Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

Fulham won this match after a lot of fighting. I was surprised to see Fulham's game. Fulham performed well at first but they played a little bad game in the middle of the game. But Chelsea got 1 red card in 58 minutes and became very weak. And  Fulham took advantage of this opportunity to win the match. It was a very good game between the two teams.

Joao's exit in the second half was very good momentum for Fulham and it was proven that even without Mitrovic in their squad, they were still able to do a good job against 10 man Chelsea.
On the other hand, Chelsea was really depressed after losing 1 player because with that they were even more pressured and continued to survive even though they failed to make the score better for them.

In addition Manchester United have had a successful run in big home matches in the league so far. This is another one and I think Manchester United's chance of winning here is not low at all.

Manchester United plays Manchester City at home once more. True, they've had some good and comfortable wins at home this season, but that shouldn't make them complacent in their match against Manchester City. They are a worthy opponent to face, and they must take the match seriously if they are to move up the table. Manchester City is also on the verge of passing Arsenal for first place, and they will not take this match lightly.

Felix's poor debut distracted everyone from the fact that Chelsea's disaster continues: after the break, Chelsea have one win (against Bormouth), one draw and three defeats in 5 games. I used to be sure that Potter had time to work, but now I'm not sure anymore. If Chelsea lose to Dortmund then they will most likely sack him.

Felix must have ruined his debut, even if it was not on purpose, but the referee did him justice by showing him the red card. Now is not the moment to indulge in blame games; what happened is now in the past. Can Graham Potter still be expected to stay as manager for a longer period of time if he fails to put together a winning team in the next few games?

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Since being appointed coach, Graham Potter is really in doubt. Even the majority of Chelsea supporters and pundits say that the decision to sack Tuchel was a bad one, which seems true after Graham Potter's initial failed campaign to date. Chelsea are too big for Potter I don't think so but maybe Potter is not a good match for Chelsea who have such high expectations of his body as a top team.

Graham Potter doesn't seem comfortable with his situation at Chelsea either, but he has signed on to this big project as his first step towards becoming a great coach. It's a shame he hasn't been able to prove much, but he will still be defended.

I think the problem is not entirely in Graham Potter of course he has the capacity to become a coach in the Chelsea team because he also has a track record
I think one of the reasons is that the players in the squad are not entirely what he wants I mean there are some target players who have not been brought in
I will prefer to see Potter staying at Chelsea until next season and let him get the target player.

I also think Felix's performance was really impressive. The red card left a really bad impression on him maybe but I still don't want to criticize him very harshly. The sliding tackle wasn't on purpose surely. I mean it wasn't due to his anger etc.. He must be very regretful for causing his team to lose this match when they had the potential to win instead. I will be expecting him to be back much better. It was just unlucky for him. He can even return with a goal in his next match after seeing his effort in his first match already.

I don't think Potter will drop him from the starting eleven after the incident as well. He doesn't have so many options already and Felix is one of the best options. Maybe we might see Fofana while Felix is suspended.

Felix's performance was good against Fulham, but he didn't have many minutes to prove himself useful up front for Chelsea. Several times I saw him threaten the Fulham goal, but Bernd Leno is also in good form making a few saves. As for his imperfect debut, I don't think Felix deserves blamed for Chelsea's loss. He did what he should even though he didn't really have to commit the offense.

[Furious 7]

What hurts the most is when you have your first match at a club and get a red card, Joao Felix must have felt the pain of a red card for his new team and this defeat also seems unacceptable because Fulham from so many matches against Chelsea they rarely won, their last victory came a long time ago.
Graham Potter's position will be increasingly difficult at Chelsea and what he said a while ago is true this will be his hardest job at Chelsea https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/12784388/graham-potter-chelsea-job-hardest-in-football-after-ownership-change-says-under-fire-manager

Apart from the feeling of guilt he will also definitely get some criticism because regardless he can be said to be a factor when Chelsea lost this game.
But it has happened and he must not let this drag on because he still has a lot of work to improve performance.
Precisely this should be used as a lesson so that he is not too hard so that he can improve himself better.

[Falconer]

Yes Joao Felix is ​​playing well but after getting a red card on his first debut I don't know how far he will go with the Chelsea squad.
Graham Potter again implemented the formation of 3 centre-backs in the match against Fulham even though we know that several Chelsea players are currently injured if Graham Potter installs 4 defenders then there is a possibility they will not lose the match because playing with 4 defenders makes the performance of the Chelsea team look experiencing a bit of an improvement when many players are injured rather than relying on 3 center backs.

What's wrong with Chelsea, should I blame Felix or should I blame Potter for the defeat?
I think all the players have to take responsibility for the loss, and Kepa Arrizabalaga who failed to anticipate the ball was also very disappointing.
Chelsea are in the worst of times, that is a fact at the moment. They lost a lot of points which they should have taken perfectly, but their form is not good.

I don't want to blame anyone at this point and I would prefer to see what happens for Chelsea. Potter couldn't sit back and just keep silent, it would threaten his position because in his hands Chelsea looked even worse. He needs to do something but I think Chelsea would rather sack him than give him more money to spend on the players he wants.

[Piesel]

Leeds are a good team and this season they have been scoring so decent amount of goals. Some of these were scored against top PL teams so they shouldn't be mistook as an easy opponent. Only thing that lets them down is their defence as most of the times they aren't able to hold down to the advantage in the game. On the other hand, it will be interesting to see how Emery selects his defence and what message does he give to them in order to hold Leeds attacks.

If Leeds play at home, of course it can be considered unfortunately this time Leeds played away so they need more luck to win.
Besides Aston Villa is not a weak team sometimes they cannot be predicted they once defeated Chelsea and Tottenham.

Aston villa is no a mach to Leicester United and if you have being following Aston villa recent performance you will see how there were able to best other stronger clubs to be ahead of Leicester in the league table.

Even though football can be unpredictable and Aston villa led to the match with just 1 goal difference, since the first half but bjt there is no possibility for equalization as there have their defense locked in to walk away with the 1 goal.

He did what he should even though he didn't really have to commit the offense.

It was indeed a grieve mistake on the part of Joao Felix but, you can understand the pressure he must have been in to have started a game after only just arriving. No much training with the team yet, no friendlies and yet, he was already featuring featuring in a home match against Fulham. It was going to be a lot of pressure for him with so many expectations on his shoulders and him trying to prove himself worthy.

Let alone for the red card, he was good enough for me, his touch of the ball was almost perfect and on most times, managed to guide the ball just where it needed be. Dropped a couple of balls for K. Havertz but, his conversion is just bad.

If somehow Fulham gets a positive result today , we might see some big changes again on the Chelsea managerial side but until then , Chelsea should be aware that Fulham are on a great run lately and 3 points today will bring them just 2 points behind Tottenham and european spots  . For Chelsea , is kinda 3 points or nothing today as I don't expect Chelsea to play for a draw and players knows that another negative result will make the road towards UCL spots even harder...if that is even possible for them anymore.

Yes, Chelsea need only win to climb to 7th in the table. But this win will not allow them to get higher than Fulham, because Chelsea have a smaller goal difference. In addition, they won't be satisfied with a draw, because the goal difference will leave them in 10th place, which looks terrible... On the other hand, they will not go lower than 10th place in the table in case of defeat

Chelsea for this season is totally not up to be among the title contenders due to their inconsistent performance this season. They should look ahead by retaining their position and possibly fight harder to go up incase any of the teams on top slip.  They should strengthen their squad with this transfer window and work on building team spirit
As Manchester united, Chelsea and Liverpool seem to struggle on the league, a team with younger players, pace, dribbling and passing skill is the trick the teams on top have in common, this is what Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester united has lacked in common. Just saying.

Any titles this season are out of the question, they won't be able to... But to try to get into the Champions League zone to play there next season can try, I think this is more than a feasible task. And I think there should be no other tasks at the moment, if only to strengthen the team. But I think fans will remember this season for a long time.

[lalabotax]

This is just ridiculous how can it be? Your first game and you're already having a red card? I thought he was suppose to come rescue Chelsea from this poor form and Joao Felix the main man is having a red card.

Yes, of course this was a very disappointing and devastating moment for Chelsea. They lost 2-1 to Fulham and one of their players was hit by a red card. This is really a result that was not expected by any club. Chelsea's condition is getting worse and worse, this is the worst season for Chelsea. No matter how much we talk about this, Chelsea still has not been able to rise again.

Update Aston Villa vs Leeds United
                   2        -      1
in minute 90+4
It is still not known if Leeds United is able to make a similar score or not. But, Aston Villa needs only to strengthen their defense to maintain the score and be the winner of this match.

many people don't realize that even a great coach will not be able to make a team great if they don't have quality players, I think you are right that Potter is not completely wrong and only time can make Chelsea better, namely by bringing in several other new players and overhauled everything to make Chelsea a great team, especially since the UCL top 16 match will soon begin

Kai Harvertz is a lazy player I don't know why they make use of his service for attacking
J Felix was a better player yesterday until the red card
The winner for Fulham is the fault of Kepa he should have maintained his position

[Woodie]

Looking at how stuffed the lower half of the premier table is looking, at this point all teams in this territory are far from safe, and it was entertaining to watch a match between Villa and Leeds battle it out for a few points away from relegation and Aston Villa as expected managed to hold onto a narrow win which saw them move 10 points clear from the red zone but the drama is certainly far from over as the have played game more than the others.

Tomorrow we shall be looking forward to the Manchester derby which should be a real test of Utds true form.

[RILWAN]

Aston villa really hard a good outing tonight as their beat Leicester united in the match, but am afraid the premiere league is getting a stage where no club is safe.

But the match I look out to is Manchester City vs Manchester United tomorrow.

It will be the 1800th match played at Manchester United
Bailey and Buendia help Aston Villa achieve the three points against leeds Emery having a slow start in the premier
I see Manchester City has a chance over Manchester United but united still wins.

Well after fulham adding more misery to chelsea ...

The fans completely mad at potter and start chanting to have potter out , nobody can resist a bad performance ... bad team play and if you looking at the game , potter seems has zero vision ... zero strategy applied , i see no potential in him but an ordinary manager that handling one of the most succesful club in the world.

Coach is not really the problem of Chelsea currently, the board needs to look into the quality of players they have at Chelsea now. The defense line is flopping, the mid field is missing the presence of Ngolo Kante, the attackers are not consistent, they need to explore the transfer market when the transfer window opens. Even the best of coaches can’t make out anything with this quality of players.

I think the coach is the problem he has one of the best players in the world and he dosent know how to combine them well i think sacking Tuchel was a big mistake he should have had more time and Potter should have stayed in Brighton where he had everything.

[Velvet78]

Despite the statistics Aston Villa didn't have much difficulty in winning this game by 2-1. They got 2-0 ahead first and Leeds found their only goal quite late in the game. Leeds had even more goal attempts than their opponent but they were very bad at finding the target as well. Emery is still continuing to do a good job with Aston Villa.

If they go on like this they can finish the season in top 10 as well which would be amazing for the team. I don't think they would get much close to the 5th position for the Europa League ticket.

The problem with Chelsea is that their technical team have lost it totally even though the club spent quite a good amount of money in signing new players ahead of this season.
But the coach has not hard the free will to use the players at will without the fear of being sacked by the management if anything goes wrong but am sure if the club management could give the coach a good chance and motivation it may transform the overall performance of Chelsea this season.
