Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Oluwa-btc]

Chelsea have had such a good start in the Premier League after there distressing performance just before the world cup. Its definitely what Graham Potter would have wanted after the series of loses Chelsea was previously met with.

The way the are able to work there ball right from there halve over to the Bournemouth side and find the back of the net is just something that could have been done from training.
First goal started with K. Koulibaly until it got to Havertz who eventually scored. Second goal started right from Keppa until Mount got a set ball of which, he perfectly curved into the net.

They've been in charge of the game so far but now, its a question of if they could keep it up.

Firstly, should I begin with the team selection ? That was a good pick from Graham Potter tonight from the defense line to midfielder's and to the attackers.
Kepa wasn't busy at all today, maybe a bit but not too much, credits goes to Thiago Silva for being so calculative defending making those neat interceptions for Chelsea, and to Curerella. Feeling bad for Recce James, it feels like he wasn't completely healed from the Injury completely. Prayers are for him ans hope he gets back on his feet again.

Zakaria defending and attacking at the same time, impressed with how he helped with marking and ball retrievals, Jorginho was just too quiet, it feels like he was not part of the game not until that foul on him. Mason was brilliant tooooo.

Too Sterling, Pulisic and Kai Harvertz who all helped made that attacking moving good game, but I was obvious how poor the midfielder's played during the second half. Bournemouth pressured Chelsea to an extent but still couldn't find the back of the net.

You are right. more possession of the ball is not a guarantee. but it seems MU can put it to good use. and the temporary score is 1-0 in favor of Manchester United. what a quick goal. But the game time is still long. it's still early enough to rejoice. But I feel confident with MU for this game.

Manchester united is already leading Nottingham with 2-0, we are just in first half and Manchester united have being able to secure two goals already, I don't think Nottingham has anything to do again, Manchester united is in possession of the game and the are still leading with two goals, I knew it will be a easy win for Manchester united, but sometimes you don't have to underestimate some clubs. We are still in first half, I know anything can happen since they still have long way to go, but am now confident that Manchester united is going to win the match and am still expecting more goals from Manchester united.

yeah that's right. what Manchester United needs is to maintain the consistency of their game. and improve accuracy in taking advantage of the opportunities that are obtained. because actually from the last match before the break, Manchester United always had many opportunities. But Manchester United's front line players have always failed to use it properly. So opportunities are always wasted.

Their match has now entered the final time in the first half and they have scored 2 goals through Rashford in the 19th minute followed by Martial's goal 3 minutes later.
I think this can be proof that they are playing quite well at the moment.
They seem to be playing more comfortably even though Martinez is not reinforced in this defense.
Conditions are now very good for Manchester United. They are back on the right track and ready to move up the table if this result does not change and I think these 2 goals can save Manchester United even though there is still a second half but I am pretty sure they win.

I also expected more goals in this game. because from the start my prediction was at least 3-0 to win Manchester United. The goal from Nottm Forest surprised me a bit. But fortunately the goal turned out to be in an offside position. And if Manchester United wins in this match then Manchester United can secure the 4th position in the current standings.

2 matches (chelsea vs bournemouth & MU vs nottm forest) today seem to be going well for bettors, Chelsea won 2-0 over Bournemouth with goals from Havertz and Mount in the first half, we..just waiting for the final result of MU vs nottm forest match.

Good start in match for Man United, full control for now

that's right, MU completely dominated the match from the start. Rashford performed very brilliantly as expected today, he made 1 goal and 1 assist in the first half, and in the second half looks like there will be more pressure from MU, it looks like we will see MU win more than 2 goals in this today match.

Rashford MOTM

[LUCKMCFLY]

yes, of course I am also quite sure of Arsenal's superiority. West Ham is not a threat to Arsenal. because West Ham this season has been terrible I think. West Ham has even lost 9 of a total of 15 matches this season. Precisely Arsenal's match against West Ham will only make Arsenal get more and more points. because I'm pretty sure Arsenal will win. and can get full points from the match.

On paper, Arsenal should have easily won this game against West Ham. West Ham is only 2 places above the safety limit of the relegation zone, and with Arsenal's excellent performance it is their opportunity to add to their collection of points and keep their distance from Manchester City who continue to stick to them in second place. So I think 3 points will be obtained by Arteta's team.

Well, regarding Arsenal with City, they are teams that are relatively the strongest, well I see it that way, however, even though Wet Ham has done badly in their series of games, it is very difficult or it usually seems difficult for them to go to win against an Arsenal that has good expectations, but regarding the surprises that world football has given, especially in the World Cup in Qatar, I still don't think I could say much about West Ham, what about where they beat Arsenal? ? Arsnal is a very complete team and I think they have a good chance of being the strongest team and competing with Man City, they have everything to do it.

So far, Brentford have been able to score a goal for Spurs... If Spurs don't change the game, they will lose this match,

Tottenham has had the habit of struggling in games but still ending up.to win it this season, the one goal Brentford has scored against them does not settle it for Brentford. Even if Brentford scores again to double their lead, it does not settle this game against Tottenham. Harry kane has a record of scoring on boxing day games, so we are strongly expecting a goal from him. Also with the return of Dejan Kulusevski, Tottenham's chances of winning are also high.

Tottenham really struggled in this game all through the first half,  their performance was poor . But kane broke record by scoring the first goal, after the first goal was scored by kane their games started becoming impressive.  It is a nice play from Tottenham for equalizing the game because it would be a lose for them.

finally Tottenham managed to score an equalizing goal in the 71st minute through Pierre Hojbjerg with this goal avoiding Tottenham from defeat.
Tottenham struggled a lot in this game and that I think is very reasonable because the opponent they faced was Brentford who played quite well this season against a top Premier League team and they did it again in this game.
with the final result 2-2 I think it's fair enough for both teams.

Well, Tottenham is a team that is getting better and better, I don't know but at one point it was going through a very bad time, in fact there was a lot of speculation until they changed their technical director, and this is something that can happen, however If they tied, it's because they aren't so bad, after this vacation, after a controversial World Cup, it's good that they have this type of resource to recover.

I am one of those who think that Tottenham can give one of the best surprises for this season, I believe that many errors could have already been completely fixed and it is better, because if they improve the level of football will increase.

'Brilliant' player is so happy at Tottenham, he doesn't want to leave at all - journalist

Tottenham now fully expect Harry Kane to sign a new contract at the club amid interest from German champions Bayern Munich.

That is according to journalist Ben Jacobs on YouTube, who says that Spurs are relaxed about Kane’s situation despite no resolution over a new deal yet.

Perhaps Kane’s plans are linked to Antonio Conte’s future at the club, which is an even more live issue, with the Italian trying to get the backing of the club.

2 matches (chelsea vs bournemouth & MU vs nottm forest) today seem to be going well for bettors, Chelsea won 2-0 over Bournemouth with goals from Havertz and Mount in the first half, we..just waiting for the final result of MU vs nottm forest match.

I didn't have quite enough time to view the Chelsea game but, I had time for the highlights and read through few commentaries on the match and it seems Chelsea was on fire when they faced Bournemouth earlier today. They've been very disappointing in the games prior to the world cup opening and this would be same way to lift off the pressure for Chelsea and Graham Potter.

For Manchester United, it seems to many as though, Ronaldo did them a favour by leaving the team, a team that he himself helped built under Sir. A Ferguson. Manchester United had an early 2 early goals of which, Rashford was actively involved. 1 goal and 1 assets for Rashford.  His pace has been a major help in his performance this season, his beginning to catch everyone's interest once again.

[Prince Malik]

Just like Chelsea Manchester united ended the first half against nothingham with two goals ahead scored by rashford and martial, nothingham scored a goal by the end of the end of the first half but unfortunately it was from an offside, Manchester united sounds very good in this match and i expect at least one more goal in the second half

[Marykeller]

Impressive performance by Chelsea in the first half with 2 goals scored by Havertz and Mount. Even though the points gap between them and Arsenal as the leaders of the standings is still far away, this will be a good start for them in the early half of this season. Bournemouth couldn't do anything in this match, apart from their possession of the ball which was at 30%, they also didn't have many chances, only one attempted shot and one shot on goal. I'm sure in the second half Chelsea can score again without a goal from Bournemouth.

Chelsea needs to be more clinical in their finishing. They played incredibly well in the first half, but because James was injured and couldn't play in the second, they played horribly. Chelsea prevailed in nearly every game James played. Chelsea seems to lose or draw a match if James is not featured in the match. If Chelsea wants to top the Premier League table, they must find a better James substitute.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Difficult to draw conclusions about the last round. However, Newcastle United and Arsenal have done good business. However, the final result of 3-1 was not as easy as the result suggests. Arsenal were behind until the 2nd half, but when the 1-1 fell it was a matter of time before the 2-1 and 3-1 fell. Manchester United are currently leading 2-0 at home, a better start to the break than after the summer, when they lost twice in a row. They will easily win this game. Chelsea achieved a business victory without having to put in a huge effort.

[MinoRaiola]

Chelsea will play Bournemouth tonight, it's a good opponent to break their losing streak. In different tournaments, Chelsea's losing streak has reached 4 losses in a row, this is a very bad streak and Potter needs to correct the situation. Manchester United will host Nottingham, for ten Hag it should be an easy opponent, so I think that Manchester United will score two or more goals and expect a goal from Rashford.

Hey, you got both of them right. Chelsea played a good 2-0 game and Aubameyang played also. Manchester United still have 30 minutes to play and Rashford really scored in the 19th minute. It looks like they are playing free without Ronaldo. The 3:0 almost happened, there's another one coming. Too bad for Nottingham Forest and all the money they spent at the beginning of the season, they are still 19th in the league.

[Pokapoka124]

I became less interested after the first half of Arsenal and West Ham but I was later ginger by the first equalizing goal by Saka after they cancel that of Nketiah at beginning of the match. That became a motivation for Arsenal and Martinelli had the second one until it reach Nketiah, Arteta would be proud of his decision by making him replace Gabriel Jesus. If Arsenal could win their match against Brighton, it will even catapult them further away from Manchester City that has been a competition but the last I checked, Arsenal lost at their home to Brighton, I hope they do the same time to balance the points if they win in Brighton's home.

I think Manchester City has lots to do but seeing that they have 2 outstanding matches to meet up with New castle, they still have hope and the more I look at the upcoming two matches against Everton and Leed United, they will surely secure that 6 points easily without any doubt.

Arsenal were not clinical in the first half of the game against West Ham yesterday but they played quite ok because the dominated the game but couldn't take their chances but I'm much happier with the second half, I just wonder what Mikel Arteta said to the boys that they snatched the victory in the second half, scoring 3 goals within 16minutes.

[Balmain]

Chelsea have been losing points in their last four league games. After coming back from the World Cup, they got a nice win in the league, which they really needed. There were problems with scoring goals. On the second goal today, Mounth scored one of his favorite goals. It didn't seem like much of a problem, Chelsea had a very enthusiastic and result-oriented style of play in the game today. They get points next week, because their opponent is Forest, the next week's work is really up to chance.

Good results for all the big teams in the premier League this resumption. Manchester city will surely be able to keep up with this tempo. Arsenal, Newcastle, Chelsea, Manchester United and even Tottenham Have all been able to avoid defeats.

The goal from nottingham forest that was disallowed for offside would have given them hope of getting an equaliser before manchester united scored to make it three goals. Rashford is a gem that Manchester United must preserve else another club will come for him.

the second half in the last minute Frederico Rodrigues Santos scored for the third, manchester united won 3 goals without reply and that made manchester united get 3 more points to secure their position in 5th place in the english league standings

[Zilon]

Tottenham is in big trouble, they will have to step down from the top four if Manchester United win their next game against Wolves.  Tottenham has played 16 matches, they have won 9, had 3 draws and 4 losses while united has played 15 matches with 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. If United defeats wolves, which is so much possible, Tottenham will have to move to fifth position and Liverpool will be patiently waiting to see if they flop further so they can also replace them.

Tottenham are fun of playing under pressure. They concede goals in the first half then try to get a comeback in the second half, and sometimes they get lucky to win the game. Conte has to wise up because Big teams are coming with a different force and the table is going to take a different shape which is already happening, currently Newcastle is Second on the table.

Manchester United are in the lead right now because they have 1 game remaining that hasn't been played and of course this is very good for them if they can manage to win later, especially since their current condition is that they are only 1 point away which makes it possible to overtake Tottenham later.
A striking score for Manchester United in today's match and of course this is something that is quite good for them amidst the many doubts that occurred when Ronaldo left.

Chelsea will most likely be seven by the next round since they have an easier opponent, Nottingham, comparing to the opponent of Brighton which is Arsenal!
Liverpool should normally win vs Leicester so they could maintain their position.
Interestingly, Chelsea will play 2 games vs City in January, 5 and 8 in EPL and FA Cup respectively. In these games, we will see if Chelsea is healed or not

[bitpotter]

Manchester united games have started and this is the first game after Ronaldo left the club left see if they will perform well since they feel  ronaldo was their problem because sincerely manchester united did not perform well from the beginning of this season and man u is already leading with 2 goals which is a good sign of man u resuming powerfully good luck to them but I know man u will win.

I'm not really surprised by how Manchester united managed to secure this win against Nothingham Forest. They played very well from the start, they were able to control the game on the pitch and Nottingham forest didn't seem to be able to do much. With these three points, Manchester United will step forward a little.
