Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Mr.right85]

Even though that Tottenham performance in this game wasn't as expected, Remember that in the tonight's game the Tottenham team not just play with Chelsea football team but rather with their former manager Pochettino who knows all Tottenham's weak points and angle from which he from won that game or even to stop them from defeating Chelsea, so this isn't a surprising defeat to me at all, I kind of expected it despite Chelsea being on their down time recently where they've lost most of their important matches.

Exactly, part of Tottenham’s problem was right there on the sideline, working with the opposition team and that is Pochettino. It always comes down to trying to beat your formal team and this is a team he lead for way too long and have got every players style of play in his playbook. There was only one  or two ways this game could go and none of that involved Chelsea losing. It was going to be a win for Chelsea or they would draw the game. Good enough Chelsea managed to win, it was indeed deserving.
I was impressed with Cole Palmer, he didn’t score a goal today but, his impact in trying to go forward always and accurate passes was very present in the game. He’s such a strong force for Chelsea.

Chelsea will always dominate Tottenham Hotspur without any significant trace. There's no way Tottenham Hotspur would have thrashed Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. It was an impossible mission for spurs and Ange Postecoglou have spent another midweek without accumulating three winning points. On the other hand, Chelsea have good players that have been well trained to absorbed presure, more importantly Cole Palmer was essential for the progress and played a major role in Chelsea victory.

Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are two teams that's hard to predict their performance and you can imagine the consequences of playing against each other..
The consequences of this defeat for Spurs will be severe since the last ticket for UEFA Champions League next season is going to Aston Villa since they are only 5 points from securing it regardless of Tottenham Hotspur remaining results.
In the other hand, Spurs should stop their bad record and start winning or else Manchester United could catch them..

Honestly arsenal has make a great mistake in their previous match against Aston Villa that they allowed the Aston villa to defeated them, if not by now they will now they will know have any challenges. Nevertheless arsenal still have some chances in there remaining three matches. Because I know they will find all of the matches very easily to win even when people's where saying that Arsenal can only their match against Manchester united difficult, I don't agree with that I'm confidence that Arsenal will be the winner of the season.

The truth is that; even if Arsenal didn’t lose their match against Aston Villa, with the number of big teams they’ve played and will be playing since then, it’s not a certain that they’ll win all the matches although a win in that could have keep their morale high and want to win the league title. They had their chances and let it slipped by, if Manchester City do the same, Arsenal could be lucky for a league trophy but I doubt such is going to happen now again.

Chelsea will always dominate Tottenham Hotspur without any significant trace. There's no way Tottenham Hotspur would have thrashed Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Cole Palmer is now the new Hazard of Chelsea. He has been playing brilliantly well this season and have take part in most of the wins Chelsea have achieved this season. He is a great player and would likely bring Chelsea back to their winning ways and glorious days in the league. As usual, I can’t remember when last Tottenham Hotspur won Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, they still didn’t allow that record to break today and this will be a proud game for the fans and entire team management. I only hope they can keep up with the good performance because they’re very unpredictable this season.

[TelolettOm]

I will have to disagree with some of your points, yes it was a bad night for Tottenham Hot spur once again but i wasn’t too surprised because In their last 15 matches with Chelsea they have managed to win only once which shows the superiority of Chelsea in the London derby. Chelsea today also played well than in their previous games knowing full well that a loss today will have ended their hopes of any European football next season. This win today now sets them on the verge of qualifying for at least the Conference league.

If we look at the H2H statistics for Tottenham vs Chelsea, indeed, it is not quite impressive because after all, Chelsea is above Tottenham, regarding the number of wins. However, I was actually a bit surprised by the results, to be honest, I didn't watch it this time. But I think Tottenham will win. This is probably an overthinking thing and I'm already too disappointed with the performance and results of the match with Chelsea, that's what I feel. But indeed, lately, Tottenham has been playing very badly, they haven't even had a win in the last 3 matches, only a red mark.

Well, interestingly, check this:

[TastyChillySauce00]

I don't think Chelsea can win against Tottenham today. Although Tottenham have lost their last two matches, they are better than Chelsea. Chelsea drew 2-2 with Aston Villa in their last match and conceded a 5-0 defeat against Arsenal in the previous match.

Tottenham team will definitely play with the aim of getting full points in this match. Tottenham will now look to hold on to fifth place in the table and qualify for the Europa League. On the other hand, the performance of Chelsea players is very erratic. It is very difficult for Chelsea to beat a team like Tottenham at the moment.

We’re is Chelsea want to see that capacity to be able to defeat Tottenham, even arsenal are finding it challenging even if we know arsenal are weak because first half arsenal was leading with three goal’s until second half and the pressure was much on arsenal so there is no way Chelsea can defeat them. And the problem sometimes is that we are always judging clubs base on there previous games and a club nigh look weak and all of a sudden the game might just change, but Chelsea is not one serious club for about two seasons now they are facing serious challenges, last season the money spent on players was much and no improvement. Tottenham will not let there guard down, good luck to Chelsea, I wonder what problem Chelsea have finding it to improve.

As long as chelsea known so well how to defend from totenham's attack and it can have very big chance to win against it. that's pretty much the same like when chelsea was winning against arsenal. The key is the momentum after totenham failed with its attack. I meant that if totenhamw as very often in using highline defensive.
This puts club to take the risk by going upfront. Any failed attack will put totenham into the big risk getting counter attacked by its opponent. We know that chelsea has one of quickest counter attack this season. This can be an opportunity for the blues to beat it.

Totenham never changes its strategy and i totally aware about this too. that's why im calling that as long as totenham use the same strategy. chelsea has a very big chanec to win against it.
Totenham is strong with offensive strategy but high line defensive has become the biggest mistake by ange. he never tries to fix this horrible strategy that cost club a lot of points.

[MAAManda]

Chelsea had a brilliant performance this evening and playing from home was a well utilized advantage of which I think they have been able to utilize to the fullest as they have been able to get victory over their opponent this evening and then I think this winning aren't really doing much for Chelsea than just helping them try to see if they could finish in a much better position the. They are currently because they had been in a poor finishing position.

I was actually surprised that Chelsea was able to have such a performance against Tottenham, a team that was actually a problem to many of the elite teams but are now getting to appear much weaker against Chelsea who happens to be an average team since this season, I had expected bother team to have had a difficult game and possibly such that they may actually end in a goal or Tottenham will be able to get a goal by the end of the game but then it turned out that they were unable to even get a goal against Arsenal and are now at the  fifth position.

Tottenham didn't playe too badly actually but then I had expected they will be able to maintain a spot att he top four but it's sad to note that they are most definitely not going to be able to get to the top four because they have been unable to win the few games remaining to the end of the season but then they are more likely to finish att he fifth position on the table.

Chelsea didn't play dominantly, but they were able to bring 3 points even with a 2 goal difference. Look at the match statistics, it's clear that Tottenham Hotspur are really causing problems at Stamford Bridge, but what makes me confused is that they couldn't score a single goal. So what should we call this Chelsea win? luck? or is it really a good win from a good performance?

Then regarding the standings, there's no longer a place for Chelsea to play in European competition next season, the points gap is too big.

Tottenham were only able to dominate the match but they did not have the opportunity to score a goal, on the other hand Chelsea managed to take advantage of the opportunity and were able to score two goals. Defeat against Chelsea is also very detrimental because the opportunity to catch Aston Villa is now increasingly remote.
Now Tottenham will be increasingly under pressure where they will be chased by Manchester United if they fail to win the next match. Only six points away from Manchester United and Tottenham must be really consistent in the remaining matches if they want to qualify for the European league.

Tottenham Hotspur wasted a good chance to reduce gap with Aston Villa and with this defeat, they nearly lose that race. Chelsea with this win, are participating in the race to the sixth position that is temporarily hold by Manchester United. This race for the sixth position is interesting because there are three clubs in the race, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Chelsea with their points are 54, 53 and 51.

Manchester United and Chelsea don't have good goal difference and if two or three clubs have same total points, the advantage will go to Newcastle United with goal difference is 19, while Manchester United and Chelsea only have 1 and 6 in their goal differences.

Yes that's right. Even though Chelsea have been less consistent this season, when they met Spurs, Chelsea suddenly became the team of the Drogba era, they were strong and hard to beat at Stamford Bridge.

If Chelsea played every game like this, the chances of winning would be greater, playing from foot to foot, the ball flowing in neat patterns, the transition from attack to defense is quite good. If they can be consistent like this, it is not impossible to enter the top 4 this season, but unfortunately they are too late in pursuing the top four positions. Maybe next season they should start with a consistent game because this season Chelsea often likes to fluctuate and has not been able to be consistent. And apart from Cole Palmer, Cucurella's role in this match also needs to be appreciated, he is very cool.

It is increasingly difficult for Tottenham to finish in the top four after suffering three consecutive defeats, previously they were humiliated by Arsenal at their home ground and Newcastle with a landslide score of 4-0. Failing to add points in the last three matches has meant that Tottenham have only collected 60 points and are currently in fifth place, seven points behind Aston Villa in fourth, making it increasingly difficult for Tottenham to enter the Champions League zone.

Tottenham seemed to have lost their confidence and passion for playing, the decline in performance became additional work for Ange Postecoglou to change Tottenham game for the rest of the season so they could finish in a better position. Tottenham slumping condition makes it very difficult to beat Chelsea, especially as Pochettino can field his best squad in this game.

It looks like Tottenham's nightmare will continue in the next match because they will face Liverpool, Postecoglou must immediately find a solution to the downturn his team is experiencing, especially since they will also face Manchester City after fighting Burnley. Chelsea managed to improve its ranking after successfully adding three points, occupying eighth position with 51 points from 34 matches, a difference of three points from Manchester United in sixth position and two points from Newcastle United in seventh position.

Damn. Tottenham suffered successive defeats if it had won it should have overtaken Aston Villa but their fate is still unlucky because they cannot maintain their position in addition to now greater pressure from the team below with a slight difference.

An interesting position 5-8. Tottenham will meet Man City and Liverpool in this tough match.
Man United will meet Arsenal and then Newcastle then the hunt for points will be even more fierce.
A little fortunate maybe Chelsea because they won't meet the big teams but we realize Chelsea still can't be sure they will win in the next 3 matches even if they win it can save them from competing in Europe.

Anyway, Chelsea sometimes plays well at home when they are facing a top club, so Chelsea tries to look good even though they don't really dominate the ball, but Chelsea manages to play smart tactics and can keep the defense strong enough when Tottenham tries to take a lot of shots and Chelsea doesn't give opportunity for Tottenham to score a goal, Chelsea managed to get 3 important points to continue to improve its position which is in 8th place, now the difference between Chelsea and 6th place is only 3 points and if Chelsea maintains a good record by continuing to win then Chelsea has a chance to finish in 6th position but with the hope that Manchester United will make a mistake in the remaining 1 match, perhaps when they face Arsenal later.

Meanwhile, Tottenham failed to catch Aston Villa to compete for the Champions League zone spot, the point difference between the two is getting wider, namely 7 points, so it is impossible for Tottenham to overtake Aston Villa with a point difference that wide apart from waiting for Aston Villa to experience defeat, but it looks like Aston Villa will not make stupid mistakes they have come this far to be in the Champions League zone.

Chelsea's performance in this match was indeed very good. Because all the players who work in all lines can carry out their duties well. So even though Chelsea were often attacked by Tottenham in that match, this did not produce good enough opportunities for Tottenham. The reason is, Chelsea's defenders played very well and consistently in this match. So that the majority of attacks launched by Tottenham players could be stopped properly. Apart from that, what amazed me about the performance of the Chelsea players in this match was the strategy they used. Because after being able to anticipate Tottenham's attacks, Chelsea players were always able to counterattack quickly. And his attacks can always endanger Tottenham's defense.

In essence, the flow of attacks and strategies created by Pochettino as Chelsea coach in this match (defense and attack). Very successful in making Tottenham lose. Apart from that, Cole Palmer did have a very good contribution in this match. because he always helps Chelsea's counter-attacks become more perfect. Maybe if the midfield wasn't Cole Palmer in this match, I don't think Chelsea's attack line would be well organized. And with this victory, Chelsea is still in 8th place and only 2 points adrift of Newcastle who are in 7th place in the Premier League.

I think, Chelsea over power Tottenham Hotspur that made Chelsea to begin to lead the match from the first half till the end of the match, because they really prepared to use home advantage to do what they have not done to Tottenham Hotspur in this season to achieved points which they did yesterday to defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 for the favour of Chelsea. Chelsea still have strong defenders in this season that is making some teams not to have easy access to their goalpost some time, which they did it to their opponent yesterday not to allowed them to score a single goal from the match. Tottenham Hotspur is reducing points in the premier league table which their manager need to find solution to their challenges, because they are about to drop down to 5th position and it will be difficult for them to return back to third position or 4th position, because Aston villa has occupied the position.

It's not that Tottenham don't want to change their style of play, but in fact their players are actually in line with the current scheme, so it's possible that what Tottenham did was not poor tactics, but in reality there was no luck in that match for Tottenham.  Indeed, Chelsea is improving their standing so it is not surprising if they are able to win this match and plus they are also playing at home which requires them to win this important match.

[Hirose UK]

Amazingly, Chelsea was able to beat Tottenham with landslide score of 2 - 0 and this was victory that really made all Chelsea fans cheer and feel satisfied with the game of their proud team.
Tottenham is not weak team, in fact Tottenham has several times put pressure on them which has made it difficult for big top teams to win when they meet them, but today Tottenham were helpless against Chelsea.
Thanks to this victory, Chelsea was able to overtake West Ham in 8th place in the standings and in today match Tottenham had many opportunities and dominated the game but they failed to convert the opportunities into goals.
Chelsea, who were little under pressure from Tottenham players, actually managed to score 2 unexpected goals.

Next, Chelsea will meet West Ham and once again this is home match for Chelsea, if they can play well maybe they can still win.
Chelsea opportunity to improve and finish in better ranking is really open, but I doubt whether they can be consistent or not because during this season Chelsea performance has been quite unstable.

Don't be that too surprised bro, Chelsea is not doing fine at the moment no doubt, but you have to know that no other team knows how to beat Tottenham Hotspur than Chelsea in the English premier league, so don't be that too surprised, besides Chelsea put in a very good performance that made their winning very deserving, even though they weren't expected to win this one here by most neutral fan, so a big congrats to them for getting the desired result against their arch rivals.

Lastly, I think the race to qualify for European places is really heating up very well because as I check the premier league table, it's only Aston villa that is way apart, if not from Tottenham Hotspur which is in number fifth to number eight, they are just separate by nine point, and Manchester united, Newcastle united and Chelsea all have a game in hand compared to Tottenham Hotspur and Aston villa, so I believe that, between now and the end of the season, anything can still happen in the race for a spot in Europe.

[Leviathan.007]

I think Pochettino should worry less about dealing and being angry with the VAR system and focus more on his team which has been suffering to heavy lost games in both derby games against Arsenal which they were demolished with a 5-0 result and also with Chelsea tonight when we are in additional time and Chelsea is leading 2-0,not much to go against the referees or VAR system in my opinion.Lately Tottenham have been doing really bad in the Premier League and while only 3 more or 2 more games remain they are not safe in their position,well they seem safe as they have another 3 games to play and the distance of 6 points from their nearest opponent is somewhat reassuring,they will be taking place in Europa League again as a consolation prize.

Tottenham are one of the most unpredictable teams now when we look at the premier league stand because there are continued to show that they are really not a team to carry at heart and they continue showing this always and I really don't know what's going on with the club, I think they should look for other ways to fixed their problem because I see that team having a big problem and I doubt they will finish at spot that offers any European football.

I have no idea about what happened in the game between Tottenham and Chelsea today. Pochettino had a good performance with his players and he won the game against Tottenham while we were all expecting Tottenham to win this match today because they were motivated for this match much more than Chelsea.
Tottenham could get closer to getting the Champions League for next season which could be very important for them but after losing this match there is less hope for Tottenham.
Tottenham had a perfect start in this season and they were even in the first place in the league for some weeks but it seems they had a very unstable performance.

Chelsea opportunity to improve and finish in better ranking is really open, but I doubt whether they can be consistent or not because during this season Chelsea performance has been quite unstable.

Chelsea players delivered just another great performance to make sure they grabbed all three points in their game against Tottenham Hotspur last night. Chelsea in my own perspective is a club that's got the needed quality of players to put up a strong fight for as many trophies as possible but because of the inconsistency of the team, they've not been able do that. When they faced Tottenham Hotspur in their first league fixture of the season, the North London club finished the game with 9 men which made many believe it was the reason Mauricio Pochentino's men were able to leave Tottenham Hotspur home ground with a win but in that game yesterday, the both team finish with complete 11 players but it still didn't stop Chelsea to win the game without conceding a goal. If Mauricio Pochentino can do well to make the team remain consistent with the kind of performance we saw last night, Chelsea might just be considered a strong English Premier League club once again
