Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

"It was the first time, that was audibly clear, that Chelsea supporters had chanted directly about Mauricio Pochettino"

Chelsea fans are no longer keen to see Pochettino as coach. Chelsea management is not getting the expected results despite changing the coach several times. Chelsea management should definitely hire an experienced coach. But before that they must give the coach complete freedom to build his squad. I think the Chelsea management does not allow the coach to work independently. And that's why Chelsea's form has been poor for the last few seasons. Chelsea are now considered an average team in the Premier League.

Chelsea failed to win against Brentford. The match was drawn 2-2. But I watched the match. I don't think Chelsea's performance was too bad. Gradually the team is improving. Chelsea dominated the match with 69% ball possession. But they have several wrong hairs. Pochettino will definitely need to strengthen Chelsea's defence. It is very difficult to perform well in the Premier League if the defense is not strong.

Pochettino never learned from his mistakes. I can also breakdown which mistakes that keep repeated by him anytime. The biggest mistake was doing stupid subs that killed the gameplay of chelsea. So many times i have seen that poch's subs rarely gave good result. This is also making the situation even worst for him.

you are right It's true that Pochettino has plenty of mistakes. He cannot replace players properly. However, Chelsea's squad needs to be strengthened a bit more. In particular, they need to strengthen their attack. And a striker should be included in the squad who will be able to consistently perform well and be able to score goals. If not, we will not see a better performance from Chelsea.

I ahve seen that how chelsea fans chanted poch fuck off and that's it. I can understand it since chelsea has been declining so hard compared to the when abramovich was still the boss. I will mention some mistakes made by pochettino in so many matches, it's started with wrongly putting player in their non actual position, using the player that performs so badly as starting line up, wrongly doing subs that was also affecting the performance from the club during the middle game and many more. Seeing pochettino got chanted by the fans to fuck off from the club is nothing special.

Chelsea coach Pochettino did not learn from the mistakes of the previous matches. He makes the same mistakes almost every match. I would say this is Pochettino's weakness. PSG had a lot of star players. He was also unsuccessful with PSG. PSG can't do well in the Champions League despite having a strong squad. Chelsea's problems were much the same as PSG's. Despite having many star players in the squad, the team could not do well. Chelsea management should not give Pochettino the job of Chelsea coach. While Pochettino is an excellent coach for mid-level clubs, he is not a good coach for big clubs like Chelsea and PSG.

It's caused by the fans are feeling so upset with the performance from chelsea. Fans would not do that if chelsea was getting good results. Chelsea is now in another disaster caused by the club keeps get bad result in EPL. The performance from chelsea has been dropping a lot when it was facing the defensive club.
it likes the defensive strategy became the main weakness owned by chelsea. The performance from the club needs to be even better caused by chelsea must able to get more points to climb up.

Chelsea management should now give Pochettino complete freedom and build a squad as he sees fit. Or sack Pochettino and find a new coach. But the new coach must be given full freedom. Chelsea's performance is not likely to improve if the management interferes with the coach's decisions.

I'm surprised Manchester Citizen managed only 2 attacks and one attack success. Because this season Manchester United team is in the sixth place in the points table and Manchester City team is in the second place in the points table. So there is a huge gap between these two teams yet Manchester United managed to score a goal early on, so far in the match Manchester City have 74% of the ball and the remaining 26% of the ball is under the control of Manchester United. Manchester City are always on the attack at the moment and are more likely to score at any time.

Considering the performance of the two teams, Manchester City is in the better position to win but this is a derby match and the teams are familiar with each other so this means for City to Win United they need to do more than they have done in this game regardless of their possessions and ball controls getting a goal to come back in this game should be their number one priority for now.

The Erik Ten hag men were lucky to get a quick goal from Rashford and they have managed to keep the pressure down even as City has been asking countless questions but United defenders has not really given up as they keep pushing them back. One goal in favour of United after first half hopefully United can manage to keep the one goal until 90 minutes.

[Palakka]

As far as the first half looks like Manchester City dominated the match after missing a goal created by Rashford in the 8th minute, throughout the match Manchester United realized that Manchester City had an aggressive attack and it was proven by the number of 22 shots that Manchester City players were able to make throughout the first half,  That is may be the reason Ten Hag prefers counter-attacks as the main weapon, the first round of the match really surprised many people and even Manchester United fans themselves will be surprised to see if their team can win today .

In the second half I think ten Hag will optimise their players more to defend complete to secure a one-goal lead a have big risk.
Btw did you see any wasted chances by Haaland when the odds of a goal were 99.9%?
I thought Haaland would play for Manchester City today but it turns out that by throwing away the opportunity he deserves to replace Maguire at Manchester United .

Breaking news :

Currently Manchester City managed to equalize the score through Foden in the 56th minute and make the score a 1-1 draw for the time being, I think Ten Hag should rack his brains to at least get 1 point today.

[Litzki1990]

Manchester United started really well and the early goal has given them some confidence in the game. Haaland has not really been in this game, the only good chance that has come for Manchester City is from Foden's opportunity that was saved by the Manchester United goalkeeper. Manchester United should try to get another goal in the first half before the Manchester City coach will have the chance to work his magic in the halftime. If Manchester City fail to win this game, it will give Arsenal the advantage to take tomorrow.

Manchester United were lucky to open the scoring in this match, but now I see how they are making a mistake, that their game comes down to defense so early. And Manchester United defenders allow a lot of shots on their goal, in such a situation it seems that City will achieve their goal and will soon score a goal. They cannot lose now, any loss of points will give Liverpool and Arsenal an advantage. It would be good to equalize the score in the first half, but if they postpone this task until the second half, it may be more difficult.

Today's match between Manchester United vs Manchester City is going on so far where almost 60 minutes of the game have passed so far and in these 60 minutes both teams have managed to score one goal so far. Manchester United took an early lead against Manchester City and the Red Devils ended the first half with that goal. United took the lead in the first half but P. Foden equalized with a goal for Manchester City early in the second half. The game has been tied at 1-1 so far.

Manchester United are now counter attacking as well as playing a lot of defense but Manchester City are trying to score. We are still waiting for Manchester City to beat Manchester United in this period as there is still a lot of time left.

[Frankolala]

Manchester City created first two opportunities but Manchester United just scored a goal by Bruno Fernandes's assist and a shot from Rashford.

Manchester United of course started very well with that early lead, it has helped them so far to gain some momentum and put Manchester City of balance a bit, however Manchester City haven't been relentless, they've been firing from all cylinders and making sure that they try to equalize the game, though the first half has ended 1-0 in favour of United but I'm seeing more trouble for Manchester United if they don't double the goal in the second half. on the 44th minute, Haaland almost equalize the game if not for the fact that he played the ball over the bar, and the citizens missed a whole lot of several chances, they were literally playing Manchester United half field before the end of the first half, onana too have really been helpful to united with his saves.

Foden has scored equalized the goal with an early goal on the 58th minutes to balance the score line. It was a marvelous finish from Foden, as he took a powerful shot to the left side of the post. City will be able to win this match, because United will not be able to withstand their pressure.

Rashford is the worst player so far in this second half, even though he was the one that opened the score line. He should be substituted, because it was his laxity that lead to the equalizer. Rashford keeps falling down on the pitch even when he is not being fouled. The fact remains that City is far better than United in this match and in their overall performance in the league.

[Justbillywitt]

Exactly, I don't think that United will be able to withstand the pressure that City is mounting on them in the second half, because there will be substitions and that might put a difference in the game for City, so that they will be able to break the deadlock. United is very lucky in the first half.

The second half of the match has started and Manchester City just equalised in the second half of the match. The pressure is kind of high on Manchester United. I am still expecting more goals from Manchester City in the match. The only luck that Manchester United had was the goal that they scored in the first half of the match. I am still having confidence in Manchester City to win the match. We are just in 60+ minutes. Let’s see how the two clubs are going to perform, but I know Manchester City will want to do everything possible to win the match because they will want to maintain their second position.

It has been a spectacular game between Manchester United and Manchester United. Manchester United got an early goal which made them to sit back deep in their own half. But Manchester United has not really been that convincing since scoring that goal. Manchester City has been pressing them so high in this game. The way Manchester United is playing looks like they will be comfortable with a draw in this game, but I don't think Manchester City will allow that.

[Amphenomenon]

Maybe Pochettino will be retained until the end of the season because even if by changing the new coach it will not change Chelsea's situation because their position is too far away to get tickets to European competition and after this season ends maybe Chelsea will do a lot of reshuffling then this is not a little money that Chelsea must provide.

I don't think this will be so, the fans wasn't keeping calm about him being fired in yesterday match.
He is too strategically backwards no improvement from him since, every other top coach as a sense of creativity but his own is subpar to be Frank. Let the guy be sack now at least maybe we can win the Fa Cup

We are having a different Manchester United team playing against the beast Man City but let's see if they can hold up till the end with a draw since Foden just equalised with a wonderful shot outside the box but Onana has been excellent so far

[Ruttoshi]

What a pity for United as they conceded 3 goals in the second half. It was clear from the first half that City will win the match due to the way they were mounting pressure in United box. I don't know whose fault is this, maybe it is the fault of the coach or United players who are not playing the game as if they have legs or know what to play.

Foden scored two goals, and Haaland wrapped it up with a brilliant goal on the 90+1 minutes to make it 3-1. City has gained all three point, and this is a success for them to continue the title race, with hope of winning it.

Haaland buried United's hopes for a draw, now Manchester City can safely put 3 more points in the table.

In general, another nightmare match for United, which started not so bad and it seemed that there was a chance for a draw, but Foden's double put everything in its place and it is clear why City is in second place in the standings, and United is only sixth and I think even Chelsea is playing better than United.
To be honest, it's amazing how Manchester United are playing, they seem to be afraid of City and play like a team that is in last place in the standings, players are afraid to take the initiative, players on the sideline can't get the ball to the center, everyone is playing in defense and no one wants to go on the attack.

[CryptoBuds]

We have to say that Aston Villa were very lucky today. Otherwise, the team could not have achieved 3 points.

After Aston Villa's brilliant first half performance we thought the team was going to win today's match by a big margin. Aston Villa dominated the first half and led 2-0. On the other hand, the opponent Luton Town players are not able to attack well. However, Aston Villa's performance deteriorated badly in the second half. In the second half we only saw the dominance of Luton Town players. The team played defensive strategy in the second half. That was Aston Villa's big mistake. However, Aston Villa won thanks to Lucas Digne's goal in the 89th minute. Aston Villa's coach should learn from the mistakes of today's match.

I don't think Aston Villa is lucky. If Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski does not play excellently, Aston Villa may have ended up with more wins, as he made many excellent saves, including a flying save from Morgan Rogers' perfect curler. The lucky thing probably came from the two substitute players, Moussa Diaby and Lucas Digne, who only spent 10 minutes on the field to bring home the score-setting goal for Aston Villa. Anyway, it's commendable for Luton. They rose strongly in the second half. Luton pressed the away team, and it only took them 6 minutes to score two goals.

This victory helps Aston Villa strengthen its participation in the Champions League. The Top 4 Premier League race currently has 3 candidates: Aston Villa, Tottenham, and Man Utd. In particular, coach Ten Hag's army is in the worst position when the gap is widened by the two teams ranked above, Aston Villa and Tottenham.

I call Aston Villa lucky because they won despite their poor performance in the second half. There is no doubt that Aston Villa's players performed brilliantly in the first half. But the performances of Villa's players declined in the second half. Even then, the team managed to win with a last-minute goal. Aston Villa's coach should be more aware of changing his match tactics. Otherwise, Aston Villa will not be able to score points against the big teams.

I'd say Tottenham and Aston Villa are fighting for fourth place in the table. Manchester United's performance has been very poor and erratic. Manchester United lost 3-1 against Manchester City in today's match. Manchester United is 11 points behind Aston Villa.

Nunes saved Liverpool right at the bell, I am sure that City would have taken the leadership in that situation. I think Klopp is trying something before he leaves, and he is aware that leaving with another premier league title would be so awesome for him. Think about it, leaving at the top when you are crowned the champion would be so epic for him, whenever he wants to come back, I am sure any team would accept him. Not that he will come back to premier league, he started that he won't do that but it is still a great achievement.

I can see that they may actually do it, they are doing very well and I am guessing there aren't that many teams that they can't beat, so if they do well, they may get the win for sure.

[boltz]

For a moment I really believed that United will actually win the game with just 1 shot towards the goalie but as soon as 2nd half started , City was on a rampage looking to actually demolish this United team for playing a false football. Now , the pressure moved on Arsenal to win and remain alongside Liverpool and City for EPL title fight.

Even when Manchester United scored their first goal and held on to win the first half. I never believed that they were going to win the game. I know pep will make the necessary changes to balance the game and win. United are a team I don't understand their pattern of play and today really showed that the team is finished. ETH cannot revive Manchester United judging by his performance so far, I think it's time Manchester United show him the exit door.

Still, we must admit that Aston Villa played better and deserved this victory, here rather Luton are real fighters in every match give 100% and fight until the end of the match, but the players Aston Villa have a higher class, which in the end and predetermined the outcome of the match.

Nevertheless, I think that Emery deserved this victory, the progress that Aston Villa and individual players like Watkins or Bailey just fantastic. Before Emery's arrival, even the biggest fans could not think that Aston Villa would be in a fight with Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal for prizes. Emery has made Aston Villa practically a top club.

[marcous]

The Etihad atmosphere made Ten Hag fleet look depressed, even though they had momentum thanks to Rashford goal at the start of the first half. I think City win today went as most bettors predicted, and United are on another two-game losing streak. In fact, I think the match was very entertaining, even though United didn't seem to have many chances to score goals.

City front line now looks sharp again with 3 goals scored against United, Foden deserves to be named man of the match. On the other hand, Ten Hag is now under great pressure again, and he has failed to bring his fleet close to the Champions League zone. The point gap with Tottenham is now getting wider, it is fitting that Ten Hag should leave Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, we just have to wait and see what happens to Arsenal when they face Sheffield United tomorrow. Liverpool and City have managed to secure full points and are competing closely at the top of the standings, if Arsenal stumble then last season history will repeat itself. On paper, this is an easy match for Arsenal, because Sheffield United is the bottom team in the EPL at the moment.

[Iroh]

Manchester United leading Man City at the break of the first half is some unexpected result especially after that City performance against Luton, and them getting the early lead is something didn't really see could happen with United's shaky form...And Rashford getting a goal against the citizens is definitely a confidence booster that he so needed at the moment to silence his critics!!

And with the second half coming, am thinking  that's the real test to see if the boys can be disciplined at the back to avoid any clumsy fouls and the alike, otherwise GG United

The first half lead Manchester United had didn’t give me much hope as the opponent they were facing weren’t a small team.
Rashford scoring a goal made me happy as I like the player and hope he does score more goals. But the first half lead quickly turned around as the second half saw Manchester City waking up and scoring three goals to help give them the victory. I had hoped Man United would hold on and hopefully score more goals to increase their lead but that wasn’t to be.

I didn’t have high hopes of Man United having the win and I really wasn’t disappointed when they lost the game.

[Docnaster]

Let’s see how the two clubs are going to perform, but I know Manchester City will want to do everything possible to win the match because they will want to maintain their second position.

It has been a spectacular game between Manchester United and Manchester United. Manchester United got an early goal which made them to sit back deep in their own half.

What a pity for United as they conceded 3 goals in the second half. It was clear from the first half that City will win the match due to the way they were mounting pressure in United box.

Foden scored two goals, and Haaland wrapped it up with a brilliant goal on the 90+1 minutes to make it 3-1.

As far as I'm concerned, Manchester United is no longer a top English Premier League club again and considering their second half performance in their league game against Manchester City this evening, I don't think there's anyone who'll disagree with my opinion about the red devils. After Marcus Rashford scored in the 8th minute of the game, I was of the opinion that Manchester United are going to get something out of the match but like did I know that they were going to be absolutely awful in the second of such a crucial game. I don't know what Erik ten Hag told his boys at halftime but I'm sure that it's either he failed to give them the best tactical advice going into the second half of the game or the club players simply failed to do what they were told at halftime.

Manchester City dominated the second half and played more like a team who really needed all three points from the game but how Manchester United allowed Pep Guardiola's City to press them like an average team was totally embarrassing for a big traditional club like United. Before today's game, I was of the opinion that Manchester United were finally on the right track to finish the season in the top four but after today's results, I  now think their best finish in the league this season will be finishing in the sixth position of the English Premier League table.

With the win today, Manchester City have reduced their points difference behind league leaders Liverpool to just one point and have increased their chances of overtaking the Reds in the English Premier League table later on this season. Arsenal who are also very much in contention to win the English Premier League table this season must win their game tomorrow to still remain in the race.

[Stable090]

What a pity for United as they conceded 3 goals in the second half. It was clear from the first half that City will win the match due to the way they were mounting pressure in United box. I don't know whose fault is this, maybe it is the fault of the coach or United players who are not playing the game as if they have legs or know what to play.

I am not surprised by the result of the match, even after Manchester United scored their goal in the first half of the match, I was not really moved because I knew Manchester City would end up winning the match. Manchester City will do everything to win matches like this, they are desperate to win the Premier League this season, and if they can lose any match, their chances of winning the league will drop dramatically, so they won’t want that to happen. And also, with the current Manchester United squad, I know they can’t compete with Manchester City.

Foden scored two goals, and Haaland wrapped it up with a brilliant goal on the 90+1 minutes to make it 3-1. City has gained all three point, and this is a success for them to continue the title race, with hope of winning it.

Foden's first goal was just nice, I never expected him to play the ball from that angle. Foden played well in the match, he was able to score two goals for Manchester City today, which is really nice because Manchester City really needed the two goals that he scored in the match.

[Nheer]

For a moment I really believed that United will actually win the game with just 1 shot towards the goalie but as soon as 2nd half started , City was on a rampage looking to actually demolish this United team for playing a false football. Now , the pressure moved on Arsenal to win and remain alongside Liverpool and City for EPL title fight.  

Very disappointing performance from Manchester United, i also thought they could win the match because i missed the first 20 minutes and after seeing Manchester United take an early lead i thought they were playing well and rushed out to watch the match and i was disappointed with the way they were playing, they lacked confidence with the ball and lost almost every ball at their feet. From seeing their performance i just knew they couldn’t win the game anymore, if Manchester City sees too much of the ball they will keep pressing and pressing until they get  the goal and that was what happened in the second half.

Excellent first goal from Foden, he gave the keeper no chance. Foden was excellent in the match, he scored two goals again and he is like a nightmare for United’s defenders. Haaland was also able to increase his goal tally as he scored the last goal from a defensive error. It was a brilliant overall performance from Manchester City they played well and deserved to win.

[Belarge]

The first half lead Manchester United had didn’t give me much hope as the opponent they were facing weren’t a small team.
Rashford scoring a goal made me happy as I like the player and hope he does score more goals. But the first half lead quickly turned around as the second half saw Manchester City waking up and scoring three goals to help give them the victory. I had hoped Man United would hold on and hopefully score more goals to increase their lead but that wasn’t to be.

I didn’t have high hopes of Man United having the win and I really wasn’t disappointed when they lost the game.

Wait a minute, do you expects Manchester United to gain ground and go further to win Manchester City at Etihad stadium? It's impossible because there's presence of vital rivalry in the Manchester derby. Pep Guardiola knows specifically how to handle Erik Ten Hag and his entire squad. Manchester City comes for the winning and domination. They didn't relent but bring on every capable strength to pressure the Red Devils. Manchester United open the scoring but couldn't seal the winning in the second half. The second half is mainly for Manchester City and they did everything to bring home the winning.
