Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

This weekend Tottenham vs Chelsea. After Totenham lost 3-0 to Crystal Palace were they able to beat Chelsea? It's hard to guess but I think Tottenham should be able to beat chelsea, chelsea have a busy schedule, they just finished playing against Zenit in the UCL. Although I think it's difficult there are still plenty of opportunities. A draw I think would be good enough for Tottenham. The key, they shouldbe kill Lukaku

I think it will be very difficult to stop the movement of Lukaku, Lukaku is a strong player but has agile movements, especially now Tottenham Hotspurs have not been able to playing Son Heung-min and Eric Dier due to injury and also Bergwijn who is still in doubt, considering the number of core players Tottenham Hotspur was injured, I really believe that Chelsea will be able to beat Tottenham Hotspur in that match, especially now that Chelsea are in an on fire condition after successfully defeating Zenit in the Champions League group phase.

I don't think Tottenham can win the match, Chelsea are in-form, they have a squad depth in all the positions on the field, I don't know how Eric Dier will mark and curtsil Lukaku from scoring goals, while Tanganga is on suspension, Son is unavailable to create chances or spaces for Kane to score, Tottenham need to defend and counter attack if they choose to play attacking football all through, they will likely concede many goals that day, thus it's up to Nuno Espirito Santo to field a more defence minded formation though playing at White Hart Lane is an advantage to the host.

If Tottenham won't have Son, they will get trouble with attacking system and will not be able to create pressure on defense system of Chelsea. Other players are good but Son is different. He is at a different level and can make difference.

Lukaku is strong but he can not beat all defenders and all defense system. His failure in the match of Belgium vs Italy in Euro 2020 is example. I don't say bad word for Lukaku but it is fact. Furthermore, it is a match between two teams, not between Lukaku and Tottenham.

Lukaku needs support from his team mate, passing supply from midfielders to score goals.

Football is indeed a teamwork, but now Lukaku has become one of the players who can make a difference in the Chelsea squad, just like Ronaldo at Manchester United.
In my opinion, with Lukaku at least some of the Tottenham Hotspur defenders will try to stop him and of course this will provide an opportunity for other Chelsea players to move freely without getting tight guard from the Tottenham Hotspur defenders, if you look at the chelsea vs liverpool match , You can see if Lukaku continues to be heavily guarded by Liverpool defenders, does that kill the Chelsea forward?
Of course not, that when the harvest got the advantage because it was in a free position to score during the corner kick and he free because you can see that Lukaku was escorted by two Liverpool defenders.

Let's see how the perform at White Hart lane, the Chelsea team is in a good spirit not only winning games but they are keeping clean sheet like never before, scoring Chelsea from an open play is not easy with the tactics of Tuchel and the defensive force right now, Chelsea will definitely get over Tottenham to extend their good runs. Lukaku is not messing around either.

Chelsea is in good form and Lukaku has easily adapted to the team. On the other hand, Tottenham is not in a very good position now. Their performance against Crystal Palace was disgusting. Now if Heung Min Son can't perform against Chelsea in the next match then they will lose against Chelsea as well. Chelsea's defense is very strong. It will not be easy for Harry Kane alone to break through this defense and score a goal. If Min Son is in the team, maybe Tottenham will see a stable gameplay.

To be honest, Lukaku adapts easily everywhere, I noticed it a long time ago, whichever team he was in - he played well from the start. I really didn't like their game against Zenit, it was weak for Chelsea. They might well have led 3-0/4-0, but they ended up winning 1-0... As for Tottenham, the game will probably be more or less calm and equal in strength, and I'm more inclined towards a draw with a "both to score" option.

[BlackViruse]

I was surprised to see that Everton scored 3 goals in just 6 minutes. They scored their first goal in the 60th minute of the match, the second goal in the 65th minute and the third goal in the 66th minute. Excellent three goals, and very good gameplay. It seems that the players have adapted well to their strategy and formation. The Everton team will be able to strengthen themselves in the future if the players can adapt to this formation properly.

Everton we be a force this season under Rafa Benitez the aggressiveness I saw in that game,have not seen it for a long time from previous Everton managers,they show willingness and commitment to win the game,I think Townsend we be a very great addition, that goal was magnificent.with their aggressiveness I forget someone like James was still at that team,they are lot of top players in that team, and the coach believe in the squad that's why he left James out and told him to show more commitment to the club that he wants to play,I think the team is ready to go with the way the start the season

[Spack17]

I was very delighted with Everton's performance and effort against Burnley in their last match which they won 3-1. Burnley scored first but it was just to wake their competitor up immediately. After that, Everton started playing like they waited for this moment before. Their passing was incredibly good. And Townsend's goal was just superb. This guy really likes to score interesting goals sometimes.

Lukaku always try his best to meet up with the game and he shouldn't be blamed for his weak expectations if that is what you are trying to point at. Football is not really that easy so I don't castigate players when they fucked up or when there is lapses. Chelsea is really trying this days to be on top of their game which is very impressive.

except for when he was at manchester united...

the world noticed that he has terrible first touch and control , the memes went wild that time mock him cruelly .
until he put a lot of works and prove everyone wrong at inter , he bring glory to i nerazzurri and chelsea decided to bring him back in quite fair price after failed to putsue haaland.
not a bad decision at all so far.
chelsea latest match is full of error the starting line up seems forcedful that is the main problem i guess , as when jorginho come in along with azpilicueta everything just went fine.

[BlackViruse]

Everyone is saying Chelsea must win,they have Lukaku they are on fire, but you must also understand that Tottenham is a top team also,I think the palace game was a wake up call,Nuno is a hard working man with evidence of his work at Valencia and wolves respectively,talk of more that he has more better player here(spurs). true tangaga saw red and dier injured in that palace game but let's not forget that spurs splash the cash on an experienced and very good defender(Romero) who knows Lukaku very well in their days at the seria A, Sanchez is also coming back to the team for this game,bergwin is fit for the game, the only abseentee is very important son,but  geovani Lo Celso is now back and Ndombelle has clear the air with his new coach so I believe Chelsea is in for a big game

Wow London derby on this week between Tottenham Hotspur Versus Chelsea, I think Chelsea most favorite going on their winning record on this season how ever they have great match almost two game. Win on champion league last night and get three points on last primer league game, Hotspur have play on UEROPE league tonight and give less rest time for them when faced with Chelsea, I think Chelsea have enough time for recovery than Hotspur, Lukaku keep going on with good performance and most favorite to make goal again for Chelsea on this derby. Very interesting match on this weekend and I hope both team could make many goal to make awesome for watching London derby.

Yeah, Lukaku and Ronaldo they are just great. They can adapt to any situation and with any team. I would say Chelsea played well against Zenit. This is a Champions League match, here they have to perform very carefully. If Chelsea was playing attacking, and If Chelsea had conceded a goal in a counter-attack, the match would have been drawn and Chelsea would have lost points. It felt good to me to win 1-0.

[Strongkored]

and I'm more inclined towards a draw with a "both to score" option.

apart defeated from Crystal palace, Tottenham was actually quite good and the won over City at the first match of the season was undeniable that was result of hard work, so I agree with your choice Draw with BTTS as the choice.
City will host Southampton, this season Southampton best result they got is only a draw and playing at the etihad stadium will make it even more difficult for them to get points, City scoring much goal like what they did at UCL match might be happen.

[ILuckyGuyI]

But consistency is the most important thing for them. If they keep up the good work, they can have a big chance and win the title after 9 years.

They will have to find that consistency just as you said because from their last night game (champion league), I can see them disappointing their fans and football lovers more often due to their poor performance. We all thought it is going to be a work in the park as Young boys are not a tough opponent but they played badly. Ronaldo alone can ni do it, he is not that young CR7 we saw that can carry the team on his back by himself, he'll need others to set up their game if they want to go far this season.

With CR7, the goals are guaranteed but the defenders need to improve and so should other departments as well. It will just be a waste if he score and the opponents keep equalizing back as that will cost them games this season

When it comes to the defenders, they actually have signed Raphael Varane in the last transfer window. It is a really big addition to the defense line. However, it would be good to have a strong companion for him. By adding another powerful defender, they will get stronger in defense. They are very good in midfield and attacking. Ronaldo vitalized their scoring ability even more.

An online sports platform opened a poll to decide EPL player of the week(for week 4)
Below are the players that made the list;
 
a. Edouard Mendy (Chelsea)
 
b. Conor Gallagher (Crystal Palace)

c. Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)
 
My vote:
I gave it to Mendy for making impressive six saves. Also, Ronaldo got brace and made the list, therefore Lukaku should be there, or do you think Ronaldo in anyway outperformed Lukaku over the weekend?

Maybe I'll let you in on a secret, but even now they're making memes about it)
Recently a video became very "popular", when he was standing in the penalty area, someone from Inter decided to shoot at the goal and hit him in the head, although the ball was flying into the goal..... And he became indignant shouting something to that player, although it was a potential goal, I would even say 100% goal. Maybe Romeu is just getting old, I don't know, but to me he is a very good and strong player at the moment. Why is he getting older? He's gotten slower or something like that.

[Luzin]

My vote:

It's hard to compare if they are in different positions. I think they will prefer to choose by position category. But if only this option I would choose C.Ronaldo. My reason was because he was cohesive and immediately scored 2 goals. In addition, because he is not young anymore, but can play great. Maybe Bruno Fernandes can be another player of choice, he is performing well and being the top scorer in the EPL

Tottenham's defeat to Leeds was indeed a motivation for them to rise and the result was able to beat City as the team that won the previous year.  However, for their next match, the consistency of this team is highly expected in winning trophies.  How Tottenham determine the best tactics and strategies to get better.  The next match will not be easy because it will be against Chelsea, which until now has a very stable performance and is one of the best top teams besides City.
