Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

An intriguing encounter between this two sides. Chelsea were dominant and deserved a to win but unfortunately De Gea was exceptional again and make crucial saves. A tough game for United they struggled throughout the match and performed poorly. Changes are needed unless things might become worse. It was a very important game for Manchester after coming from a spell of loses and good for Team morale as they stopped Chelsea top form right in its tracks. Honestly i liked the brilliant performance in all possession from Chelsea despite a draw. They deserved a win but  got a draw. The points are shared and Chelsea still maintain top spot in the league table. One point ahead of rivals Manchester City.

Most recently, it was the case that Ronaldo did very little work defensively, tying up more players in midfield and making ManU's game more difficult, especially in midfield. Maybe the coach wants to see how it goes when everyone is working at the back, which could make ManU's game more variable.
Overall, however, Chelsea dominates the match at the moment. And only because of De Gea, ManU is not yet behind.

All Man Utd players collectively played defensively, they are able to choke up pressure mounted by Chelsea, I can now see why Carrick benched Ronaldo, meanwhile Fred, matic and Mctominay holding the midfield tight atleast the match worked according to man Utd game plan and kudos to Degea for making some crucial saves that kept the visitors clean sheet, I hope Man Utd to up their game in the second half and play more attacking football maybe they might get a scoring chance  if Ronaldo islater  introduce  in the match.

Yea it was a nice tactical play, the midfield 3 did there job Very well, Bruno job there is to link up the attacking two,is a good tactics keeping Christiano Ronaldo at the bench it paid off not conceiving a goal in the first half and could have won them the game if not for the silly penalty.

[JeromeTash]

And yup...  United fans better get used to it.  Rangnick could continue putting Ronaldo on the bench.  They couldn’t do a high press with him around cos he doesn’t really defend.

But you can't win a game without scoring a goal. Ronaldo has literary been saving United's ass most of the time in the goal scoring department, especially in Champion's league. His game play has evolved and right now all he does is to position himself in the opponent's box waiting to poach.

What United could do is get more guys who can do the dirty work and keep Ronaldo in front because when it comes to goals, he has really helped them so far.

Chelsea - Manchester United

cristiano ronaldo won't be playing at the beginning of the game, what does the new coach want to see with ronaldo's absence?

Very nice. a tactical that let your opponent attacking for free over and over again the whole game with the stats below to show :

24 shots
6 on target
15 corner

cristiano introduced = chelsea scored.
all the analysis and predictions seems all against both of you guys.
chelsea still on top despite losing points today. good defending tactical game mr carrick.
the unbeaten run still on!

[Avirunes]

United did good to hold Chelsea attacks but also were lucky as well today. Apart from that I wouldn't say much of a good display from them. They got off lucky with the goal out of Jorginho horrible error back there and it was a good run and an easy score for Sancho.

Next is Arsenal and let's see how they handle them.

[Masplanc]

Like I knew that Manchester United performance will be totally different  from that of before. It was a great one today, all good work to Ralf Rangnick I know he is going to make a good impact in the team. Honestly the defense of the player's was awesome.

[BIT-BENDER]

If am not mistaking this would be the third time chelsea are drawing with Manchester United in the league the others ended goalless draw in both matches, the bad blood is too much mixed with the pressure, I think when ever they meet draw becomes the best option and it's not even about the league anymore it's about bragging rights, and this would only result to two teams without a clear head giving us a boring match, and I think tonight match only got excited in the second half. Two points dropped for chelsea, Liverpool is the biggest winner this weekend and coming hard at chelsea.

Destiny to bring the two together will be a long story between Chelsea and Manchester United always fail to outperform each other. As an eternal rival, this is indeed quite scary when one of the two will lose. As you said when with Liverpool or City they would at least have a goal point.

Is this to say that Carrick has done well with a draw plus an away game at Stamford Bridge, but for me this effort has worked for Carrick in his dealings.

I saw from both of them there have been a lot of chances meaning both teams played very offensively and attacking each other happened, Man United's game was very passionate compared to playing with Watford but when facing Chelsea this difference was very big and more open from the players.

[3meek]

Chelsea looked much stronger than Man U, but in this match there was no miracle in the final seconds, although the defender could easily have scored! Man U did well to take advantage of what was probably the only good chance they had and scored a goal thanks to a mistake by Chelsea!

[DU18]

Manchester united was lucky enough to hold chelsea to a draw today, in the first half it was clear that chelsea had more control over the match and made the manchester united defense have to work hard, but in the second half, i saw if manchester united began to dare to press chelsea and they were lucky enough to score the goal took advantage of a control error made by Jorginho at the beginning of the second half of the match, I think the counter-attack scheme applied by manchester united today is quite good, although they often fail to take advantage of the opportunities that exist, the 1-1 result seems indeed a fair enough score for both teams.
Btw I think today manchester united is still led by carrick and not by rangnick like you said, so the real praise for manchester united's performance today is for carrick not rangnick .

Chelsea - Manchester United match is over. Chelsea, who shot 23 shots, caught the draw with Jorginho's penalty goal. Manchester United must be very lucky to get 1 point from this match. Manchester City is very happy with this score. The point gap between Chelsea and them decreased to 1.

All I was expecting today is for Chelsea to win that Match, the possession goes to Chelsea, the shot on target and everything was dominated by Chelsea but it really pained me that they couldn't score in the match than a penalty scored by Jorginho. Manchester City and Liverpool are closer behind with just 1 and 2 points left. Manchester United shouldn't be hard for Chelsea other than Chelsea really fuck us up, but though anything can happy in a match.

[Red Pie]

Wow.  How was the match?  Chelsea struggled a lot in the game they played well from start to finish.  It was a match where they caught a draw with a penalty goal.  At Manchester United, Michael Carrick did not start Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting 11.  I think it was an interesting choice.

Man u has a very big luck. If no be Alonso that was not playing well and Jorginho that made that big mistake. Infact even chelsea has luck too. If not Wanbissaka that committed penalty we would have lost the match.

The top standings competition is getting tougher and Chelsea, Mancity, Liverpool between the three clubs are only one point apart, it will be more interesting with the results next week than one of them will be shifted.

Man United only took advantage of a blunder from Jorginho so that it was easier for Sancho to score without an opponent.
Jorginho returned the goal with a fine penalty kick, with the draw and points shared while it will be increasingly worrying for Chelsea as they get closer with points below him.

I think Chelsea were just unlucky today to win the match even though we knew they created some chance. Of course, this result is highly expected by other team such as Manchester City and Liverpool because now the difference in point for the three team is only 1 and 2.

Before the match started, I just thought Chelsea would have won by more than two goals, but it turned out that Manchester United defended pretty well and De Gea barely made a mistake if there wasn't a penalty. He played well and saved the net from some good chance created by Chelsea. It's another surprise in the Premier League this week.

After Ole Solskjaer's departure, Manchester United played their first Premier League. And it was one of the most competitive games that's for sure. Playing against a team like Chelsea in an away game is really tough this season. Chelsea have done a great job since Tuchel became their manager. And Chelsea were the highly favourite team of this game also like I said before. Chelsea dominated the game in general just as I assumed. But Manchester United scored a goal while nobody was expecting. Jorginho's big mistake cost them getting 1-0 behind. But Chelsea didn't give up of course and increased their attempts more. They finally scored the equalizer by a penalty and Jorginho made up for his mistake too. Chelsea missed some important chances also. And Manchester United were nearly getting ahead again after Mendy's big mistake. But at the end, the result was 1-1. It is still a good result for Manchester United and a bad one for Chelsea.

Is was indeed an interesting match. Chelsea was lucky enough to get a penalty kick which Jorginho probably scored. Although, Chelsea dominated in the game, and also had a total of 6 shot on target. But, Manchester United defense was strong. However, this is Chelsea's third drawn match so far, and despite drawing they are still leading on the standings. Nevertheless, the draw reduced their points gap between City to 1 point, which means they have to play their next matches more carefully.

[arallmuus]

Btw I think today manchester united is still led by carrick and not by rangnick

Yeah it was still Carrick and he made such a bold move by choosing Sancho instead of Ronaldo as the starting lineup which turned out to be a good decision because Sancho scored. Sancho played two games so far with Carrick as the manager and scored two goals, this is great and atleast Sancho wont ended up as the benchwarmer

Chelsea - Manchester United match is over. Chelsea, who shot 23 shots, caught the draw with Jorginho's penalty goal. Manchester United must be very lucky to get 1 point from this match.

Very lucky huh? In fact Manchester United almost win the game if it wasnt for the penalty though. Yeah right Chelsea dominate the game and against all the odds, Manchester United scored the first goal. I honestly thought that at the best case scenario it will be a draw with 0-0 for both sides
