Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[hahay]

According to Schedule, it looks like the EPL will still continue even the Boxing Day tradition doesn't seem like it will be postponed. Considering that the covid outbreak is currently on the rise, it seems that it would be better for the EPL to also get a game break during the Christmas and New Year period, so that at least the players will have a better recovery. I'm just worried that this covid issue will continue to escalate because of the unstoppable matches but yeah, I can only hope so because it seems that currently with conditions that are not okay it would be better for the EPL not to run a Boxing Day match.

I was really happy to see that the Tottenham v Liverpool match was played yesterday. Because it was a really delightful match. Both teams made a great effort to gain a victory in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Liverpool were playing like always but Tottenham's performance was really great compared to before. They were playing like so eager to win that they would have achieved it too if they didn't waste important chances. After Liverpool got a red card, they could have done it actually. By the way, the red card for Robertson was fair but Kane also should have been shown a red card after his very dangerous tackle.

Antonio Conte still remains unbeaten after the two-two draw with Liverpool.
I'm still wondering how Liverpool will cope with Salah and Mane.
Replacement of Naby Kieta and Matip won't be much of a hard deal.
Can Origi contribute to the Liverpool's game like Salah ?
They'll both be missed.

There is no way that Origi can do the same work Salah does for Liverpool. Origi is not a very consistent striker above all else. I must admit that some of his goals really saved the team. But if Klopp puts him in the starting eleven regularly, I don't think that he can be very productive for his team. Salah is not a forward but he is playing like more than a forward. He is really carrying the team and he is one of the irrevocable players for Liverpool now.

Both of players have different type that Origi is typical pure of striker and Salah can play with different positions such as right winger or striker although Salah better but Origi also important player for Liverpool moreover for January Salah and Mane will play for African Cup so Origi probably will be a replacement of them and Minamino or with Firminho so if Liverpool didn't find new players then he probably will playing regularly until African Cup finished

Origi and Salah are both great strickers. Origi's consistency in Liverpool lineup will decide if he can actually take up Salah's role. Would we say klopp was doing a test run on him and he helped saved the day against spurs. Salah has been consistent for Liverpool for a long time and his team mate mane who does more of his assists understands his game too well. Origi could do same if he plays too often

However Moh Salah's offer for his price in his next contract has yet to find an agreement between him and management, as a result the current management is approaching Dybala to join Liverpool in the future.  Although it's still just a rumor so we might only guess whether Moh Salah will stay together or not.  Maybe the impact has not been seen at this time, but on to the condition of the next team.

Salah is a great striker but Origi is not. Moreover, Salah is far from a striker because he would prefer to start at wings and move to the centre are to make shots. He does not like to move inside 16m50 area only. Origi is such a player and he is a striker but not a good one.

He failed to find his position in Liverpool, even failed when Firmino lost his best performance. Origi scored some important goals for Liverpool but he is far from a great striker, a bit far from a good striker too.

Some COVID numbers have been emerging from the PL lately - rumors say that 23% of PL players are still unvaccinated - 16% have not received a single dose and additional 7% have received only one. There were 90 COVID positive players last week, which is the biggest number so far.

The PL is seriously considering playing behind closed doors again, but so far they plan to continue with the current schedule whenever possible.
Games are being cut where they could - FA cup will not have replays in 3rd and 4th rounds to make room for postponed fixtures.

Taking into account the information from the news, it can be assumed that vaccination does not work in any way against the new strain of the virus, which means there is no point in counting the percentage of vaccinated. It looks like we need to come to terms with the fact that the next wave of the virus will affect everyone, but as I heard it affects health less strongly and is easier to carry, so there is a hope that this time the consequences will be easier for all areas.

When I look at the match before, they were great without the player you have mentioned. Wolves I admit were great last night, Ruben Neves (a player who Chelsea has interested in) also was able to build an attack that make Chelsea's defender most concerned. So from what I know, Chelsea has been weak on the center field because of losing the substitution, Chelsea must concern about that line if still want to be on the champions track.

Yes it might be because of a different opponent, and you mentioned that Wolves did play well.  But at least if all three players perform they have Kante who is not tired to run and keep Chlesea's midfield. Then Lukaku and Warner could be substitute options to break chelsea's sterility. In addition, even Covid and injury seem to make Chelsea weak because there are not many player options for Tuchel.

Tottenham have been making me impressed by their great performance in the recent times. It seems like the decision to bring Antonio Conte to the team was a right one. Now, they have a much different game plan. They have started to play more offensively and this helps them win or get very close to win their every single match. For example, they played good enough to beat Liverpool but Liverpool were lucky then. They managed to secure a 2-2 draw even though they were bad at defending.

Conte presence as the new coach of tottenham certainly gives a little hope to the tottenham fans who at the beginning of the season saw their team slump under Nuno coaching, although not yet 100% tottenham can be consistent but I see that now the tottenham game is starting to get better and it's proven if their are able to hold Liverpool drew yesterday, but unfortunately now Tottenham are starting to lose the sharpness of Harry Kane, so that it makes Tottenham front line quite worrying, besides that the number of Tottenham players who have been affected by Covid makes them now have to be willing to lose WO in the Conference League.

Conte is probably unfolding the best in Tottenham and having Harry Kane perform his best against Liverpool after a long while Is restoring hope to Tottenham fans. Nuno had difficulty leading the team at the start of the season and Kane wasn't giving in his best as supposed. If conte could stick to his game plan the might finish near the top of the league

Tottenham performances have indeed started to improve since Conte arrival, but I have not seen if Harry Kane returns to his current best form, from the 14 matches that Kane has played in the league, he has only scored 2 goals and this is quite a drastic decline from a striker who was the top scorer last season, currently tottenham are in 7th place and have 3 games postponed, so if tottenham are able to spend this season consistently enough of course the top 4 position will be theirs .

Even though it was Tottenham and took the lead with Harry Kane's goal, I personally don't think Tottenham have been good under Conte because even in that game at least Liverpool can still dominate the game. Basically Conte still hasn't made many changes for Tottenham, so of course Tottenham will still be difficult to be in the top four at the end of the season. I don't understand, it looks like the Tottenham squad still haven't got a good chemistry even though they are old players, not about the coach but hopefully Conte will really make a big change for Tottenham over time.

Although the offer was still ignored by Moh Salah, yes, for me, it was natural for Moh Salah to agree unilaterally. Many things will be considered by Moh Salah to advance to the Africa Cup of Nations later. Besides, the offer to Dybala was not given, but for anticipation. In the future, after Moh Salah completes all the tasks as the main key for Liverpool players, there will be considerations from the Manager to encourage Moh Salah to agree on the contract that has been offered.

If Tottenham continues to play so well, then they have every chance of ending the season in the first four, of the standings. Another question is that they probably won't be able to compete for the championship with Manchester City this season. What will happen next season is a different matter, because you see how often Conte changes clubs. And it is not clear how long he will be the coach of Tottenham.

Conte has brought a change in the game from Tottenham. although managed to hold Liverpool 2-2, but Liverpool at that time did not play full of 11 players. because there was 1 red card given to Liverpool.
but indeed judging from the game, now Tottenham looks better. We can't judge the result yet, because it's still changing regarding the victory that Tottenham showed. and some of the disadvantages.
but thinking about seeing him get into the top 4, I guess it's going to be tough. because there are still Man United, Arsenal, and West Ham. which I believe will be more aggressive in getting the winning points.

[_BlackStar]

Actually I really hate to say Liverpool had to draw in the previous game vs Tottenham. I thought Liverpool played pretty well the whole game where the players pushed the Tottenham players into their defence a lot, but damn it didn't win us out. If previously Liverpool was only 1 point adrift of Manchester City, now City are 3 point ahead of Liverpool. But luckily Chelsea also drew in other match.

It seems that Salah did ask for a sizable salary increase from Liverpool in his contract later, maybe it's fair for him to be able to make a lot of contribution to the team. But it may make sense to try to get a replacement if the offer doesn't make sense based on management's decision. Dybala is a good player, but I think Salah deserves much more for Liverpool at least for the next 2 to 3 seasons.

Liverpool will play their 19th Premier League match this weekend, it's a good opportunity to get 3 point after previously being held to a draw by Tottenham. Leeds United will be an easy opponent for Liverpool to beat with a big score.

Conte is a very different coach from Nuno espirito,he is more experienced, have achieved more, a big name in the game than Nuno,so they are things he can do that Nuno can't, when pep guadiola came to Manchester City it was said that he doesn't not stay in one club for a long time but that has not been the case, I think Conte loves the spurs project,he has better offers or let me say better club coming for his services but he choose spurs because he thinks if he can win a trophy or take them to top four the people there won't forget about him, and he needs a club that we love and respect him.

Leeds could be one of the most unlucky teams in the Premier League now. Because their recent fixtures respectively were against Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal. They conceded fourteen goals in these games and scored three goals. And their next fixture is going to be against Liverpool in an away game. There is another huge loss on the line for them seemingly. Liverpool have had a great season so far. They stumbled against Tottenham last and they'd like to make up for it by destroying Leeds here I assume.

The calendar of games is really tough for Leeds, on the other hand, if now they have tough matches, then before that they had periods much easier. And they themselves are to blame for the fact that in those easy periods they did not gain the normal number of points and, as a result, are now near the relegation zone. I don't think Leeds is really in danger of being knocked out, but if Newcastle does start to rise from the bottom it will turn into a real danger.

I agree that Leeds aren't going to be relegating from the Premier League at least for this season. They are having a bad period nowadays of course but they would leave these bad days behind sooner or later. When it comes to Newcastle, they are one of the favourites for now when it comes to relegating from the league. But the next transfer window is nigh. And their future will be depending on signing good players in this transfer window.

The relegation favorite this season in my opinion are Norwich City, Watford and Burnley. I didn't put Newcastle United there because they still have a chance to improve their performance if in the transfer window they manage to get some good players. They don't need to buy too many talented young players, they just need to bring in experienced players who aren't used much by their old team from Serie A, Premier League, Laliga or Ligue 1.

Some PSG players seem very likely to be recruited by Newcastle in the middle of this season considering that there are a number of good players who might be able to help them fight for survival in the Premier League next season. Some of the names I mean are Icardi and Rafinha, they seem suitable to be brought in.
