Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Pokapoka124]

Liverpool to me have oversold their players in this transfer window and for the fact that the session is around the corner makes it more obvious that the club may be taking a rather hard route this time because just as you rightly said getting a replacement for those players will be a tough quest for Liverpool.

And if care is not taken,  Liverpool may have a bad season again in this premiere leagues,  even though the previous season also wasn't all that colourful for the club where their struggled to stay in the top 5 o the league table.

I think Liverpool are building something interesting this summer, after selling some of their first team players Jurgen Klopp have been active in this window and so far have been working on strengthening the midfield and attacking areas of the team. The squad is not yet at the level he would have loved it to be because of the nature of the market currently but I believe something will happen before the window closes, I am very optimistic about that.

It seems everything is now done and Joško Gvardiol is going to join Manchester City in the next season, Gvardiol was under contract with Leipzig until 2027 and the first offer Manchester City sent was rejected because Leipzig because they asked for 100m but finally, Gvardiol transfer done with 90m and this player is not the most expensive defender, I think Guardiola wanted to improve their defensive line and they did it but hiring this Croatian player from Leipzig.

Gvardiol is a strong and proactively defender with very good skills for defend and attacking. He is useful for clubs that want to control their matches with high ball possession. Gvardiol is a very rare defenders and I only can see Sergio Ramos has similar skills like Gvardiol. He is even more matured and skillful than Sergio Ramos at a same age.

With these skills, he can play at all positions in Manchester City defense system and even can play like John Stones or Phillip Lahm as a central defensive midfielder.

The price is high but it worths to spend such big money to buy an outstanding young defender like Gvardiol as it takes many years to see such a talented player.

Chelsea slumped in last season's match because it had to end in 12th place from the top of the standings. Hopefully, Chelsea will have the opportunity to get back into the top five and get the chance to win the Premier League this season. Manchester City looks like it will still be a very tough opponent for many teams because they have added new players such as Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol to strengthen the team.

Gvardiol and kovacic already projected as a backup once some important players like walker gonna leave from the club. Kovacic used as a replacement for guendogan while gvardiol already prepared to replace walker once he will be sealed by bayern.
It seems like that walker will not be leaving from the club. That means if pep must be thinking about another rotation for him. Chelsea is now moving up again. Chelsea is facing dortmund now which has almost won bundesliga last season.

There are so many improvements showed by chelsea caused by it was able building a very good wall against dortmund. Dortmund faces difficulty in making a shoot on target.
Im thinking if chelsea will become even more mature with the goes of time. The club just need to make sure its team will be able to perform consistently. Pochettino has been transforming club to be even better.

Under Pep Guardiola, Kovacic and Gvardiol will be able to test their capacities; he's the kind of coach who can transform any talented player into any role that pleases him. The new players will become acquainted with the previous ones; some will adjust quickly and easily, while others will take time; nonetheless, Pep Guardiola will always ensure that he identifies and addresses any weaknesses in his roster. Pep Guardiola is one of the smartest people at Etihad Stadium; he is always looking for new methods to tackle problems. Signing more important players this summer is undoubtedly one of the best methods to implement a fresh approach this season.

I agree, the English Premier League this season is looking interesting, especially with teams like Chelsea, Newcastle, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal showing promising performances last term. It will be intriguing to see how Arsenal and Newcastle maintain their form and surprise us again. While Manchester City is considered the favorite, I believe other top teams will provide tough competition and ensure they don't go unchallenged. Expect surprises and fierce competition in the English Premier League this season!

Manchester City looks like it will still be a very tough opponent for many teams because they have added new players such as Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol to strengthen the team.

Chelsea, who slumped last season, even continued to change coaches to restore the squad but to no avail. until finally the current coach, Mauricio Pochettino, seems to be more reliable in the coming season. Because based on the results of the Pre-season matches it turns out that Chelsea has a pretty good game. So this season maybe Chelsea will be much more to be expected than last season. But to break into the top 4 rankings maybe it will be a little difficult. But the world of football is always filled with unexpected things every season. So it could turn out that there will be a team that suddenly has a good performance this season. Like Brighton last season who surprised us with the improvement they have had throughout the season. I'm curious which club will be able to surprise us all in the coming season.

The purpose of Pep Guardiola picking Erling Haaland to be his frontline attacker was because he knew the crucial challenges the Norway international would displayed towards his opponents. Erling Haaland is a goal machine and a top striker for the cityzens, perhaps he doesn't have a good footings on the ball. But with previous development and improvements, the striker starting to develop and improve in all rounds as a quality striker just like Harry Kane. We shouldn't compared the newly incoming Erling Haaland to Harry Kane, ofcourse the englishman have been in Tottenham Hotspur for years without lifting a title, the possible chances is his club are reluctant in performance and not ready to win a title yet.

Guardiola is someone with wide understanding of the game and what it takes to be a winner and a successful manager that is why it was so easy to identify a player like Erling Haaland to solve their attacking issues and help time win the champions league title last season but despite Haaland’s performance last season I still wouldn’t compare him to Harry Kane who is also a born scorer and English record breaking attacker who has stayed consistent and relevant for years in a top and tough league like the EPL. Maybe someday we would be able to make this comparison but for now they are miles away from each other.

Erling Haaland performed brilliantly for Manchester City last season. He has been able to score quite a few goals in both the Champions League and the Premier League, but towards the end of the season, we haven't seen a good performance from him. Many compare Erling Haaland with Harry Kane, but so far Erling Haaland is far behind Harry Kane. Erling Haaland doesn't have the finishing skills that Harry Kane has.  However, there is a considerable age difference between Erling Haaland and Harry Kane, it is expected that Erling Haaland will be a much better performer at Harry Kane's age and improve his game more.

It cannot be compared, harry Kane has been in the Tottenham team for a long time and he is also quite mature in age while Erling Haaland is a young player and in his first season with Manchester City he was able to make quite a contribution, I think that is very extraordinary, a player at such a young age being able to adapt quickly to a new team and win 3 titles at once, what Erling Haaland did was great in my opinion and cannot be compared to Kane who has been senior and has been with Tottenham for a long time.

Actually, Erling Haaland is very good in terms of quality. And Pep has seen and knows the talent that Erling Haaland has when he plays with Dortmund, so that's why Man City is very interested in recruiting him and making him the first choice.

Erling Haaland is a very talented player and he has come from a team that does not participate in most of the World Cup tournaments. Without talent, it is not easy for a team like this to perform for a club in Europe's top tier and win the Champions League trophy.  
Erling Haaland's career has just begun and good things await him in the future. If Manchester City keep him in the team long term he will be more efficient especially if he can play under Pep then Pep will make him one of the best players in Europe and he will be a world class footballer.

The next generation of Messi, Neymar, and Ronaldo might be made up of players like Mbappe and Erling Haaland.

Manchester City have also shown an interest in signing a new centre-back who is currently worth £86million.
He's the person of Josko Gvardiol. He's from the German side RB Leipzig.
Hopefully we get to see him play in Sunday's Community Shield match against Arsenal.

Pep is very ready to claim and defend the trophies he won last season with strategic players that has speed and height. We would get to see the stance of two of the best English league sides for now, and know how much they have preped up for a new season challenge.

Due to the departure of some important players of the team, the team has been somewhat weaker this season than last season, so Manchester City may be planning to strengthen their attacking line. The £86million Josko Gvardiol signing could be the best deal for Manchester City. This transfer was necessary to maintain their consistency in the next season. Since two midfielders have left from Manchester City, Manchester City should bring in a midfielder. If the midfield is not as strong as it used to be, the defense and forwards will not be able to play to their full potential. After the transfer of Josko Guardiol, Manchester City must think about their midfield.

True, gvardiol may able to dig his potential even deeper once he is gonna be coached by pep. We have seen how many young players like Haaland have shown their true potential after being coached by Pep. I think that pep was always successfully digging the potential owned by the player. It's not only happening in manchester city but he was also doing the same thing when he was still coaching barcelona. That's the main reason pep was able winning treble winners with manchester last season.
pep has been trying to build the club so many times but last season's squad was the best squad since he was coming in manchester city. KDB and haaland make manchester city becomes a perfect club at this moment.
The competition gonna even stricter very soon. Buying kovacic and gvardiol have become the best decision from pep. Im thinknig about gvardiol may also become one of greatest defender in this decade.

Yes, Chelsea performance was very poor through out the season that made their president to changed more than two coach before the end of the tournament but nothing good came out from the team. Based on the huge amount of money the Chelsea president is trying to release for the manager to bring in quality players in this summer, showed that  Chelsea will drag second position in the premier league table because there is a rumors that kylian Mbappe is planning to join Chelsea in this season. I believe Manchester city will still maintain that first position in the premier league competition table in this season because their coach is still bring in talented players that will make the team stronger.

It seems everything is now done and Joško Gvardiol is going to join Manchester City in the next season, Gvardiol was under contract with Leipzig until 2027 and the first offer Manchester City sent was rejected because Leipzig because they asked for 100m but finally, Gvardiol transfer done with 90m and this player is not the most expensive defender, I think Guardiola wanted to improve their defensive line and they did it but hiring this Croatian player from Leipzig.

Josko Gvardiol is a defender who can be relied on enough, he also has a very good game to withstand attacks from opponents in every match he participates in with Leipzig.
When joining Manchester City, maybe the defense will get stronger considering that last season Manchester City had a poor defense line, so with Josko Gvardiol it is hoped that it can strengthen the defense of the Manchester City squad.

But Pep also has to think about their midfield considering that if the attack and defense only rely on a few players it still seems unsatisfactory and can still have gaps that are detrimental for every game.

Gabriel Jesus has been injured again and this time a problem with his knee has kept him out of Arsenal's pre-season game against Monaco today. It is still unknown since when he has been injured again and as reported by Fabrizio Romano is currently being assessed by the medical team. We know that Gabriel Jesus recently recovered from injury but when the EPL is about to start in a few days he has the same problem.

I think he needs to be more careful and if he is an important enough player Mikel Arteta should be able to rest him a bit longer. At the moment there are not many striker options at Arsenal and only Nketiah is left as a pure striker. I hope his knee problem is not too bad so he can return to strengthen Arsenal next season.

Arsenal have been confirmed Gabriel Jesus is not into their squad yesterday because before the match against Monaco he got injured and this is big lost for Arsenal because only Nketiah left who can be played as centre striker and actually Arsenal has Balogun but Arteta doesn't like him and Arsenal has decide to sell Balogun this summer and the latest news from Gabriel Jesus is he will absense in the next few weeks which mean at the beginning of new season Arsenal will playing without Jesus and this is not the first time for Jesus because last season too he got long term injured and this caused Arsenal were unable to performing well however the match against Monaco was ended 1-1 at the normal time and it was continue by penalty kick which make Arsenal as the winner

Due to the departure of some important players of the team, the team has been somewhat weaker this season than last season, so Manchester City may be planning to strengthen their attacking line. The £86million Josko Gvardiol signing could be the best deal for Manchester City. This transfer was necessary to maintain their consistency in the next season. Since two midfielders have left from Manchester City, Manchester City should bring in a midfielder. If the midfield is not as strong as it used to be, the defense and forwards will not be able to play to their full potential. After the transfer of Josko Guardiol, Manchester City must think about their midfield.

I don't think that the Manchester City team will be weaker even though a number of players are left behind, but this team does need a few additional players to maintain stability when rotating players who are tired or injured during the season.
The Manchester City team already has a fairly solid foundation and game so even though there are several players coming or going it will not have a significant effect on the team's performance, this has been seen from last season when Pep rotated players in this squad.

I admit that Gvardiol has had a good performance at Leipzig and maybe it would have been better if he had joined Man City to strengthen the defense even more, but I dont agree when you say that Man City current defense is very bad because I see that Man City defense has been Very good but I dont know what makes you say its bad.

one hand Pep do not want to overhaul his players too much because for Guardiola all the current Man City players are perfect to compete consistently in the summer. well, maybe some have been replaced but Pep is always careful with this because changing too many players will take a long time to adapt again on one side of Man City goal this season to get a trophy in the UCL again.

Manchester City looks like it will still be a very tough opponent for many teams because they have added new players such as Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol to strengthen the team.

That hope is still there but of course it's not easy especially with last season's performance there must be many people who are skeptical of Chelsea.
Currently Chelsea are under high pressure with their transition phase with several changes again and again for players and coaches.
At the moment the hope is clear that Poche must take Chelsea in a better direction. Even if maybe this season will not immediately be able to become the strongest contender for the championship but when they change in a good direction and not the same as last season then it is very good for them.

[cryptofrka]

Gvardiol to City was one of the most logical summer transfers for me.

The best ball-playing team in the world filling the gap in defence with a fast, ball-playing left footed center back - you simply knew this was going to happen.

Gvardiol is pure quality and will be a world-class centre back for a long period of time. This is a great deal for everybody involved and he deserves to be breaking transfer records.

[Pokapoka124]

I’m surprised Erik Ten just realized how competitive the premier league is, not every manager or player can cope or succeed after joining the EPL from other leagues, that is why it is a special league. Ronaldo said it when he first moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid, he said the la liga is very easy compared to the EPL and that it will be difficult for a la liga player to transition to the EPL.

This coming season will even be more interesting seeing the signings teams are making this summer. Liverpool have made two important signings to boost their midfield options and Chelsea have also made a number of signings like Nkunku, Jackson etc who are already firing and showing their worth in the preseason games, Manchester United on the other hand are close to completing the signing of Hojlund.

[Strongkored]

Chelsea, who slumped last season, even continued to change coaches to restore the squad but to no avail. until finally the current coach, Mauricio Pochettino, seems to be more reliable in the coming season. Because based on the results of the Pre-season matches it turns out that Chelsea has a pretty good game. So this season maybe Chelsea will be much more to be expected than last season. But to break into the top 4 rankings maybe it will be a little difficult. But the world of football is always filled with unexpected things every season. So it could turn out that there will be a team that suddenly has a good performance this season. Like Brighton last season who surprised us with the improvement they have had throughout the season. I'm curious which club will be able to surprise us all in the coming season.

From last season's results, there were at least 3 teams that I considered to be successful in impressing, Brighton, who indeed in several seasons performed quite well even though it was only last season that they were able to reach the European zone, Newcastle United, which struggled very hard the previous season to survive in the Premier League but one season after that can becoming a club that can be said to be the most successful because it was able to reach the champions league zone and the team that is no less surprising is Aston Villa, Unai Emery's presence gave very different things to the club and managed to reach the conference league zone while Arsenal and Manchester United were teams who managed to find their best performance again, although they still showed some inconsistency in several matches.

Todd Boehly certainly really hopes that the appointment of Pochettino as Chelsea coach will give what is expected because last season they experienced something very uncomfortable. But we'll see that Arsenal need a few seasons before they perform well again as well as Manchester United so it's very possible that Chelsea will also need time to be able to impress again, even though in the pre-season match Pochettino said he was happy with the progress of his team but matches in the league will put a different pressure so results can be achieved very different.

[Coyster]

The best ball-playing team in the world filling the gap in defence with a fast, ball-playing left footed center back - you simply knew this was going to happen.

Gvardiol is impressive and he is still very young, thus it is a great signing for City, but i must admit that i am surprised that City are spending this much on a center back when they have numerous center backs who are all on top of their game. There is currently no gap to be filled in City's central defense.

If there is any area that has gaps, then it should be the full back positions, Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo might be leaving City before the transfer window closes and City currently don't have a natural left back. Anyway Pep always has his plans, he might fully convert Nathan Ake to a left back, he played in that position for the most of last season, Gvardiol is also left-footed, thus he can also play in left back, it would be interesting to City what Pep has planned out.

[Queentoshi]

Todd Boehly certainly really hopes that the appointment of Pochettino as Chelsea coach will give what is expected because last season they experienced something very uncomfortable. But we'll see that Arsenal need a few seasons before they perform well again as well as Manchester United so it's very possible that Chelsea will also need time to be able to impress again, even though in the pre-season match Pochettino said he was happy with the progress of his team but matches in the league will put a different pressure so results can be achieved very different.

Chelsea played against Dortmund and the Chelsea players showed that they have become a more confident team. Nkunku was subbed off early in the game after he appeared to have had a contact injury, it made Chelsea supporters a bit scared that he may be out for some weeks, but later on while the game was on, he walked back to the field unassisted which was a good sign that the injury was not too serious. Mudryk is a player to watch out for next season, he looks to be more relaxed, and his pace is back. Chelsea will make Todd Boehly smile next season.

[RockBell]

I agree, the English Premier League this season is looking interesting, especially with teams like Chelsea, Newcastle, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal showing promising performances last term. It will be intriguing to see how Arsenal and Newcastle maintain their form and surprise us again. While Manchester City is considered the favorite, I believe other top teams will provide tough competition and ensure they don't go unchallenged. Expect surprises and fierce competition in the English Premier League this season!

One of the most interesting and attention-catching leagues is the Premier League, some teams actually did very well at some point but along the lines, some clubs flopped, clubs like Newcastle did very well, and also manchester united since they keep flipping positions between themselves, Arsenal did well but we the fans expected more from the club, for arsenal they have tested glory and will want to keep up and come up with a new strategy, if they maintain there form then it will favor them a lot considering the fact that they will want to win the premier league this time, the problem is also that premier league is full of surprises who would have expected Newcastle to be on fire overnight.

Chelsea slumped in last season's match because it had to end in 12th place from the top of the standings. Hopefully, Chelsea will have the opportunity to get back into the top five and get the chance to win the Premier League this season. Manchester City looks like it will still be a very tough opponent for many teams because they have added new players such as Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol to strengthen the team.

Seriously Chelsea fucked up last season they even narrowly escaped relegation, despite spending so much money on players and even sacking Potter, hope they build a stronger structure this period, Chelsea can not win the premier league am very sure of that, making it to top five is another battle on its own, at least that one is a  little bit possible but winning the premier league will be impossible, manchester city is a very hard bone to chew, they're still very good competitors that Chelsea will have to face before winning and Chelsea is not in that position since they are getting fixed gradually.

[Mame89]

After signing Hojlund I'm curious about this transfer will be beneficial for the Red Devils for real. Rashford won't need to play as a centre-forward anymore as long as Hojlund adapts and plays decently. He couldn't perform impressively for Atalanta which makes me question his first season here. But it is still hard to predict what he can do in the Premier League.

ETH is given the freedom to play a role in terms of player transfers, meaning that the players brought in are of course the wishes of the manager, so in this second season the pressure on ETH will be even greater, because of the demands of Man United's results next season. I'm sure that if adaptation, communication runs smoothly and his skills and contributions will have a positive and significant impact on Man United. So that one day Rasmus Hoijllund can become a new version of Ruud Van Nistelrooy in the future.

If he has a good chemistry with the team and start scoring more comfortably it will be really lovely to watch him. I would be curious about especially Hojlund vs Haaland when they play against Manchester City. Haaland is in a way better condition now of course but it would be nice to see Hojlund bringing the competition to him.

Don't expect much from Rasmus Hojlund in the first season let alone to compare with Haaland, because he is still young and playing for a big club for the first time. Moreover, the Premier League needs adaptation, at least this season he can score 15 goals in his first season. This will be good enough for him as a young man who is participating in the English league for the first time.
