Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[poldanmig]

What are your thoughts on the Brentford - Chelsea match? I think Brentford is capable of taking points away from Chelsea in this match. In the match with Liverpool, they showed character and showed that they can play with strong opponents, moreover, the match will be at their stadium. Chelsea will have a match in the Champions League with Malmö on Wednesday, but I don't think that they will keep their strength for this match.

Chelsea and brenford are only 4 points adrift and of course this match could be an opportunity for brenfor to get into the top 4 of the standings, despite having a different squad quality, but chelsea can't take brendford lightly because currently brenford is in really good form and in some matches Brentford has succeeded in making it difficult for the big teams in the English Premier League, I think even Brentford has a chance to beat Chelsea if they can play well and are able to tightly guard the movement of the Chelsea striker.

I feel very positive about Chelsea in this game. The conditions of Lukaku and Rudiger seems doubtful for now. They are both very important players for the team. But even without them, Chelsea are capable of winning this game I think. Brentford will be a quite competitive opponent for them. We watched how great they were against Liverpool as they resisted and got a 3-3 draw. I wouldn't be surprised if both teams score. But at the end, Chelsea should be able to win this.

I look at the EPL table and it seems everything is set for a more competitive and aggressive than ever. Looking at the teams in the top four, they don't distance each other so much, pointwise and goal margins. Therefore, loosing this weekend is a no option, not like it was anyway.
Though, I have a good feeling about Chelsea though, I still feel Thomas Tuchel would be working off some winning tricks real soon. This is why I believe Chelsea would  be winning there for against Brentford. No doubt Brentford would be equal to the task by

I expect both teams to score and Manchester United should be able to win.

After Manchester United's recent performances, I don't think I can be too sure of them winning Leicester City, though Brendan Rodger's team isn't in good form themselves, but up against United being the underdogs, they can prolly defend and try to hit United on the counter, just like Everton did, and they could be successful with that as well. If I remember correctly, the last time this two sides met, Leicester City came out victorious, I'm not expecting Leicester to win again this time, prolly a draw and the two sides will share the points.

There are no thoughts about this match as Brentford performance is already speaking about them, they are new promoted club and have very record even against top ranked teams. Chelsea is also good and can go through all the way because they have some quality players and these all are performing very good but still it's going to be very tough match for them, they have good record on road.

But, at home Brentford already perform very good against Liverpool which was shocking for many with this performance if they are going to stay in top 10 in this season surely this could be not surprising.

There have been few signings under him which went great like Wan Bissaka, Bruno Fernandes, now Ronaldo, Cavani. I think there will always be risk when you buy a player but they have made mistakes when buying players with big tags. I think Jadon Sancho is still adjusting and it will take a time for him. Give him a year at minimum to adjust and make space into team. He is decent but not that special strategist IMO to manage Manchester United.

Next game is very crucial for them as they face Leicester City who have been somewhat a title contender in the PL race for quite some years now. It should be an interesting contest.

They also got too many players on the same positions as well. I mean Ronaldo is a pure striker nowadays, he can't really play at the wings because he is doesn't have that stamina anymore. And we should be understanding of that because he is getting older, even though he is taking care of his body, getting older is no joke, so he is playing like a striker.

However they have so many other players on offense, martial, greenwood, rashford, sancho, bruno, all playing at offense. You can't put all of these players at the front with ronaldo, that makes 6 players at offense and that is impossible. Surerashford is injured and that makes it a little easier, but we are talking about a team filled with star level players who are playing around the same places, and that makes things a lot harder to manage. I understand Ole's situation, I wouldn't be able to get a decent team out there without hurting anyone's feelings neither.

Manchester United is not the underdog for this match. Look at the recent statistic of Leicester, they havent win in the last 4 games and that would be 5 games if you exclude EFL cup and include Europa League matches in it. Both teams are definitely not performing at their best performances right now but Manchester United is way better than Leicester

If I remember correctly, the last time this two sides met, Leicester City came out victorious, I'm not expecting Leicester to win again this time, prolly a draw and the two sides will share the points.

For the record, Leicester City won two times against Manchester United last season but its going to be different this season for sure

Leicester vs Manchester United game will be one of the games that I will follow closely. This is an important game for both teams actually. Leicester have a very bad form and couldn't win in their last four league games. Manchester United are also not in a very ideal condition. They struggled to win games recently and drew with Everton the last time. They need to win this even if it is a tough game. I expect both teams to score and Manchester United should be able to win.

Manchester united even having excellent players is not managing to have good results because the coach cannot manage the team well, for this game in my opinion leicester can win or draw, the most difficult thing is to believe that Manchester united will come out with victory in that game. for this reason i stopped betting on games involving manchester united, i thought that with the arrival of cristiano ronaldo manchester united would start to have good results, but unfortunately nothing changed.

Manchester has better players compared to Chelsea this season but their difficulty is the coach inability to manage his team. It's high time Ole gets sacked and united gets a better replacement. With the squad at old Trafford Manchester united should be undefeated this season. Ronaldos dream of winning the premier league again can only be a reality if ole leaves. For United vs Leicester I don't really know what my prediction would be because I'm not seeing united prepared to defeat Leicester

I don't think any star player is interested in joining the Newcastle team now. Star players will definitely want more wages, at the same time, they will definitely want to play with the same good squad and will want to win the title. Newcastle will probably provide many wages. But they can't afford to fight for the Premier League title. And I don’t think it will happen next season either. They have to slowly sort out the team.

It will take Newcastle 1 year at least to 3 years then they can attract best players to join them. Like Manchester City attracted Kun Aguero but in previous seasons, they have Robinho, Santa Cruz and a few more attacking players
Newcatsle must improve their results gradually and the investment for transfer will be very costly. We see Chelsea, Manchester City and PSG spent huge transfer fund in a decade or more to become a top clubs in the world now.
The adventure of Newcatsle will be harder because now FIFA and EUFA have more restrictions than one or two decades ago. Rich clubs now can not overspend their money like in the past.

You are right. Newcastle is now a rich club. But still they will not be able to spend as much money as they want. Moreover, even if they spend money, they will not be able to take star players in the team. Until Newcastle can come to a stable state, they will not be able to take star players into the team. It needs an experienced coach first and stabilizes the team with some medium-quality players. Then when the team is stable they will be able to include more experienced players in the team.

Miracles are certainly possible, but I can't imagine what kind of miracle should happen so that Newcastle with the current squad and coach and the penultimate place in the table could claim the championship this year Of course not, it's just that Newcastle need to stabilize the game this season and so far move at least to the middle of the table, having carried out a high-quality winter transfer campaign and recruit players above the average level. The competition in the Premier League is great and rivals in the fight for high places will also not stand still in the fight for players and Newcastle will have to offer more money than already formed competitors.

Ole did his best as we can see Man united is in an unstable phase sometimes they play really well and sometimes they don't. Management can consider Ole if he fails to bring Man United in 4-5 position we are still waiting until the end of the season. Actually if I had to choose between Chelsea and Man United I would prefer Chelsea this season.

Ferran Torres has a “small fracture in his right foot” and will be a low-key for Manchester City for several weeks. He will be unavailable for the 'classic' with Manchester United, as for the Champions League matches against Brugge and Paris Saint-Germain.

This why I hate with International FIFA or Nation League made by UEFA, they only think with the money how much get every year and with many competition made they can earn much money without care what about club get injury with his player after playing on FIFA matchday. Now faced crisis with manchester City on this week because they left by forward from Torres until Gabriel Jesus missing from City squad after his country still playing on FIFA world cup qualifier.

However, I believe that participating in defending the country of each professional player is a great desire and achievement. We can't blame FIFA for the injuries suffered by the players.
ManCity is just a few examples of the impact of the intense competition that is taking place. then the importance of the team has players with substitutes with the same quality as the main players. after all, it's not bad, players who usually don't get a chance to play will later get the main stage.
I'm sure ManCity isn't the only one experiencing the same problem. there will be some players also from the many teams whose main players are left defending their country will be in bad shape to start the match in the league.

Brentford started the season with good performance, they played against Liverpool and was able to achieve a draw point from the match, and even won their last match. If Chelsea wants to win this game, they must be well prepared and they shouldn't expect an easy winning as the match is a home match for Brentford. Although, Chelsea is presently in their best form and can't be beaten easily. Winning against Brentford is important because they need more points in order to maintain their position on the standings.

I won't blame the players and the manager for this.
Even Man Utd had a better squad, they still have a weak mentality as a team. whoever manager handles the result will remain the same even if Man utd buys the most expensive player though. their mentality should be changed to monsters if necessary.
they would be better if there a troublemaker in the team, who always interfered with the mentality of opposing players on the field, so they are respected mentally.

This is not a pleasant thing for the club, according to the news he will not be playing for 4 to 6 weeks, from those 4 to 6 weeks in EPL City's toughest opponent is Man United but hopefully that Torres will only need 4 weeks to recover and against United he can play, Pep is experienced so maybe City won't have much trouble.

A big opportunity for Raheem sterling to step into Man City starting eleven, he had been complaining of his lack of action in the club and not given opportunity of starting matches since the arrival of Grealish he had been confined to the bench. It's a pity that Ferran Torres will action in those crucial matches for Man City, now that he had been very impressive for the spanish national team having scored a double in their 2-1 nil win over Italy who had enjoyed unbeaten record for a long.

Before losing Ferran Torres due to an injury suffered during the Nation League final against France, Manchester City also had to lose Gabriel Jesus because he was still strengthening for Brazil in the Qatar World Cup qualifiers in the South American zone. The composition of Manchester City's players this season without a single striker after Aguero's contract was not extended and negotiations with Harry Kane were tough, until the January transfer window opened City continued to play without a pure striker.

Guardiola has to change his tactics now to adapt to the new sad facts.. He will count on Mahrez, Grealish, Foden (or Sterling) as forwarders tho in his 4-3-3. The absence of Torres and G.J will have an impact for sure but City can manage to pass this situation with the lowest damage imo.. Otherwise I agree about the useless competition called Nations League and the tight schedule for players that increases the risk of injuries..
