Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

Some time ago there were rumors that Kyle Walker would leave Manchester City and join Bayern Munich. But Pep Guardiola has stated that he hopes Kyle Walker can stay in Manchester City and we are even ready to fight to keep him so that no club can touch him. I think Pep Guardiola's actions were very appropriate to retain Kyle Walker and if we think his role is still very important in maintaining the defense of Manchester City.

Kyle Walker is a right-back with incredible pace and if he were to leave, who would replace him? even in the champions league against Vini, he was the one who managed to stop him and in the England national team he also managed to stop Mbappe at that time. So I think now Kyle Walker has more of a role to stop players at high speed because he is able to keep up with these players.

Now this will be interesting but I read some earlier also Kyle had agreed to leave and earlier Pep didn't hold him back and kind of let him go. I thought it was over but now there's a lot of news about Kyle who might be forced to stay.
He's a pretty good full back especially in terms of pace. He can be at the point of attack and help the attack but sometimes he can immediately defend when he gets a counterattack.
But I don't think this will take long because in the end the deal might be taken by Bayern especially if you see some news in the previous few weeks Kyle has also started talking to Bayern.

Liverpool certainly has a better possibility than most of the teams that occupy the mid-table of the Premier League standings. Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City are some of the top teams that are always competing for the title. Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham were too bad last season, so they have to make big changes next season.

How does Liverpool have a better possibility when they couldn't take advantage of the likes of Tottenham and Chelsea been poor last season to finish in the top four. Chelsea had an excuse for their bad performance for last season. They had a change of ownership, had a change of manager and brought in about four different managers to coach the players last season. Nobody expected anything from them and spending money was never going to be the answer to their problem because they didn't have a manager that will be able to handle the players they signed in the January transfer market. If you noticed the squad has been playing better in the pre season games.

Pochettino is a quality coach and he's transforming the players at the club and getting goals from them which is something the previous coaches weren't able to do. Don't overlook Chelsea as potential title contenders because they have more advantage than other top clubs fighting for the title next season. They'll be playing lesser games and the players will be having less work to do next season which gives them more advantage to be determined to win trophies next season. I'll support Manchester united over Liverpool for lifting the trophy next season that's if Manchester city and Arsenal were to fall off the title race due to some issues like poor form or focusing on other titles like the champions league.

I think Liverpool's transfer step was more correct. It was necessary to strengthen the midfield to feed Nunez and they did it, they will. Mohammed Salah will feed him enough anyway. If he is a productive attacker in the midfield, it could be a great season for Nunez. If Klopp saw this potential in him, he could find more opportunities this year.

Some teams in the Premier League do have almost the same opportunity for next season as long as the team coach can take advantage of players who have talent in certain lines and I think not only Liverpool can do that, but there are several other great teams who can also do this as long as their players don't suffer injuries next season. Nunez and Mohammed Salah are pretty good players, but they still need to make Liverpool look stronger next season with a level of hard work that isn't easy.

Basically Nunez has a very good posture to duel in the opponent defense, and also when Nunez gets a pass of course Nunez can win it even if it is a cross. Therefore, it's no wonder Liverpool prioritize bringing in midfielders. Because it will keep Liverpool midfield good after being left by some of its senior players, such as Milner and several other midfielders who left in this transfer market. Because at least, if Liverpool midfield is solid, then it will make their attacks better and also strengthen their defense too of course.

You are right, Liverpool's midfield needs to be strengthened. A stronger midfield will improve the performance of their attacking players. Manchester City's performance last season was very consistent. The midfield of this team I think is the best midfield in the world right now. However, with Liverpool aiming for the title, their midfield and defense need to be strengthened. Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League. The team's sole aim in the coming season will be to perform well in the Premier League. And so the team has the highest chance of consistent performance in the Premier League.

It was a hard season for everyone not only Chelsea. Liverpool faced a hard time after Mane left. Mane was key to Liverpool's attack in the seasons they won trophies (UCL, EPL, etc). Losing such a key player has a, way of destabilizimg teams. IIRC, Kloop did a lot of experiment that didn't pay off in the end and that's why Liverpool's management team has taken extra step to fix some of the outstanding issues from last season (it was largely a midfield problem since Gakpo and Nunez joined the team plus Diaz and Jota recovered from their injuries).

Chelsea could have kept Tuchel in the team but decide to make a critical change like that when the league is in full swing? Why create a problem when there wasn't one in the first place.

With the present midfield and set of players at Liverpool at the moment,I don't think they can even contend for the tittle with the likes of Arsenal,Mancity,Newcastle or Manchester united next season,they weren't consistent last season because there was no solid midfielder at the team,now they have brought in Mac Alister,but I still think only one addition to the middle of the park cannot revive the whole team,they need like two good midfielders who will understand themselves and compliment each other in terms of play.I think a better midfield that can compete with Manchester city next season is Arsenal,because they were good before,and they've still added Harvetz and Rice,which are two additions that can stregthen the team, although,they have sold one of their standout player Xhaka to Leverkusen,but might have replaced him with Rice.I think both Rice and Partey can compliment each other very well in that midfield.

Even if your opinion is not completely wrong, I think Liverpool are part of the team that will fight for the title next season. Liverpool will be good and will definitely be better than last season but some new additions will definitely make them even better.

Apart from Alexis Mac Allister, Liverpool have also signed another midfielder, namely Dominik Szoboszlai. The former RB Leipzig midfielder was signed for a contract value of up to 70 million euros, so of course he will be a great addition for Liverpool next season. So it's not too bad to expect Liverpool to be one of the title contenders next season instead of Manchester City or Arsenal and Manchester United.

[Stepstowealth]

I think both Rice and Partey can compliment each other very well in that midfield.

The focus for Arteta will be to make Havertz and Declan Rice develop and Understanding with Martin Ødegaard. Partey was almost out of the team, but it looks like a last minute decision has kept him in the club, for the now until maybe there is news of an interested club. Rice, Havertz and Martin Ødegaard will have another chance when they play against Barcelona later this week. They were an embarrassment in their last game against Manchester United, maybe the loss will force them to find that connection and get more involvement in the game to show Arteta that what he has in his mind for the team next season will work.

Yes, It was a hard season for Chelsea because they didn't achieve anything and they were in a bad situation also Chelsea spent too much without any good results. I think now Pochettino will have hard days rebuilding the team because there are many players who left this team and this can make Chslea to need time and to get in good shape again.

There is no way Harvetz,Rice and Odegard will be able to defeat Xavi's midfield.Arteta is trying to build a kind if connection between them,but I think the person that would have been in that midfield is Partey instead of Harvetz who hasn't understood the pattern of Arsenal play.Harvetz is not strong phisically,and so he cannot control the midfield when
 person like Partey stands there.Uptill now,I am still not convinced  about Hervetz delivering for Arsenal day in day out

It is true that Arteta has a good plan for Arsenal next season,but according to what we have seen in the preseason so far,they are not like the way the were last season.There preseason was one that they really enjoyed,because they won all their matches and loose none.It will be good if Arteta goes to the transfer market and sign atleast one more midfielder like Douglas Luiz should Incase injury comes on in.

But I don't think this will take long because in the end the deal might be taken by Bayern especially if you see some news in the previous few weeks Kyle has also started talking to Bayern.

I think Walker was indeed a player who was quite influential for the Manchester City defense in the previous few seasons so Pep Guardiola will try to persuade him not to go to another club in this transfer window. But looking at the news that is currently developing, it seems that Bayern Munich has reached an oral agreement with the player, so that Bayern Munich will hold a meeting with Manchester City on the Kyle Walker transfer agreement in the near future.

Of course, seeing a movement that has occurred in this progress, it seems that Bayern Munich will achieve success in recruiting Kyle Walker. One of the reasons for Walker to leave Manchester city was because he felt there were already other competitors which meant he would not get many playing minutes next season if he chose to stay with Manchester City.

[JoyMarsha]

Chelsea could have kept Tuchel in the team but decide to make a critical change like that when the league is in full swing? Why create a problem when there wasn't one in the first place.

The second Tuchel was fired, Chelsea's team became disorganized. Chelsea was unable to find a solution to a host of issues brought on by a critical change they made since they believed that a new coach would be the key to winning the premier league or champions league trophy.
If Chelsea's owner had realized the money spent on bringing in two different coaches who didn't perform as planned to replace Tuchel, he might have chosen to give Tuchel more time to lead Chelsea rather than dismissing him abruptly after Chelsea's first champions league defeat of the season. Chelsea owner fervently believes that Chelsea will succeed if he signs his old-time friend coach "Potter" as Chelsea coach. That mistake alone caused problems for Chelsea's football club. They paid dearly for it by changing coaches in short intervals

Actually, the fact that Guardiola himself is rumored to say that they will fight for the player clearly introduces some element of ambiguity into this transfer. So there are some doubts about the transfer.Now everything depends on the position of the player himself, who, according to rumors, had previously informed Pep about leaving for Bayern Munich, how serious it was and what specific promises were made to Munich. It also raises questions about how Guardiola is going to fight for Walker, whether it will be a salary increase or guarantees from the head coach about getting into the starting lineup.

So it's not too bad to expect Liverpool to be one of the title contenders next season instead of Manchester City or Arsenal and Manchester United.

At this juncture, We cannot safely predict which team has a better chance of winning the Premier League title next season. Who would have expected Chelsea to finish in that position at the end of the season, as they did last season. They started brilliantly but finished poorly, owing to the club's choice to change managers.

Every team has an equal chance of winning the title next season, although there are always favourites in each competition who are likely to win the league. Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal are the current favourites, although we may also include Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United based on their previous season's performance. Considering how  the Premier League is so competitive, we can't ascertain anything for the time being.

It is true that Arteta has a good plan for Arsenal next season,but according to what we have seen in the preseason so far,they are not like the way the were last season.There preseason was one that they really enjoyed,because they won all their matches and loose none.It will be good if Arteta goes to the transfer market and sign atleast one more midfielder like Douglas Luiz should Incase injury comes on in.

You cannot use preseason performance to judge how a team is going to fare in the up coming season. But so far I'm impressed with the job Arteta is doing and Arsenal's activity in the transfer market, they were able to get some top quality players to strengthen the team and give them a better chance of claiming the title from Manchester City. Hope everything goes to plan and Arteta is able to deliver atleast one trophy for the gunners next season.

The focus for Arteta will be to make Havertz and Declan Rice develop and Understanding with Martin Ødegaard. Partey was almost out of the team, but it looks like a last minute decision has kept him in the club, for the now until maybe there is news of an interested club.

With the purchase of Declan Rice from WestHam United, one might feel Partey's role in the team would be limited but the gunners will be playing in four competitions next season, so Arteta would need all of his guns to be firing. Arteta has reiterated that he wants Partey to stay because he's part of his plans for next season.

They paid dearly for it by changing coaches in short intervals

Thomas Tuchel remained my favorite coach; I'm a Chelsea fan, and I was really delighted when he was appointed head coach of the London club; he led us to the UEFA Champions League in his first season in charge. Although he was fired by the new board of directors in charge of the team it was primarily because he was failing to achieve the club's expectations and leaving too much randomness for defeat. Chelsea is most likely a shambles right now, with the club rebuilding at the moment. Expect some substantially improved good outcomes from Chelsea next season.

Some things that must be noted here

1. MU use youth squad in this game instead of main squad gonna face real madrid tomorrow.
2. Evans was the only experienced player in the club.

Well. it's still a big shame for manchester united caused by it's second squad was even weaker compared with wrexham. The main squad gonna face real madrid and MU will come with full power against madrid.
That's why the main squad was not playing in this mantch. Im watching it now in MUtv. MU uses the youth team to face wrexham.

The youth team of manchester united looked very weak. It's embarrassing result if youth team of MU gonna lose against wrexham caused by it will prove that wrexham has better quality compared with youth team of MU.

I can see from the lineup for Manchester United today indeed Jony Evans is the only senior player who played and Manchester United with young players seems cannot able to displayed good performance and it proven from their statistics that although Manchester United were dominate the match but they only have 1 shot on goal during the match especially after Daniel Gore got the red card Manchester United seems looks very difficult to penetrate the defense of wrexham and after final whistle Manchester United have to lost with scores 1-3

On the other hand Arsenal too tomorrow will facing Laliga champion Barcelona and based on people prediction Arsenal and Barcelona possibly will playing with their best of starting lineup and according to the statistics i can see Barcelona is the favourite because from 3 recent meetings Barcelona were unbeatable from Arsenal and for Arsenal they still unable to displayed good performance and got dissapoint result from Manchester United few days ago and today lets see their progress whether they can able to beat Barcelona or they will lost again

Basically Nunez has a very good posture to duel in the opponent defense, and also when Nunez gets a pass of course Nunez can win it even if it is a cross. Therefore, it's no wonder Liverpool prioritize bringing in midfielders. Because it will keep Liverpool midfield good after being left by some of its senior players, such as Milner and several other midfielders who left in this transfer market. Because at least, if Liverpool midfield is solid, then it will make their attacks better and also strengthen their defense too of course.

You are right, Liverpool's midfield needs to be strengthened. A stronger midfield will improve the performance of their attacking players. Manchester City's performance last season was very consistent. The midfield of this team I think is the best midfield in the world right now. However, with Liverpool aiming for the title, their midfield and defense need to be strengthened. Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League. The team's sole aim in the coming season will be to perform well in the Premier League. And so the team has the highest chance of consistent performance in the Premier League.

Klopp is still trying to find ways to strengthen the midfield to maintain balance in the team, overall team balance will improve Liverpool quality in terms of defense and attack. Manchester City is still one of the tough teams in the Premier League, even though several players who helped Manchester City win the treble winner last season have left, it will not affect Manchester City performance because Guardiola still has quality in his squad, besides that Guardiola has just brought in several players to maintain the chance of retaining the title this season.
Liverpool will try to target the title after experiencing a slump in the last few seasons, Liverpool's hopes of shifting the dominance of Manchester City will not be easy, other teams have also brought in quality players to provide competition to Manchester City.

Some time ago there were rumors that Kyle Walker would leave Manchester City and join Bayern Munich. But Pep Guardiola has stated that he hopes Kyle Walker can stay in Manchester City and we are even ready to fight to keep him so that no club can touch him. I think Pep Guardiola's actions were very appropriate to retain Kyle Walker and if we think his role is still very important in maintaining the defense of Manchester City.

Kyle Walker is a right-back with incredible pace and if he were to leave, who would replace him? even in the champions league against Vini, he was the one who managed to stop him and in the England national team he also managed to stop Mbappe at that time. So I think now Kyle Walker has more of a role to stop players at high speed because he is able to keep up with these players.

Kyle Walker is 33 years old and also, his contract at Manchester City has only one season left. So, if Manchester City do not extend Kyle Walker contract then at least, Kyle Walker will have the opportunity to leave. But yes, if Manchester City can extend his contract at his old age, then it will make Kyle Walker will play even longer at Manchester City. It seems quite interesting also to look forward to, whether Kyle Walker will leave or stay until his contract ends.

I think it's not a matter of age or that his contract will expire next year, but this is more to appreciate Kyle Walker's consistent performance every season and because of that Pep Guardiola will be very happy to protect his players from offers from other clubs. Maybe Manchester City also doesn't want to extend his contract and prefer to continue the existing contract with the same salary until Kyle Walker is a free agent next year.

For Pep Guardiola, a Kyle Walker is an important figure to stop all opposing players who are on the right side of the defense and this may be more on Pep Guardiola's desire to be able to defend the EPL and UCL titles at the same time, therefore Pep Guardiola still needs Kyle Walker's services at least until next season.

I think it has been expected because Manchested United Academy is a weak club, they were in 9th from 14th position in Premier League 2 Division 1. While Wrexham is a developed club since they won the national league, maybe they can be a strong candidate in EFL League Two.

What I can say second tier and third tier league is full of surprise, while in the league one the clubs are more consistent.
