Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Raflesia]

As far as we are aware, Arabia has made Ronaldo a transfer offer. Since then, I have not heard any details about whether or not Ronaldo accepted. I really do not think Cristiano Ronaldo is willing to accept this offer, no matter how lucrative the offer looks. I think Cristiano Ronaldo is still having to think about his legacy. That would be a little foolish in my opinion. Because he already has a prestigious legacy. He does not have anything else to prove to anyone. I think he should aim for money. However, I know he will do otherwise.

And yes I also know that a lot of plastic Arabia fans are about to turn up from now on. And it is true that any product that has Cristiano Ronaldo written on it is almost guaranteed to be sold very quickly.

Don't rule out the possibility of this, especially with a fairly fantastic price for the salary offered by Al-Nassr for Ronaldo at this time even though he is still silent because the focus is still in the World Cup.
On the other hand, I just saw social media and Fabrizio Romano now spoke up about this so that this would be more exciting even though it would be held back until the World Cup was over and the transfer would be reopened.

I'm a little curious why Everton still keep Lampard as coach but yes, maybe because Lampard hasn't even been a year coaching Everton so maybe Everton still keep him or maybe there is another reason. Even though Everton's position is currently very close to the relegation zone which is certainly a cause for concern, because during the last few seasons Everton have only been struggling not to be relegated.
Supposedly, if Everton wants to continue away from the relegation zone, then at least recruiting a coach who has more experience will be good at least to stay in the middle of the standings.

Because when Everton was still coached by Carlo Ancelotti before, the reality is that Everton can still compete in the middle of the standings. But after Carlo Ancelotti left Everton, it was like a big setback for Everton.
Because so far after Everton has been coached by Lampard, Lampard has still not been able to provide consistent results. Because on several occasions Lampard was also able to bring Everton to good results but unfortunately, Lampard still couldn't get the team to get consistent good results.

On the other hand it is actually very difficult to bring this club now. Lampard hasn't been there long but indeed seeing from his development they are still stagnant even when Lampard is there because their performance is still erratic.
On the other hand, there are a number of things that I regret, especially for selling their core players like Richalrison, which actually makes it even more difficult for them and there are lots of gaps for Everton.
I don't expect much because most likely if Lampard is still maintained this will only make them not far from where he was last season.

Has any player in the Premier League been seriously injured after played for their country?

AFAIK, there is Gabriel Jesus who were injured during Cameroon match and risk to not continue playing in World Cup games. There is uncertainty about resuming the first matches with Arsenal after the break end..
Hopefully there will not be more players to risk knee injuries like him.
Otherwise in other leagues, there is many players who were injured mainly Neymar but it seems to be a mild one.

[EdenHazard]

Most premier league players who went to represent their countries at the world cup are all struggling to remain fit and avoid any possible injury since the premiere league will resume anytime some around January.

That applies to all players from all leagues not just in the Premier League all players have the same risk however some players took a break early
because they had already been eliminated like Manchester City almost all of its players have been out of the World Cup so they can more relax
Has any player in the Premier League been seriously injured after played for their country?

Well so far there are only few players get a serious injury from this world cup edition who have to come back fight in the premier league as most of them got minor injury making them begging to force to play in every match of the world cup , that's pretty full of risk.

And the player with high risk for me it's pulisic who taking the injury day by day especially after the heavy collison in a match against iran , son heung-min as well who played in a bit head injury risking himself for the country.

Manchester City got some unexpected results and this caused them to get away from Arsenal even more. But I still don't think this will change anything about Manchester City. It is true that their main goal is to win the Champions League title this season. Because they still haven't achieved even for once and this is one of the biggest opportunities for them with a squad like this.

But I don't think that their concentration on the Premier League will be affected negatively in the long-term. I think the title run between Arsenal and Manchester City will go on until the end which would make us happy about watching an exciting season. Hopefully Arsenal can win the title to see some different teams doing it.

If they had won Brentford that game would have helped close up the gap
The prayers should be that they don't come back Injured
Kelvin  Bruyne has been seen loosing ball which has lead to opponents scoring them, I hope he comes to City better.

Tottenham must be really worried about probable injuries in the World Cup now. They have very important players like Kane and Son still competing in the World Cup. If even one of these players gets injured their attacking productivity can be affected really deeply. Son was newly starting to recover his usual performance at Tottenham.

Kane is even a more important player for them now. Because he is their most scorer in the league with 12 goals. They can't afford his absence after the end of the World Cup.

[nurilham]

Harry Kane's biggest problem is that Tottenham needs him much more than Kane himself needs Tottenham. Yes, this is his native team and the player receives very good money for his loyalty, but also this loyalty does not convert into titles at the club level in any way and there are big doubts that this will happen in the coming years. Therefore, I think that the best option for his career is still not another extension of his contract with Tottenham on improved terms, as there are already rumors about this and still try to change the team. Despite the fact that Antonio Conte constantly hints unequivocally and sometimes speaks directly about strengthening the squad, I do not think that the owner of Tottenham is able to allocate the necessary funds to win titles.

The real problem is Tottenham always tries to prevent him from leaving. When Kane wants to leave, they bring a top coach like Conte, and they set an expensive price for Kane's transfer fees. It is quite annoying, it caused Kane's performance very poor in the early season, he feels frustrated with Tottenham and has no motivation to play. But then he tried to accept the fact that he should stay in Tottenham, it will be another problem if his performance is getting worse. I assume not many big teams interested to sign him again if he played badly for Tottenham. However, as you said, it will be difficult to expect to win a title with Tottenham, so the best solution for Kane is sure to leave. In my opinion, next year Kane should leave Tottenham, before he reaches 30 years old. He doesn't need to wait until his contract in Tottenham expires.

Son wasn't having issues with any part of his lower body
If you go back to check correctly he did eye surgery before the world Cup
Some of the midfielder's they have are world class the Denmark midfielder is already back to help boost it

Does Newcastle only rely on motivation and strategy as Leicester City did a few years ago?

I asked the same question to myself also but it doesn't feel like this will be a similar season to the one Leicester became the champions. Newcastle have a much more difficult season ahead of them. Arsenal and Manchester City both are having a solid season now. Maybe Manchester City seemed a little inconsistent recently but I don't think this will affect their general performance badly. Arsenal and Manchester City are most likely to be left as the only contenders for the title at some point.

It will be a difficult path for Newcastle this season with this squad. They need to keep the motivation level as high as possible. Maybe they might add some players to the squad in January to stay strong for the rest of the season. The current performance level deserves the Champions League definitely by the way.

First of all, I want to appreciate Newcastle United for improving so much. I honestly do not know if it was expected of them by anyone. Well, after the money started coming in I think people did expect this type of improvement. But at least I did not think that they would be in the top four positions on the table after 15 matches. That is certainly an achievement in recent times for them.

And to answer the question, I think that they do rely on motivation and strategy. But at this point, I am willing to say that they have a few good enough players to back up the strategy that they are making which was probably not the case in the recent past for them.

Howe's strategy in managing teamwork and bringing players to St. James' Park in transfers last winter was very good and this saw them experience a sizeable improvement in terms of performance.
On the other hand to say money is not wrong if money can change anything in this case because Newcastle is a new example now after Manchester City and PSG in Ligue 1.
But it will be very surprising for them to be in the top 4 straight away this season for me because I still thought from the start they would only finish in the top position but not in the top 4.

They are currently no longer a small club with how they have been playing this season
Theyb will fight hard for the top four but will not qualify
Arsenal City Tottenham and United will Maintain the first four position

Has any player in the Premier League been seriously injured after played for their country?

wait? what?
Manchester City sent 17 players to the world cup and a few days ago only KDB and Guendogan had rested earlier because they failed to bring Belgium and Germany to qualify for the play-off phase and today Zack Steffen, indeed the USA, was also eliminated.
Only 3 players have rested and there are 14 more Manchester City players still competing in the world cup, are these the majority? hmm

I know about this but I still have the feeling that some of the big clubs who fell asleep at the start of the season will start differently after the break which makes me not so sure Newcastle are in the top 4 even though their chance is still there until now.
On the other hand, even though they currently have quite good players, I personally feel that for the individual quality of the players, they are still losing, although I realize this is not an individual but a collaborative problem, but this can also be a bit of an obstacle, I think.

The four teams will indeed maintain a good position this season until the end, but I also believe that Newcastle will put up a fierce fight to get a good position starting in the second half of the season. Because Newcastle's appearance and toughness this season have begun to be seen by the way they play, which has also begun to change, so that good achievements may be obtained by Newcastle this season.

[Bobrox]

I also think Bruno Fernandez is happy and enjoying his time at Manchester United and won't be open to moving from United just yet, maybe in the future a deal like that might happen but for now it seems very unlikely atleast not in this January window so Real Madrid will have to sort for other options in that position. Bruno Fernandez is having a good time in the world cup and catching eyes of top teams already.

Recently have interested rumor from Real Madrid to signing Bruno Fernandez after impressive performance on World Cup I don't think have positive respond from Fernandez, he was happy in several year with Manchester United although have change manager still include in starting eleven on every Manchester United matches. Unfortunately, Real Madrid is most top team in European and rejected for joining there become little mistake with large opportunity get trophy with Real Madrid than keep extended in Manchester United.

Looking on level competition, Real Madrid still play at Champion League and Manchester United right now participants on Europe League, I don't think become excited for Fernandez accepted Real Madrid as the new team for his career.

[lixer]

Ronaldo could still play in a great team, it is not going to be that much great, and I know that it will take a while before he could find the proper offer, but for the time being I would suggest not to sign a 2.5 year deal, just sign a deal for end of the year and when the year ends he could go somewhere else.

The problem is his age, nothing else, he is too old and that is the thing that creates all the problems for him. If he could end up with some good results for half a year anywhere in the world, USA or Arabia or Qatar, in the end he could come back, he just needs to show the world that he could still play at a high level and score very easily, and those teams are beneath him.

Even every one is going with different views and thoughts about Cristiano Ronaldo abilities, but now one thing is sure at the age of 37 he needs to be some calm which is surely important for his rest of the career now after exit from Manchester United we have too many rumours about his career with recent Saudi Arab offer is surely one of the best in soccer history, but surely this is not favourable for him because with this he can gain enough money but skills and performance could be decreased because we all know Saudi Arab soccer is having not quality which we have in Europe and with this he can end his career with really poor way which is never been ideal for the player like Cristiano Ronaldo.

I am optimistic about the fact that Newcastle United will finish in the top four this season with the way they've played so far.They are the only team I fear most this season,and when Arsenal will face them,it's really going to be a tough battle between two top sides.Manchester City is a strong side with a good coach,but I think the premier league clubs are beginning to master their pattern of play,and have known how to stop them from scoring.They have a top attacker in the person of Haaland,but very soon,England defenders will will put him on goal drought.
It will be my joy to see Arsenal win the league this season.

The more I reason the whole matter,  the more I believe that Newcastle United will be able to remain in the top four of the English Premier League. I say this because I have studied the playing pattern of Newcastle United and one unique thing about them is everybody is working hard, everybody is playing very good football, there is no one man that is in charge of the team. Even if any of the good players are injured there are other players who are ready to take the lead and fight for Newcastle United to the man at thet top four

If we look at the history of Newcastle's matches this season, more precisely from the start of the season to the first half. So of course I also think the same about Newcastle's advantage. They are now in 3rd place in the standings. and they can be ranked 3rd in the current table because they deserve it. even Newcastle have beaten Chelsea, Tottenham, Aston villa and everton. and can hold Manchester united draw. and Newcastle are more consistent in maintaining their best performance in every match they have played. we don't know what will happen when this season goes on. But I also think the same that Newcastle will be able to stay in the top 4 for quite a while. But I doubt if it's until the end of the season.

I think the title run between Arsenal and Manchester City will go on until the end which would make us happy about watching an exciting season. Hopefully Arsenal can win the title to see some different teams doing it.

With most chances they are having not enough interest into Premier League because their target for this season is clearly Champions League but still lost before break against team like Brentford is surely signal for them to improve their quality and performance which is important for them if they want to stay into good situation for the end of this season on high note.

Arsenal are clearly having good advantage and now with the gape of five points they are feeling better and trying to improve their squad strength which is important for them if they want alive into top spot at the end of this season.
 
Haaland's injury is also having some negativity on their performance even many feeling they are not having any problem with injury but things giving their reaction as they have Haaland on bench for the foot injury, hopefully this break will give some time for changing their strategy and having improved results for their title race.
