Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Igebotz]

I will choose Chelsea because the dependence of Manchester United on Bruno Fernades is well known. Solskajer with 4 goals to lead after the first leg in Europa League still abused Bruno's energy. I doubt that Bruno can bring his best to the match against Chelsea and if Bruno can't.

Bruno is the ambitious type of player even at his worse day he always try to make something out of any game he featuredg, is going to be a difficult game for Chelsea they have been keeping a lot of possession but they are still toothless, they have been poor in the final third since Tuchel took charge. But I'm backing Chelsea to win it a risky but worth it

Chelsea are going to play a home game against Manchester Utd this weekend. Chelsea are the 5th with 43 points and Manchester Utd are the 2nd with 49 points. Chelsea (4W 1D) and Manchester Utd (2W 3D) both didn't get any loss in the last 5 games in the league. Chelsea have lost only twice in their home games (6W 4D 2L). Manchester Utd haven't lost any of their away games (8W 4D). In the last 5 head-to-head games, Chelsea won once, Manchester Utd won 3 times and 1 game ended in a draw. In this season, Chelsea drew with Manchester Utd 0-0 away on Oct 24, 2020.

Missing player(s) at Chelsea: Thiago Silva (uncertain - 2 goals)
Missing player(s) at  Manchester Utd: Daniel James (uncertain - 3 goals), Scott McTominay (uncertain - 4 goals), Édinson Cavani (6 goals), Donny van de Beek (1 goal),        
                                                       Paul Pogba (3 goals)

This will be a very interesting game surely. We will definitely see a competitive game. Because Chelsea have also been very good with Tuchel for weeks. Manchester Utd need to win not to get away more from City. But I think Chelsea won't lose this game. 1X double chance is a good option.

Tottenham have a really terrible form despite their solid performance in the Europa League against Wolfsberger in both games. Burnley haven't been losing for 4 games. But I think this could be the time Tottenham will be the winner and pull themselves together in the PL too.

It has indeed been a poor form for tottenham lately; but if they are unable to convincingly beat relegation battlers Burnley at home; then there is a big crisis for Jose Mourinho and the spur sides. They are slipping away from champions league and europa league spot; and if their form does not change; they could be off the mid table by March

At this point I think Tottenham players are just tired and knowing the ego Jose has he will not play certain players because of one or two reasons or maybe he simply doesn't just like you, we have seem this happen several times which is why I admire the Peps rotational game type, which is yielding results! At this point I think Spurs has to much on their plate and the best they would do is direct their resources towards the Epl inspite the champions league being the more lucrative one.

Man City vs West Ham - Home win
Chelsea vs Man Utd - Both teams to score

Little double for me this weekend

[darewaller]

I agree it is still too early to ensure Chelsea will qualify for the next round, because there is still a second leg where Atletico Madrid could beat Chelsea
by more than one goal. Because Chelsea's position is not completely safe. However, Chelsea will not bear the burden as big as Atletico Madrid in
the second leg, because they have won in the first leg. Regarding Olivier Giroud's goal, I must admit that it is very beautiful goal, because not many
players can score goals with an overhead shot.

Giroud is the player for moments like that goal. He is striker who contributes very well for the team tactics like Roberto Firmino in Liverpool. They are not strikers can be assessed simply from total goals they score.

Did you recall that French national team won the World Cup with Giroud as their main striker? He played all matches but did not score a single goal in that tournament.

That kind of "forward" is hard to estimate, because they are not strikers like many big name guys, not even mbappe actually because he is not full on target man striker and because of that it is really hard to estimate the value of those kinds of players as well.

In short Giroud is just a player that you have to watch to understand how valuable he is, anyone who has seen him play on 2-3 games he played well would know that it doesn't matter "where" he seems to be playing, because he doesn't really play in just one position, he plays anywhere he wants, could be wings at that moment, could be striker, could go back to midfield he plays wherever he is needed at that moment. This is why I think Chelsea is very lucky to have him. For me it is an easy choice, Chelsea will definitely go to next round because ATM has been on a bad roll lately and doesn't seem like that will stop.

I don't understand what's going on with the players and the Tottenham club. The club under the leadership of Mourinho started the season well and the fans of the club already began to hope for high places, but then the loss of points began on empty space and two clubs from Manchester are fighting for the title, Tottenham continues to slide to the middle of the standings. I understand that Mourinho was not expected to immediately win the championship in the first year, but we did not expect such results either.

It happened to almost every team in EPL, even Liverpool and Arsenal suffer the same thing but with 13 more matches anything can happen at this point. It might be hard to get to top 4 but Tottenham can easily make it to atleast 6th

but then the loss of points began on empty space and two clubs from Manchester are fighting for the title

Manchester United barely keeping up for now. Gotta admit that Manchester City is a beast this season

I understand that Mourinho was not expected to immediately win the championship in the first year, but we did not expect such results either.

Im not sure what you are trying to say but Mourinho has been coaching Tottenham since 20 November 2019. He took over last season before the league was stopped because of covid19

City gonna host for 4rth of the table West Ham.
Although the Hammers are doing really great i really don’t think that they can make a stop for Manchester City winning record.
Iexpect City to get the 3points while keeping a clean sheets.
West Ham have the lowest Goalscoring record in top 6 and City have a defence as their strongest point this year so that is why I can't see West ham getting past City defence.

I have the same opinion with you that Manchester City should have no trouble beating West Ham, and will continue his winning streak. Because
Manchester City's winning streak was not obtained by accident, but indeed Manchester City's game is very good, almost all City players are in
their best form and have good morale. Moreover, the quality of Manchester City's players is much better than West Ham, although West Ham has
also performed quite well this season. But it will definitely have a hard time beating Manchester City, so City will get 3 points in my opinion.

Look at the statistics, your analysis can be true, at this time City are really in their top performance, in fact, it is possible that in all of the remaining EPL matches City will unbeaten.
I'm more interested in the other two matches:
Chelsea vs Man United and Leicester vs Arsenal the results of this match will greatly change the standings from 2 to 5.

City is just too hot for any EPL team to beat, they are in top form with their full squad intact, West Ham might have their own game plan too but I don't think they are threat to City title aspiration.
The other 3 top four contenders will be very interesting, the likes of Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Leciester will have to slug it out to be top 4 possible.

I will choose Chelsea because the dependence of Manchester United on Bruno Fernades is well known. Solskajer with 4 goals to lead after the first leg in Europa League still abused Bruno's energy. I doubt that Bruno can bring his best to the match against Chelsea and if Bruno can't, Manchester United will play without their key maker.

As far as I know, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford only played just half the game against Sociedad in the Europa League, even Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire were not played at all. Maybe this is a strategy prepared by Solskjaer in order to face Chelsea. By resting some key players, they are expected to be more fit against Chelsea.

Both teams come from European clashes and both teams are somewhat tired with Chelsea having spent more energy than United.I would bet in a draw or United double chance because I think they should be in a better physical condition than Chelsea as they played more relaxed against Sociedad this Thursday.

The premier league has been really unpredictable this season, and has thrown up plenty of weird results. But yes, I agree with this. The one (near) certainly in every round of fixtures is that Man City will win. West Ham are playing great, and would beat most teams at the moment... and yet City will likely just swat them aside.

Imagine if City get Messi this summer

It's obvious that it is a strategy because the Europa League match was easy for ManUtd, regarding the qualification. Ofc Solskjaer and perhaps any other manager will rest his key players. Besides, Premier League has more value for all the English teams.

*Since being in the hands of tuchel lately, it looks like Chelsea has never lost...
It can be said that the confidence of the Chelsea players is good. as a Chelsea fan of course I hope my team wins against man utd tomorrow. Chelsea won with one goal I think that is enough.

Chelsea's performance under Tuchel has ofcourse been good; but so far theres nothing spectacular about Tuchel conservative type of football and i think it will be exposed this weekend against Manchester United; Ole ofcourse is missing key outlets of players; but it won;t matter as i predict a Manchester United 3-1 victory at the Bridge.

Against Chelsea I think Manchester United are expected to play at full strength and win the game. But I think Chelsea have a chance to take the full point away from Manchester United tomorrow because Tuchel has also prepared his players for that game. It will be a difficult game to predict and if you have to choose then I think Chelsea is the right choice.

Today, I want Manchester City to win in the 26th EPL match vs West Ham United. Manchester City are the leaders at the moment and maybe they will play quite freely without any pressure. Even so I hope they don't let West Ham United players score and hope the record will continue. West ham United will definitely struggle to keep up their hope of playing at UCL next season, I think they'll work hard for that.

[BIT-BENDER]

The first half of the match between Manchester city and westham ended and it's a draw, westham has held Manchester city through the first half making them have less chances at goal, Manchester city main threat was the goal, I think city should be aware that in there pursuit to win westham can get chances at them like they did to equalise, I think city will win though.

For me it is an easy choice, Chelsea will definitely go to next round because ATM has been on a bad roll lately and doesn't seem like that will stop.

Giroud is the player that feels happy when he connects the whole team and did not care much about scoring. I don't say Giroud has too bad finishing skills. He is not a speedy striker but he contributes very much on the tactic of the team he is playing for. Additionally, in big matches, he knows how to score golden goals. Said previously, his contributions are not only come from his goals but also from his passes and connections.

As far as I know, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford only played just half the game against Sociedad in the Europa League, even Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire were not played at all. Maybe this is a strategy prepared by Solskjaer in order to face Chelsea. By resting some key players, they are expected to be more fit against Chelsea.

I think the Man Utd. coach can let Bruno totally be free in that match or on the bench only. 4 goals in the first leg is more than enough to let Bruno to have a good rest.

Both teams come from European clashes and both teams are somewhat tired with Chelsea having spent more energy than United.I would bet in a draw or United double chance because I think they should be in a better physical condition than Chelsea as they played more relaxed against Sociedad this Thursday.

You can be right but my discussion is about Bruno and how Man Utd and Solsa abused his power too much. In the last season, Bruno shown bad performances in late matches and it looks that Solsa did not take any lesson from it.

Final score 2-1 Manchester city is firmly at the top of the standings  then Chelsea is ready to replace West Ham in 4th place, 2nd and 4th place  is really interesting to wait for
Man City continue to record perfect results that bring them closer to the title I don't see any other team trying to catch up with them.
