Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Nheer]

There is a lot of doubt about Chelsea... They had a terrible last season and even if the new coach can immediately build the game of the whole team, it will be very difficult for them mentally... Of course, I would like to see Chelsea in the top of the standings again, but I am afraid that the crisis may not be over for them...

Although we cannot guarantee a flawless season, we can predict an improvement in teamwork and performance next season.  I have a lot of faith in the coach and the new players, and what I enjoy most about them is the way they play. They play with passion and seem hungry to play, and that's the kind of mentality I want to see at Chelsea. Although they are young, their passion for the game shows that they will only get better with time.

It is safe to conclude that Chelsea doesn't have many problems in the attack area with the presence of Nkunku and Jackson because they are both excellent players who would greatly benefit the squad.

Friendly match
Arsenal vs Man United 0-2 and penalty 3-5 Man United won again.

The match was played in America, at the MetLife stadium. Bruno and Sancho scored 1 goal each. Uniquely, even though Man United won, there was extra time for penalties. It turns out that this is an agreement between Ten Hag and Arteta as a mental exercise in the conditions of many spectators. Although this is pre-season at least this can be a warning for Arsenal, their opponents have improved a lot. They have to prepare better, so as not to make the same mistakes for next season.

Many people were saying pre match was nothing but i have different opinion regarding it. The fact that if arsenal has been using its best formation against manchester united. It sounds non sense to call the result form pre match as a non important match.
Look at arsenal's composition. Arteta has been playing havertz, rice even timber but non even a single goal came during the normal time. It seems like that arteta's expectation was too big for the new player.

In my view if arsenal shall try to evaluate its performance again. Arsenal was not even able creating a single goal in the friendly match like this which must become the main concern for arteta. Arsenal played with its best squad.
It doesn't matter how people keep making excuses if arsenal was losing against MU caused by the team was not playing seriously. It must be noted that if arsenal was also very bad in this case. I would like to give appluase for improvements that happened with united. That's sad to see oanan has not started his debut with manchester united.

Especially for next season, I would not expect anything significant from Chelsea, because it is too early to expect perfection in such a short time for a club that is struggling from its slump. Apart from all that, on the other hand, I see that Pochettino's arrival has brought changes to Chelsea, it seems he is very serious in his work, and indeed, on the other hand, what makes me believe in him is that he is quite capable in terms of experience managing Premier League clubs. Some of the changes that have been made by Pochetiino, one of which is by removing some of the key players they have such as Havertz and Kovacic, and then successfully bringing in Jackson and Nkunku. Both are believed to be Chelsea's mainstay players on the front lines, Nkunku is a quality player from Leipzig and he has managed to become the player who scored the most goals in the last two seasons while at Leipzig, and then Jackson has managed to provide a significant performance in the previous squad, namely Villarreal and has succeeded in helping Villarreal finish fifth in the standings. I hope it will not be too difficult for both of them to adapt to Chelsea and that everything will be as expected by the manager.

Rice play in Arsenal isn't that good like when he was in West Ham, his performance is just like player that worth €20-30 Million. For Havertz, he was not good in Chelsea and Timber wasn't played in a tough league. Well, this is just their first debut, they still have a time to improve before the Premier League started.

I hope Rice isn't a wrong transfer by Arteta, Arsenal is rarely spend a lot money to sign a player.

I think every team in the Champions League needs to follow Manchester City. Teams should think about what kind of tactics Man City is applying. I hope the rest of the teams will perform well this season. I want the Premier League to become more competitive.

A very exciting match took place between Chelsea and Brighton with a final score of 4-3 for the victory of Pochettino's troops. Even though this is a pre-season match, I'm still speechless with Chelsea's performance in this match, they don't look like last season, who were always careless and even always had trouble scoring goals. But in this match, we can see that Mudryk finally scored his first goal for Chelsea, even though it was only in a pre-season match. However, if we look at the footage of his goal, it is very clear that his passing duet with Nikolas Jackson made this goal great.

Chelsea actually had the upper hand with many goals, but Brighton also didn't want to be outdone by this landslide score and they managed to cut the difference in numbers. I'm still curious about whether Chelsea will be able to maintain its current performance or if this will only be temporary. We should look forward to the performance of Pochettino's squad in the EPL next season.

Finally, I can see how most expensive players sign by Chelsea last season Mykhailo Mudryk can celebrate after scoring goals on pre season match. Its looks funny because need waiting until several months later to see with Mykhailo Mudryk scoring goals and make celebrate. unforgettable for Mykhailo Mudryk because he was long time not scoring goals yet for Chelsea although against Brighton Albion as pre season match its enough for him how to celebrate goals and prepare for next season.

I don't think have been final formation from Pochettino, its still pre season matches and Chelsea have three friendly matches and possibilities with many composition player change before preparing final squad in Primer League games.

That's right, I also feel quite happy that finally one of Chelsea's most expensive signings last winter managed to score his first goal and this certainly made Mudryk a little more confident than before. If we look at the next pre-season schedule, Chelsea will face Newcastle and this is one of the matches that should be watched to review the development of each team's strategy. Indeed, Pochettino certainly still has another strategy to be able to bring Chelsea to a better level and maybe he has a mainstay strategy that he has never tried before. I can't wait to watch this game and whether Chelsea can still win consistently or not.

Rice looked like a critical transfer for them. Arteta must have trusted him so much that he was so insistent on his transfer. I think he felt a pressure on him because he transferred with big money. But if not, it would surprise me. I hope he plays well without pressure and lives up to expectations at Arsenal.

[piebeyb]

Pochettino seems to be able to bring big changes to the Chelsea squad. Even though his decision to sell many great players from the club invited various comments from football fans and from football observers. But now he can prove that he can make a strong Chelsea squad with the players he keeps at the club.

But for me Chelsea's performance in that match was not strong enough to compete in the Premier League title race. Their back line still looks quite weak. Because actually Brighton players don't seem too difficult to penetrate the Chelsea defense. Well, this is only a pre-season match, so of course Pochettino is definitely still not finished setting the best strategy for Chelsea. Because the real strategy will definitely be shown in real matches when the season starts later.

~~

Amidst the excitement of the thrilling match between Chelsea and Brighton it is undeniable that the team improved performance has left fans speechless. Mudryk first goal for Chelsea in the pre season was a moment to cherish especially with Nikolas Jackson crucial contribution in creating that brilliant goal. While it is natural to wonder if Chelsea can sustain this level of play the EPL next season will truly test their mettle. The anticipation for Pochettino squad is high and despite the pre season success the final formation and player compositions are yet to be settled. It is funny yet unforgettable to see Mudryk celebrate knowing it will be several months before he gets the chance to do so in official league matches.

I think this pre-season game can be a note for Pochettino to concoct other strategies and stay consistent with what they played last night which was quite impressive in the eyes of all his supporters, it won't be long before the EPL starts. That's why I think Chelsea really have to prepare themselves to rise from the slump from last season which knocked them out of the top 10.

Chelsea this season did not take part in any championships such as the UCL and other European championships so they can focus on the EPL so this is a good opportunity to improve their position and chase UCL tickets next season by becoming part of the top 4 in this season which will soon be held. I'm not a fan of Chelsea fans but seeing them beat brighton is quite better than last season since Pochettino coached them.

Pre season match result is not really important for every teams because they want use any formation and give chance for new player adapt well with new teams. Its not depend with best formation using because many manager not priority have to win in pre season match. Actually for Arsenal, they have several new players from Kai Havertz and Declan Rice still need time for adapting with new teams although have experienced in Primer league competition.

Loss from Manchester United in pre season match give chance for Arteta have to solve which line get trouble, regarding last season Arsenal performance in Pre season match not quit well but in domestic league success lead 2nd position than Manchester United with impressive performance in Pre season match but difficult have top performance in domestic league.

The condition of the Manchester United team is not very good. The management of the team should identify the mistakes of the team and revamp the team, because the current performance of traditional team Manchester United team is very poor I think.

[harapan]

Chelsea will be a very strong team next season. There is something in the way the Chelsea team are playing , you can see that they want to show that they are back. There are some particular good youngsters in Chelsea club like Jackson and Cesare Casadei. Jackson and Mudryk link up well and that led to Mudryk's first goal for Chelsea.

It's only the pre-seasons. It will be difficult to predict how a team will play only from the pre seasons. The season is long and requires a lot of consistency for a very long time. We've seen all these before. Even when Mudryk first signed for Chelsea he was explosive. In his first match against Liverpool but along the line he just didn't reach his potential. I know Mudryk is a good player because you can see it in the way he moves and plays. Maybe it was lack of  confidence that made him look badly last season or because the whole team was bad.
I have my doubts for Pochettino. I really hope I'm wrong and he comes out good for Chelsea.

They played very well and were a threat anytime they went forward. Sancho can play as their striker if they do not get a striker, but if they can get a striker, it will be good to complement this very balanced Manchester United team.

Sancho as a striker is the worst thing that can happen to Manchester United's attack. Not because he's a bad player but even at his best he won't be able to play the center forward role. He likes to come in from the wing while on the run. Rashford can play the center forward and if Sancho picks up form he will play the wing.

I was unable to watch the live match between Chelsea and Brighton yesterday but later had to watch the full replay and I must say that Mauricio Pochettino indeed knows what he want and what he's doing when he let majority of Chelsea first team players leave the club.
The connection and understanding between Nicolas Jackson and Mykhailo Mudryk was simply out of this world and if they can work together and improve that link up, then Chelsea will certainly be a team to beat come the new season

I think every team in the Champions League needs to follow Manchester City. Teams should think about what kind of tactics Man City is applying. I hope the rest of the teams will perform well this season. I want the Premier League to become more competitive.

How is it possible for another team to follow manchester city? The players owned by city were actually different compared with its competitor. No reason for another club to follow manchester city. It's about the competition between so many clubs. Im guessing that if so many big clubs will come with their new faces after recruiting so many players. Other club just need to believe in themselves. They have their own best play and city has it too. It's kinda weird if another club will try to copying city's strategy.
The quality from the players said a lot in this case. The fact that if some clubs have been fully preparing its team for the upcoming season. City will face tougher opponent next season.
It's very hard to guess it before the opening match has not even started. EPL is just getting better and better anytime. There's no need to feel doubt about how competitive this league next season.

The condition of the Manchester United team is not very good. The management of the team should identify the mistakes of the team and revamp the team, because the current performance of traditional team Manchester United team is very poor I think.

I want to know clearly what the bad management of the Manchester United team means, what do you think it looks like? because what we saw last season they won a Champions League ticket, then under the leadership of Erik Ten Hag the pattern of growth was quite good compared to the previous coach who was only able to lead Manchester United to the European League. Therefore you need to clarify again the bad team management? or rather not very optimal? maybe it makes sense because no team management is perfect.

I would like to give appluase for improvements that happened with united. That's sad to see oanan has not started his debut with manchester united.

I don't think so, as simple as you say. in fact, Arteta is experimenting with his system. just look, Arteta did not play his main squad. the aim is none other than to see the progress of the players, especially for the three new players. Havertz, previously tried to play on the wing. In this match, he played as a midfielder. Likewise with Declan Rice, Arteta wants him to quickly adapt to the system that Arteta is implementing. another one, Jurrin Timber who played as a fullback.
IMO, Arteta is trying to give the newcomers time, even substitutions were made in the second half. It was clear to me he wanted to give playing minutes to the newcomers. Arteta is well aware that there is a lot of work for him to create an ideal system for his team. So, it's only natural that they lose. After all, this match is a friendly match. not decisive, during the new season game in.  start. their main goal is not how to win the match, but to experiment by seeing the performance of their team.

Different from the other way around, naturally United won this fight. they played their core players, Garnaco, Bruno, Antony. these three players, have adapted well to each other. there weren't many choices, Ten Hag just wanted to try Manson Mount's performance. also, some of United's youth players. well, if we want to see a benchmark for the strength of these two teams. later, once the new season has started.

He is probably talking about Man United's recent activity in the transfer market. I have to agree that they need to bolster their squad after releasing so many players while bringing only two so far. Acquisition of Mount and Onana are great but still not enough. Good thing is they seem to be active with rumors that they are eyeing Rasmus Hojlund next so I guess they can still get the majority of their targets before the deadline.

[bitgolden]

When he let go of Gundogan and Pep brought in Kovacic then he realised that it could be fulfilled. The doubts will definitely be there but Pep will always give his best and there is no way he would have brought Kovavic without some consideration.

Kovacic played very well for Croatia in Euro 2020 and World Cup 2022 so he is a useful player and has good experience. He has different skills than Gundogan so Pep will use Kovacic with different roles than ones he assigned to Gundogan. It is interesting to see how Pep will put Kovacic into his squad in a new season. I guess Kovacic will seriously focus on defense and with Kovacic, Pep will allow Rodri to play more attacking.

If they do not ask too much from Kovacic, then who would be replacing the players they have lost this season? I mean Ilkay is gone, they need someone to play in his stead, and that means they expect the same thing from Kovacic, if not then someone else but who? We know someone must be replacing that position, so it is going to matter a lot.

City may not be as great as they have been so far and I keep saying this and nobody believes me, when the season starts and they start losing some games time to time people will realize that this was what I was talking about. I believe that we need to end up with a solution that should be a lot more important and permanent and they do not have that just yet, maybe they will get another player.

I think, although so far Manchester United has sold or released several players. But, it doesn't seem like a bad decision either. Because anyway, Manchester United also managed to bring in Mount and Onana who basically have better quality, and also both are young which is certainly good for the long term. Also, in the friendly match against Arsenal, the fact is that Manchester United managed to win and thus, it is not right if you say Manchester United is bad. Because after all, Erik ten Hag has managed to improve Manchester United performance from last season and up to this moment.

Maybe he means that the owners are not fully supportive, and I would rather say that they should let Manchester United go if they want to see the Red Devils perform better. As for example in terms of the budget to bring in new players this season, 100 million is a budget that I think is not much money to bring in players who can provide a breath of fresh air to the game of Manchester United, as a result Erik Ten Hag must rack his brains so that they can get players who have good abilities with a modest budget.

After some time ago, Newcastle managed to get Sandro Tonali from Milan, now they are introducing their newest recruit, namely Harvey Barnes from Leicester. We know that in this summer transfer, many players from English teams have moved from one to another to gain new experiences at their new clubs. Leicester had to go down to the championship division and this made several of their players start to be looked at by teams from the English premier league. Call it previously James Maddison who had joined Spurs, then there was Youri Tielemans who joined Aston Villa and now it was Harvey Barnes' turn to join Newcastle. The duration of Harvey Barners' contract lasts up to 5 years and this will be his new journey with Newcastle as well as experiencing all major competitions including in the champions league.
