Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[uchegod-21]

I have been watching Everton vs Chelsea and it has been a tough game I must confess. But I didn't like the fact that Chelsea is still leading in this match. It is not like Chelsea deserves the leading, they are not playing anything more than Everton. It will be a fair game if this will end in draws.

Yesterday also, Arsenal did not deserve the 2 goals win. But in all, it is clear that top 4 and top 6 clubs might find it difficult to enter top 4 this season. Men are playing good football this season. I am patiently waiting for Manchester United and see what will happen.

Kane has lost that scoring form a long ago. But he is still crucial as he lays off with great assists and has that great precision and vision to find his players while in at attacks and counters which also brings a lot of contribution from him. Conte knows what he is capable of and importance in the team.

About Chelsea, they don't have goalscorer right now and can see why they are struggling. Unless they sign a striker, I don't see them as strong contender for PL this season.

I see the opposite of you that in my opinion, Chelsea is a strong competitor in the PL this season. The current Blues squad does not have a single sticker that endangers the opponent's goal like Didier Drogba in the past.

Kai Havertz who became Thomas Tuchel mainstay on the front lines, basically he is not a pure Striker but a Winger. However, in reality he can be a good alternative amidst the lack of performance of existing strikers like Timo Werner.
Unlike Tottenham Hotspur, which has Harry Kane as a target man.

Thomas Tuchel other option lies with young Albanian striker Armando Broja if they don't sign a pure Sticker before this summer's transfer window closes until September 1.

Congratulations Arsenal won, but I am not very satisfied with the team's play. Despite winning they struggled quite a bit and their game was evenly matched with Crystal Palace.  Most recently, Arteta appointed Martin Odegaard, who performed well enough but he didn't make the right decisions when he had chances and wide firing gaps. He should have dared to kick into the goal. But many were disappointed he malh gave the pass, besides that he also held the ball too much for too long.

Not many changes in the second half, Chelsea still leads with a score of 0-1 to date. The second half was almost over, already into injury time, so the win marked the debuts of Sterling and Cucurella as their new signings.

What surprised me today was Liverpool's failure to win their first game of the season at home to Fulham. Liverpool played well but they fell behind to a Mitrovic goal in the first half. Nunez scored his second goal for Liverpool's official match and the score was 1-1, but unfortunately Mitrovic scored another goal which Salah paid for in the end to make it 2-2.

[minairia3]

A disappointing result for Liverpool. They did win possession, but couldn't do much to win the game against Fulham. Mo Salah, who usually makes dangerous penetrations, can't move freely in this match and Luiz Diaz was also rendered helpless. Fulham looks so confident playing at home and it's undeniable that they're playing pretty well. I think if Jurgen Klopp plays Darwin Nunez as a starter then the result would have been different. Isn't that a bit odd, if Liverpool doesn't maximize the striker they've already bought at such a high price?

Fulham's defense is good and confident enough that it can weaken some of the other Liverpool players who can't move more freely, although this is not a not too bad result still, I'm disappointed because Fulham is a promoted team to the EPL this season and was able to hold a draw against the giants Liverpool because will most assume Liverpool will win.
Well, I don't understand why Klopp didn't play Darwin Nunez as an early starter whether he believed more in Firmino but in fact, Darwin Nunez was able to score goals and he could do well at the start of this season.
This will be the subject of Klopp's evaluation going forward after the draw.

I have to say it was a worthy goal to start with at Fulham. It was a great header. Mitrovic showed really good physical strength and jumping ability to score the goal. And I have to admit that the penalty conceded by Virgil van Dijk was quite unlucky. The Fulham attacker did not manage the ball well enough to score a goal. It was more likely that he played the ball to get the penalty. Otherwise, Virgil van Dijk could have defended it.

Darwin Nunez played really well. He is showing really optimistic signs. Already proving to be a successful transfer for Liverpool. At the end of the day, I'd say Liverpool won a bit rusty. As soon as the rust fades away they will be able to play better.

With what i'm seeing in the premier league after the first game so far today,Some big teams will find it difficult to get to the top this season, imagine Liverpool drawing Fulham in their first game of the season,this really surprised me because Liverpool's odd against Fulham was very small,but they ended up seeing a draw,and I must confess the way Fulham played today,if they can continue in this kind of form,I think they will surprise people this season.
Totthenham won their first game as well as their bitterest rival Arsenal who broke their every first match jink yesterday with a 2-0 convincing win.The pressure was much on Crystal palace that they scored an own goal.

Fulham played an amazing match against Liverpool and deserved to win it,Liverpool with a lot of luck scored that second goal. Also no body is commenting how Aleksandar Mitrovic played he scored two goals and made a penalty for their team and breaking the ankles of Wan Dijk

[EdenHazard]

Ffffiuh .. it was a tough game against everton , chelsea started the season with 1-0 away from home and that's not convincing enough to become a title contender , but hey at least we don't get a draw unlike poor liverpool , we were lucky for real!

Everton played it really hard under frank lampard all the players looks had extra energy dammit.

[Alisha-k]

This is very much unacceptable from Liverpool to start their season with a draw and a big congratulations to Fulham they seem very prepared for the English Premier League. I think all top teams now needs to focus they might be a change in the balance for who wins the league but we still have a lot of matches to be played. Tottenham was the team I was very impressed with after going down and had to come back to secure the win, they are the type of team I can say would do very well.

Liverpool has not won against Fulham in the last 3 matches. I thought Liverpool might be able to win the first match of the season. But I would say they are very lucky to get 1 point from this match. Fulham's gameplay was better than Liverpool's throughout the match. If Liverpool wants to win the title, their performances and match tactics need to improve a lot. I doubt if they can even qualify for the Champions League if they perform like that.
 

Liverpool had a less than impressive performance today and to be honest, I never imagined a draw. They would have even lost if that goal had not come in from Salah. Let's hope today's performance doesn't follow Jurgen's men because at this rate, it may not bode well if they plan to top the league.
 Kudos to Fulham as they managed to hold Liverpool to a draw and I knew if it weren't for a momentary lapse in judgement, they would have won the game. It was the confidence for me

[karabiber]

Arsenal has already shown that they are a ready team in the friendlies. Arsenal was a bit messy in the second half but they knew how to win. Arsenal has been meeting expectations for the last two years with the quality of the squad, the decisions of the technical team, the atmosphere and youth spirit. Arteta gives hope. I haven't seen such a good and young player community together in a long time. Arsenal's offensive line shines like a star. Martinelli and Saka took their chances at a young age and proved to be Arsenal's wing forwards. Martin Odegaard is chief of the offensive side. I hope we will start watching Arsenal very soon, which excites us while watching as in the old days.

The premier league game opening is a little bit tough for big team like Liverpool that narks out a draw against Fulham, although the results isn't a better one for Jurgen Klopp as he needs to tops the table presently, afterall there would be enough teams that are willingly to compete for the new season. Games results were battling and brilliant to some extent, like Tottenham trashing Southampton 4 goals to 1, Fulham drawing Liverpool 2-2. Chelsea managing to beat Everton 1 nil. I really enjoyed every bit of the premier league.

Tuchel uses Kai Havertz as false 9 and it has worked for them but it doesn't brings much goals unless wingers are tough goalscorers. I haven't seen much goals from Mount and Sterling lately but yeah they can score some. If they want to score goals then they need to bring out Werner or Broja who are good strikers or maybe Michy but still they are lacking a strong striker. The reason why I said is because right now they don't have goalscorers as I see but maybe things changes on later but it will be tough to keep on winning games without a good striker.

Fulham played an amazing match against Liverpool and deserved to win it,Liverpool with a lot of luck scored that second goal. Also no body is commenting how Aleksandar Mitrovic played he scored two goals and made a penalty for their team and breaking the ankles of Wan Dijk

It's a shame actually when you see the replay of the foul that led to a penalty there but apart from that, in this match Fulham appeared extraordinary even though they were indeed a promoted team but being able to hold Liverpool was really extraordinary for them.
It would be very good if they continue like this although I think it is still a little difficult to maintain.

Mitrovic was absolutely a threat to Van Dijk, it's unbelievable that Liverpool drew the match losing two points instead of three, before the match all the major speculators and soccer analysts had predicted an easy win for Liverpool, however Fulham were fantastic and equal to the task played brilliantly, Nunez came on from the bench and rescue liverpool to settle for a draw, the final result is an indication of no small team in EPL again any small team can create an upset when playing the big teams thus should never underrate those clubs I believe many of such upset is set to be created in many subsequent matches.

[Jody.Drummer]

Most of the first matches have been run by several teams there and the results are quite good for Arsenal and Tottenham at the moment because indeed they managed to score a win here but it is interesting to see Liverpool who have to be willing to share the points and I appreciate Fulham's play in this match.
Now what I'm waiting for is the City and MU match for the big teams because indeed they are also worth waiting for how the result will be.

[jakdanyel]

Almost all of the matches ended up with expected results for me. I was just surprised about the result of the Fulham v Liverpool one. Because like most people, I also waited for Liverpool to beat their opponent and start solidly. But they just had some serious difficulty in doing this. The team I loved to watch the most today were Tottenham. They really destroyed Southampton 4-1 even though they were 1-0 behind first. Tottenham have given good signals for the season.

For me Fulham was just on another level they didnt let Liverpool play their game and played really offensive in Liverpools box. Liverpool needs to learn a lot more to deal with this pressure. Hopefully Fulham continues to play like this in the upcoming matches

Antonio conte side is one that is raring and ready to go this season, with an emphatic and perfect victory in their first league match of the season. The biggest thing that caught my eye was the spurs bench side which consists of Perisic, Moura and Bissouma. Quality side that is.

You probably forgot to mention Chelsea name. Chelsea also recorded an early win in the season by beating Everton. The big teams are indeed interesting to watch, especially as we will be rewarded with beautiful games by the star players who were brought in this summer window. Manchester city will play tomorrow in their first match against Westham and manchester united will play Brighton. at the start of this season aston villa had to swallow their first defeat against Bournemouth, Newscatle also recorded a pretty good trend at the start of the season with a win.

I will be waiting for Haaland to make his EPL debut with Manchester City tomorrow and I hope he doesn't disappoint in his first appearance.

[RILWAN]

With the way Liverpool match game ended today with a draw with further, this shows that this season is going to be tough for big clubs that did so well last season. Manchester City will have to seat up in the coming match so as not to start on a bad note like Liverpool.

[dezoel]

It is definitely a weird result to see Liverpool getting a tie against Fulham, but it is the first week, we shouldn't judge them right away. Plus they lost Mane, who was a very important player for the team, so there could be some weeks where they are having trouble adjusting to play without him, they do have a lot of amazing players still, and they will stay being an amazing team, just because Mane is out doesn't mean they will be terrible.

But, it just means that they will have a bit of a trouble adjusting for a while, after a while though they will be used to playing with this roster and they will be doing a lot better in the long run for sure.
