Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[salad daging]

This Brentford pressure is real, am just not sure if it's the home advantage that's making the difference but United have failed to respond...come on boys pull up your socks!

Calm down! Brentford only had 22 shots.

Brentford had an unsuccessful match before is it possible that Manchester United will be even more depressed? But so far the Red Devils are still trying to find opportunities for goals in the first half and Manchester United should not fail to respond.

Quite curious about the final result so keep watching this match because otherwise Brentford will surprise Manchester United or on the contrary Erik Ten Hag's team will win.

Kevin De Bruyne in the best shape possible being absent makes the team worse. I don't wanna come up with a % number by how much the team is worse, but what would the point be of being proud to have this exceptional player when he does not give the team some % points in extra performance? No, for me he is one of the best midifielders/midfield-wingers of all times. There is hardly any player who understood as well how to put his teammates into the perfect position to score. His assist numbers are widely unmatched. I don't know whether there is a leaderboard regarding number of assists historically, but if there is, I am sure he is to be found in the top 5 of all times. I am not sure how it would not be a loss for a team if such a player is absent.

Yes, Kevin De Bruyne is a very influential figure for Manchester City, he is a great leader whose presence in the team will certainly have a tremendous impact. This season I think Manchester City's weakness lies in the midfield if De Bruyne cannot play. This season, Pep Guardiola is certainly very aware of this because he lost two important figures, De Bruyne, who often suffered injuries and lost other important figures such as Gundogan, who chose to move to Barcelona. The entry of Kovacic has not been able to be a suitable replacement, so Pep Guardiola has to change his playing pattern very often, which has caused Haaland to be a little hampered up front. But City's chances are big enough to get full points because playing at the Etihad Stadium, the support of fans could be very helpful in suppressing the opponent's mentality.

Everything you said is correct and many people forget about Gundogan and how he built the most dangerous midfield in the world with De Bruyne last season. These two guys had countless of goals and assists to their names and they perfectly harmonized with each other when it came to controlling the speed of the game. The fact that they scored so many important goals was another big advantage that Manchester City had over other teams. De Bruyne scored the important goal in the first leg against Real Madrid and Gundogan scored several important goals in Premier League games, some of which he scored late in the game when the strikers couldn't get the job done. Having such a midfield is so valuable to any team. It means that not everything has to be done and managed by a player like Haaland. Instead, the whole team is dangerous and can score goals. It is a bit different this season, but I think that was to be expected as it is always close to impossible to replace such a midfield 1:1 within just one season's time.

I can honestly say, it would be outrageous if Chelsea lost to Burnley. Despite how good Burnley is, Chelsea should still be above that club, from various angles. Burnley is the bottom club in the relegation zone.

You speak too honestly, but it's true. Chelsea must win and get full 3 points here. It would be intolerable if they failed again. Chelsea have a not-so-bad track record in 4 consecutive matches, they even won their last match against Leicester City quite impressively. So, in this match against Burnley, I am sure that they will also do well. In the previous match, in the EPL this season, Chelsea was also H2H superior to Burnley with a score of 1 - 4 for Chelsea's win, they were playing away. Moreover, they will be the host of the match. So I believe they will be much more optimal.

Draw??
Against Burnley??? With only 10 players???
How can??? Oh may. Can't say anything else.

I, really, don't know what's going on with Chelsea anymore. Never mind, my hopes are too high for Chelsea to win. in fact, ah, never mind. Everyone who watched this match or did not watch it must be feeling annoyed, very upset. What should we do and how else can we make Chelsea look a little better?

There is a possibility that the result will be a draw between Brentford vs Man United if it continues like this.
Because, they seem quite balanced, even though Brentford actually made more intense attacks compared to Man United. However, both of them have not been able to score a single goal. This time, Man United actually didn't play badly, but it wasn't very good either.

It's still in the 80-minute and the result is still a draw 0 - 0

[Docnaster]

It's been a lot of minutes since Manchester United couldn't score a goal. The interesting thing is that Brentford is playing better and attacking more. It's incredible that this match is still 0-0. It should have been over 2.5 goals by now. If Manchester United cannot win this match, they should forget their dream of catching Tottenham. Ten Hag brought Antony into the game to score a goal, the man has no goals this season.

For a top club with good quality players like Manchester United, I didn't expect them to struggle against in their game tonight against Brentford but the more disappointing issue in the game is that Brentford have been the better side in that game and if they can continue with the way they're pressing for a win they might just get the goal that'll ensure their win in the game.
Erik ten Hag I don't think is the ideal coach that'll United get their desired goal of becoming one of the most competitive English Premier League clubs again and if they must achieve that aim, I think it's best fir the club management to get rid of the Dutch man. Manchester United haven't been consistent and convincing with their performances and results this season and for a club that's big as United, it's embarrassing to see them play football at the moment.

Manchester United have found it difficult to break Through the defence line of Brendfort,as Brendfort have mounted more pressure than the red devils.I knew this game was really going to be tough as I predicted this encounter to end in a draw.This type of games normally go by just a goal to make the difference,and Instead of Man u to get that goal,I think it's going to go in favour of Brendfort,because they are the team posing more threat now,and Man u are just sitting back to defend.If United should lose to them,it will be an embarrassing defeat which will have a way of toiling with their top four hope.

It sounds like there's frustration after the draw against Burnley, especially considering the perceived difference in quality between the two teams. Pochettino and the team are likely feeling the pressure to perform, especially with expectations high. It'll be interesting to see how Chelsea navigates the remainder of the season and if they can improve their previous ranking.

Last season Chelsea ended the season in 12th position, while this season they have not improved their position where they are currently struggling in 11th position. Pochettino is of course under great pressure to start every match, even Chelsea cannot really be expected when they are favorites. It's hard to explain, but that's how Chelsea is this season.

Pochettino has the next 10 games to get Chelsea up from its current position, but almost every game ahead becomes more difficult. The next match is against Manchester United, so of course Chelsea is not the favorite team to win it.

Sheffield United vs Fulham

As mediocre team i have to says Fulham performance is quite impressive even in the last 6 matches in Premier League Fulham can gets 4 wins and those winning results they got from big teams such as Manchester United, Brighton and the latest is from Tottenham so obviously Fulham in the good shape especially after beat Tottenham with big scores 3-0 last week and for Sheffield United this team actually had an ambition want to surivive in Premier League but apparently it would be very hard for them even i have to says Sheffield United will return to Championship division next season

Both teams has been met on October last year at that time Fulham can able to overcomes Sheffield United with final scores 3-1 and today too Fulham potentially can repeat their previous result from Sheffield United this because their current conditions is more good compared to Sheffield United and about squad conditions too i have seen there was no important players from Fulham who got serious injured or suspension today so the players such as Antonee Robinson, Andreas Pereira or Fulham main striker Rodrigo Muniz will be ready to played and just like i said before i was confident Fulham will be able to beat Sheffield United today and the bookmakers provide good odds for Fulham win @1.70

This game was one interesting game to watch this weekend as currently the game still holds the most goals on the EPL this weekend. You can see how fierce both teams struggled to make sure they maintained the lead in this match but one or two mistakes happened and that couldn’t happen.
 
Fulham were in best position to win this match but the issue is that when coming to the ground of a relegation team, you probably are unsure of what to expect and this was what played out. Fulham have had good records before this match after defeating likes of Man United, Tottenham and co and many would have thought this will be one big walkove for them.

 ⁠Sheffield had the surprise in the bag and were able to make sure they snatch at least a point from this encounter. Sheffield had no control of the game because from the stat of the game you can see they had barely 25% of possession in this game but surprisingly they were 3-1 up till the 86th and 93rd minute.
 
 They had just 4 shots on target and were able to convert just 3 as compared to Fulham’s 9 shot on target. This goes to show how composed Sheffield were in this match, though they’re going to be relegated but they were brave enough to put up a fight.

[bitzizzix]

Why hasn't the character of the Manchester United players disappeared, because after playing well against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals with a score of 4-3 and now playing very badly against Brentford, who are currently ranked 15th.

Brentford played very well and also attacked more than Manchester United, and they also had 29 shots and 4 of them were on target. And it looks like the result will end in a goalless draw, and the match will be over soon.

[Iroh]

It usually difficult to see a game that Chelsea would play recently without conceiving a goal, Chelsea is really not doing well at all with their performance, even a game that they're supposed to win but they won't win, this is very annoying. Pochettino really needs to improve on his tactics because he can't be doing same thing over and over again and expect a different result.

This was a game Chelsea could have won and claimed all 3 points. I surely didn’t envisage Burnley equalizing after Chelsea scored each goal. The game was interesting as we saw some good goals from both sides but unfortunately for Chelsea, they couldn’t claim the win despite dominating the match.
Also, it’s quite embarrassing as Chelsea had the upper hand with Burnley being a man down but still couldn’t utilize the opportunity they had to put in enough goals to give them the win.
It probably wouldn’t have surprised me if Burnley had went on to score another goal to win the game.

We are now entering the injury time for united vs brentford. The result is still a draw at the moment and I believe a surprise goal will occur near the end of the match when United will go all out to attack Brentford. Things are not going well for Manchester United because they will lose three points against Brentford, it will be also reducing their chances of qualifying for the UCL next season to the zero as the gap is too big to catch up by united. It's not yet clear whether there will be an additional spot for EPL in upcoming season of UCL.  
Totenham and Villa won their games against their opponents which means bad things for united.  if United fails to win three points against Brentford, I'm sorry to say that United no longer has a chance of qualifying for the UCL next season, as the gap is growing even wider than before and it's impossible for united to catch up it.

It is impossible for Aston Villa to lose three points in at least four consecutive matches because there could be an 11-point gap between United and Villa.It has been a long time since Villa played in the UCL, and they will be returning, which is great. Many fans praise Emery as a world-class coach.
I'm still watching MU try everything to score at least one goal. 9 minutes of extra time was probably enough to score a goal for Manchester United, and the fans continued to chant in support of their favourite team.

If Manchester United clearly fails to qualify for the UCL, I recommend that the club fire its coach as soon as possible because Ten Hag is untrustworthy and cannot be defended as a coach any further.
Manchester United performed poorly in this game, and that is a fact.

So far I think Manchester United was not playing well enough to beat Brentford. In fact, I think if Manchester United loses this match Ten Hag should say goodbye in the conference after the match because even if keeps in until the end of this season, still Manchester United will not keep working with Ten Hag for the next season.
The 90 minutes of the game is over and during this time I saw 29 shots from Brentford while Manchester United had only 9 That's not a shame for Ten Hag and his players. Because Brentford is a team in 15th place in the league while Manchester United is racing for a Champions League ticket.

[poodle63]

If it is true that Kevin De Bruyne, Luiz Diaz, Manuel Akanji, Kyle Walker, and John Stones are not going to be available when they face Arsenal, then Manchester City will struggle against Arsenal. With the performance of Arsenal in the Premier League and the current injury crisis at Manchester City, Arsenal will surely walk away with three points when they play against Manchester City on Sunday.

Big blow for manchester city but why the hell luis diaz was there? Is not he liverpool player? Am i wrong about it? Missing walker and stones probably the biggest blow for manchester united. This is why i don't even like the international match when it was also caused a lot of important players to be injured.
It will be also greatly affect the performance from manchester city soon.

The match is not yet over and Manchester United have taken a big turn in this game and are now leading with one goal in the final minute of the match. Generally, the match was actually against Manchester United and it was as though Manchester United was defensive minded and Brentford was on the offensive. Initially, Brentford scored a goal that was cancelled but this Manchester United goal looks to be on spot. It will be a day of joy for Manchester United to have earned three points in a match they felt they were losing at first. I just hope they can hold Brentford and defend this one goal well before the end of the match.

Updated: Brentford strike back just within 3 minutes to level the game. What a game!

The manager is simply not good enough, his tactics are not bringing the best out of the squad and they are struggling greatly. Is this how Manchester United will continue ? Scrapping wins weekly ? Struggling against relegation threatened teams ? Awful football performances ?

How long before the management at Manchester United sack ten hag ?

I think all these are mind games from Pep to receive Arsenal fans. As an Arsenal fan, I will like any player to be available in the match tomorrow so that if I will lose, I will know that I lose with full squad and same thing if I win. I don’t want a situate here by after Arsenal win the match, they will be saying that Arsenal win without so so players just as people were saying in the first leg where Arsenal won without KDB and Rodri.
Tomorrow will soon be here to determine who will be the winner, every fan will support his/her team, so I stand with Arsenal 100%.

The whole players in the teams were only burdening palmer in this match. I don't even see that the important role showed by the players like enzo fernandes or caicedo. These players played like amateur football players and no doubt that they are all failed transfers by chelsea. The blues stupidly bought them with non sense price caused by FOMO.
There is no good player in the club who can did proper finishing other than palmer. It's not even the striker itself which is so crazy. Chelsea has no good player who can also did proper long shoot too which is a shame for the club.
Chelsea totally failed in rebuilding the new club under the new owner in the new era. It's absolutely crazy to see chelsea spent 600 millions to get nothing and it's probably finishing even worst compared to the last season. It's a shame for todd boehly and beghdad eghbali.
These stupid owners never learned from their mistakes. They keep try to control the club under their unprofessional management.

It was actually a disappointing performance from Chelsea to have a draw when they are still playing against 11 to 10 players, but that is a game. When the first goal was cancelled, it was one of the factors that made them weaker, although that was not a goal. So after Chelsea got their first penalty, they won before halftime, and immediately after coming back from halftime without hesitating, Burnley got their equalising goal, which made the game such an interesting one to watch. 

Although the game was already over and Chelsea went on a draw in a home game, this is not encouraging at all because everyone was expecting Chelsea to win the game, including me, because from their last five games against Burnley, they won 4 games, 1 draw, and 0 loss, which was quite surprising when I saw Burnley equalising in any goal. They won them and kept their strong defence in order not to lose the game. Although it was a nice game from Burnley, they tried their best. 

[Stable090]

Liverpool might take advantage if Manchester City and Arsenal draw, but I'm sure one of the two will win the game and I'm picking Manchester City to do it. Manchester City have home advantage and the record, but that doesn't mean Arsenal won't surprise.

That’s just what Liverpool want, if Manchester City vs Arsenal can end as draw, then they will be taking back their first position back if they can win their match against Brighton tomorrow, and their is high possibility that they are going to win the match, but I don’t know how Manchester city vs Arsenal result is going to be, am not expecting a draw from the match, am expecting one club to win the match even if it’s going to be a slight goal difference, but some people are just having hope in Manchester city to win the match, since they are having home advantage.

Why hasn't the character of the Manchester United players disappeared, because after playing well against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals with a score of 4-3 and now playing very badly against Brentford, who are currently ranked 15th.

The match has ended, and the two clubs played draw, the match ended as 1-1. I was surprised to see the two clubs score in the extra minutes given. Manchester United is not a club which you should have full hope on, they played well against Liverpool in FA cup, but they played poorly today, Manchester United is just inconsistent this season.

The two matches that surprised me today was Manchester United vs Brentford, and Chelsea vs Burnley, I never expected draw in the two matches, I expected a win from Chelsea and Manchester United, but we can see the result of the match, the two club’s performance was just poor in today’s match.

This have been United for a couple of years already. Having great games , then very bad ones , followed by a mediocre game like today so I doubt anything will change in the future with this club. However , today they didn't deserve more than 1 point and I'm glad Brentford managed to score in the last minute of the game.

Tomorrow , City vs Arsenal is for sure the game of the week across Europe.

Talk, Yap and Flaf that's what most of y'all do here. I double doubt if you even play football. If you consider the job one easy one to do, say no more, get your Cv intact and go get the job.

They squad lacked energy and they've missed a good point to qualify them for the Champions League Competition for next season, more eight games to go. I still believe they're having a good chance above Tottenham Hotspur in the chase for the Champions League slot. Mason Mount for the rescue but they couldn't hold that breathe for too long.

The game was all about the bee's anyway, they should have scored four goals in this very game. But they was so unlucky. They be having some good number of points above the relegation though. Sacking Erik Ten Hag? That I don't know, he remains the best option for Manchester United. All that's needed is some quality players added to the squad.
