is very natural that now many people are starting to think that Aston Villa is a strong team after seeing Aston Villa which also rose to 2nd place this season and slowly fell back to 4th place. And this really shows that Aston Villa this season is indeed quite good and cannot underestimated. In the match against Man United, I was still confused about which team should be my favourite. Because even though Man United is starting to look better. But still this team is a team that has been inconsistent since the start of the season. And they could get worse again and lose. But Aston Villa has not actually been the favorite team since the start of the season. but in the middle of the season Aston Villa surprised everyone by competing at the top of the rankings. Well, basically what I mean is that the Aston Villa vs Man United match is actually very difficult to predict.

Wait a minute, it might be true that Aston Villa will never be able to compete to win the EPL title this season but them being able to break into the top 4 is an achievement they have been longing for for a long time. Aston Villa have not only beaten small teams but they have also beaten Manchester City and Arsenal this season, so they deserve it if there are some people who favor them to win the title but I am not on that list of people.

If we talk about the upcoming match between Aston Villa and Manchester United, actually in the first round meeting we already got the answer. At that time Manchester United won with a score of 3-2 and maybe in this week's match the Red Devils will still beat Aston Villa with the same narrow score. Moreover, if you look at the recent performance of the two teams, Manchester United is slightly above Aston Villa and we can see that Manchester United will be the next team that can beat Aston Villa.

When a team is trying to survive and looking out for things that work for them, the day they make a normal performance, it becomes like a magic to everyone. If not that the season has isn't how it use to be, Aston Villa will not confront Chelsea and want to go down on them that easily but because it's now a normal thing for the team to lose consistently, we get surprised when they do normal performance in matches, Aston Villa is normal team Chelsea can trash any time.

Not Pochettino but the players are the ones that gave beautiful impression in that match, look at Enzo for instance. Since he was acquired by Graham Potter after his beautiful performing in the world cup, I have seen anything good from him, just jumping from one match to another but yesterday goal is like what I have seen from him after a long time and the club, I want to see that improves in EPL and not just FA cup.

An unexpected incident was that Aston Villa lost 3-1 against Chelsea at home and this was very embarrassing and what is certain is that many Aston Villa fans when watching the live broadcast at the Villa Park stadium felt sad and disappointed with the defeat. suffered by Aston Villa. The supporters certainly really hoped that their proud team could win and produce lots of goals, but the opposite happened.
It is true that what is said is that Aston Villa is an opponent that is difficult to beat for lower level clubs so that when they compete, Aston Villa is the one who often wins, but not for a club that is as familiar as today's match. Against Chelsea, Aston Villa has not been able to keep up. The Chelsea players are playing and have not been able to break down the Chelsea squad's defense and it is evident that Aston Villa still needs better and maximum training starting today's match.
And this is of course a source of pride for Chelsea because they were able to win and humiliate Aston Villa at home, and that was not the only victory in this match. Chelsea is also proud because their team will advance again in the fifth match of the season against the Leeds United squad.
