Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Yurkov]

Andre and Lavia are the current candidates for defensive midfield position at Liverpool. Actually Liverpool have made multiple offers for Lavia already as far as I know. But there is no agreement yet. Liverpool are looking for only young players for this position as it seems. I hope the new player to fill Fabinho's place can play at least as good as him.

Liverpool first bid for Romeo Lavia had been rejected by Southampton, I think Liverpool should hurriedly increase and table a better offer else Man City is ready to capitalize on their slow negotiation and offer Southampton an improve offer for him, Liverpool needed Romeo Lavia now because of the departure of the duo of Henderson and Fabinho and McAllister who was signed from Brighton to play as a defensive midfielder limped off in yesterday match between Liverpool and Bayern Munich and the need to sign Romeo Lavia as a backup midfielder should in case there is an injury to the first team player playing that role.

Interestingly there is still nobody on their radar when it comes to a striker. They have Nunez but there is nobody else in the subs to replace him strongly. Klopp tried Gakpo sometimes but it wouldn't be a good idea. After Firmino's departure they had better fill his place too.

Luis Díaz is a good  substitute for Nunez if he is fit he had been in a terrific form when he newly signed for Liverpool until he got injured, however now that he is back on his feet Klopp has the option of selecting  any three forward among Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Luiz Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez thus there are options for the team in their forward line.

In my personal opinion Mohamed Salah is not able to perform like before. Salah was excellent when Sadio Mane was in the team. It remains to be seen what kind of performances Salah gives Liverpool this season.

I have a feeling that Mudryk will do better this season, I have been following the preseason games and watched a few games Mudryk played and I can testify that he looks sharper and more confident.!It will be really nice to see him returning to form again under Pochettino. It could be that Pochettino is the man who can push him to reach his full potential.

Chelsea will do more better next season, it's just a matter of time. Mykhailo Mudryk is one of the best signings that Chelsea triggered last season, but he failed to improved and adapt to the club's pattern of game and was severally benched. Perhaps with the recent development and in friendly games, he's doing a good job to fit in the squad, scoring and bracing assists, I have seen him play with so much confidence on the pitch, around his new teammates and his new coach. Mauricio Pochettino good in handling Chelsea and we expect alot of development from the club.

How can you say Mudryk is the best signing if as a result he can't do much to score goals? maybe you mean the other way around

Mudryk is still Mudryk, who until now has only been able to score how many goals while at Chelsea? When the change of coach people start to be positive because in pre-season matches scored goals, that's all? I think it's a long way off compared to the price Chelsea paid for him. Let the process answer it, and I wonder if next season he will be a player who can compete with Haaland as the initial rumors said.

Hoping that Mauricio Pochettino can lead Chelsea to finish in the Champions League zone next season, that will look better than seeing him finish in 12th position. But if they succeed in their strategy of loaning Mbappe from PSG there is a possibility that they will finish even better, raner up will be their place. Chelsea's pre-season trip this time has been very good, they are unbeaten and last drew against Dortmund.

However, this match had to be paid dearly because after a draw, their new player, Christopher Nkunku, was injured. This will be their closing match in pre-season, hopefully Nkunku won't be seriously injured.

In my personal opinion Mohamed Salah is not able to perform like before. Salah was excellent when Sadio Mane was in the team. It remains to be seen what kind of performances Salah gives Liverpool this season.

Why can not? Did you see the statistics on Mohamed Salah's contribution last season, or after Sadio Mane left?
Yes, there is no significant difference in his contribution, Mohamed Salah made his name in the top scorer of the EPL last season and is in the top five. Regardless of Liverpool's situation, we see from Mohamed Salah's personal contribution

As long as the players at Liverpool can carry out the directions from their coach quite well and read how Mohamed Salah's style of play is, I think Mohamed Salah can still perform well at Liverpool because sometimes a player also really needs the solidity of the players in the team so that everyone can evaluate it more precisely. Moreover, Liverpool are also eyeing new players to make their team stronger next season.

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.

Being given the freedom to determine the players he wants to bring in also doesn't help when the availability of money from the club owner is not available as he needs. However, there is something interesting about Erik Ten Hak because he is not in a hurry in making bids for the players he wants and he also considers the price according to the availability of the budget. Evidenced by the several successful transfers he made to Onana and Mount and Erik Ten Hak are also not too wasteful in spending on players, either because of limited budget availability or because they are more selective in choosing.

Friendly matches have not shown positive results for Man United and Erik Ten Hak must try to make the most of this unsatisfactory result so that it can be corrected before the official competition begins. Rasmus Hojlund is also reported to be very close to Man United and Sofyan Amrabat is also reported to have reached an oral agreement to join Man United. When these two players are successfully brought in the Man United squad will be even more complete for next season.

In my personal opinion Mohamed Salah is not able to perform like before. Salah was excellent when Sadio Mane was in the team. It remains to be seen what kind of performances Salah gives Liverpool this season.

I understand that Liverpool were pretty bad last season, thus it was hard for people to notice how good Salah was, it wasn't his best season, but he didn't have a terrible season individually, especially with the number of goals he scored. If he had put up that perfromance in a season in which Liverpool prolly won the league, you'd see that your views of his performance last season would change.

Anyway, Liverpool as a team can do better this season, and i guess they are going to do that, but it would be very difficult for Liverpool to win the premier league, i think the closest challenger to City is going to be Arsenal again.

[Avirunes]

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.

Well they have been trying to get Gvardiol for a long time so it was obvious and at the end happened as expected. City kinda pushed the line in order to sign Gvardiol which gets to show how much they wanted him. Under Guardiola and City he can develop a lot and get lot of achievements as well. As for City, they are adding another strong player to the squad so they will really find it easy in the games.

For sure is a great deal for everyone. Leipzig had made a record with this sale and they will go on to look for replacement now and to develop him like Gvardiol again.

I tell you if liverpool was counting on salah last season. Gakpo and Nunez have shown improvement during pre-season, but we're unsure if they can perform consistently. I don't expect many changes for the club..
Gakpo and nunez were really disappointed last season. Liverpool was also losing one of its star fabinho which is also very important for the club. I still need to watch more game from liverpool before i will be sure if this club will able to be one of strong contender to win EPL this season. Liverpool is now looking for a new player as a replacement for fabinho. Klopp is now trying so hard to get a new player for the club.

Van dijk already picked as a new captain for liverpool but klopp must have found a replacement for henderson too.

Yes, based on how I perceive Chelsea's preseason play, I think they will undoubtedly get better the next season. Chelsea has actually been one of the best teams that performed well in these preseason matches because Chelsea has not lost any of their preseason games. As a result, I am anticipating Chelsea to compete for the Premier League title next season. With this, Chelsea has definitely developed, and I am looking forward to seeing them do well next season. We all know that Mudryk is a good player, but the issue was that, while playing under those  Chelsea former coaches , he did not adapt to their playing style. However, now that he is playing under Pochettino, Mudryk is doing improving.

Van Dijk is also far away from his best shape he had a couple of years ago and he is 32 years old now.

I don't think Liverpool will be a serious contender for the Premier League title. The league has changed quite a bit recently with the clubs Arsenal and Newcastle, which both have to be taken seriously and even though I think Manchester City will dominate the league again, it won't be easy for any other team to qualify for the Champions League. Think about Chelsea as well.

It is City, United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, Chelsea and they could all potentially play a great season. It's a tough competition.

[Zanab247]

Brighton is only club that has not yet sign players in this summer, and they are among the wealthy club in the premier league but I don't know if their coach is well comfortable about their players because Manchester city that won the title this season has signed some potential players with big amount of money. But Brighton performance was very poor last season because they experienced many defeat from some clubs that made their coach not to be happy.  Maybe Brighton coach is waiting for their president to give order before they will start searching for young and talented players to join them next season, and if their coach fail to win the premier league title this season, he will be sack because the president will not give him second chance because he has spend huge amount of money on players.

[HajiBagi]

I think Manchester City,  Pep Guardiola has really played a great role in his career,  Pep Guardiola brought the good talent in him . I consider Erling Haaland to be one of the best player in Premier league right now. In the coming season I believe he will keeps shining just like he did in last season, Haaland in Manchester city this is just the beginning of his greatness, staying for awhile will be good for him and the club .I think he is among the young player's that will take the position of Ronaldo and Messi.

Haaland is no match for Messi and Ronaldo although in the end Haaland will have the same goalscoring stats as the two mega stars. Haaland is just a player who plays as a striker where he is just a target man instead of dribbling and scoring goals with his skills. Messi and Ronaldo are different, but Haaland can certainly grab a few awards for his fine work with Manchester City including the Ballon d'Or.

Haaland, of course, has good performances and also has flashy goal statistics, but I don't agree that Haaland is worthy of being compared to Messi and Ronaldo. In the future Haaland can replace the popularity of these two mega stars, but currently Messi and Ronaldo are still seen as two great players even if they are no longer playing in Europe.

Messi and Ronaldo are the two greatest players in the world, and I don't believe individuals who compare Haaland to them are particularly familiar with the game of football. Haaland is how old? No matter how many games Haaland has played in his career, I don't think he'll ever match what Messi and Ronaldo have accomplished, not even when he reaches their ages. Haaland has only recently gained supporters in the Premier League, and while having similar skills to Messi and Ronaldo, he is unable to match their goalscoring prowess. This is because Haaland is merely a striker player, whereas Messi and Ronaldo both play on the side.

Even Benzema, who is a striker like Haaland, cannot be compared to Messi or Ronaldo because Benzema has scored goals in his career that Haaland has not, and he has also won some leagues that Haaland has failed to win. Benzema can move with the ball and display skills before scoring, but Haaland cannot; he is merely a striker player who his team mates constantly work the ball for. Haaland is unable to move with the ball from the middle with his players and score goals, therefore I don't think it's appropriate to even make this comparison.

Anyway, Liverpool as a team can do better this season, and i guess they are going to do that, but it would be very difficult for Liverpool to win the premier league, i think the closest challenger to City is going to be Arsenal again.

Who knows this season they really did it to win the Premier League trophy, we can not be far from the debate between Manchester City as the most powerful candidate in each season because they were able to win in a row so it would not be surprising many people consider Manchester City again who will win with that trophy.

My speculation about the Premier League must have changed, I predict this season it will no longer be Manchester City who will be the champion but other teams maybe I am more inclined to Liverpool. LOL

That's my own scenario would certainly be a lot of mistakes in that prediction.

Moreover, Salah has also been left behind by Firmino and thus, Salah best partner in Liverpool attacking line will clearly be very different next season. But yes, because Liverpool will also only play in the Europa League and not in the Champions League, then maybe Liverpool will be able to be more focused and consistent to enter the title race in the Premier League standings. Because anyway, I think Liverpool also still have a great chance to become a competing team in the title race, or maybe Liverpool can be part of the candidate team to win the Premier League trophy next season. Who knows, because Liverpool also have a good management and squad too and basically Liverpool are not a mediocre team.

It could happen even it only a friendly match but Chelsea has tried to maximize it performance and this one proof that Chelsea is able to provide improvement this season.
It also possible that the Chelsea coach has a target of getting trophies in other competitions even if they have to go through a stronger club, at least this increase in performance provides an opportunity to get what they want.

I also predict that Man City will not be able to defend the EPL trophy next season. Arsenal, yes even though I'm not a fan of them, I would like to win the EPL trophy from Man City hands. Arteta seems to have big ambitions to present this title, the movement of the Arsenal transfer market proves the seriousness in this matter.

Apart from the luck factor I think it makes sense that Arsenal can fulfill their dream of winning the EPL trophy, as they almost did last season.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Talking about Mudryk but he is quite aggressive because instead of realising that his performance is still not satisfactory he doesn't really reflect a big player because he still has time to reply to criticism on social media even though I know he is also a human being but he must try to be better in attitude and performance on the field.
At the moment the expectations about Hojlund are clearly very large with the price he has hopefully this will not be a flop when he is at a new club. and I also agree with what you said about the media will definitely highlight Hojlund because obviously this can be decent news if indeed Hojlund does not play well when Manchester United has spent more than 70 million for this 20-year-old player.

I have a feeling that Mudryk will do better this season, I have been following the preseason games and watched a few games Mudryk played and I can testify that he looks sharper and more confident.!It will be really nice to see him returning to form again under Pochettino. It could be that Pochettino is the man who can push him to reach his full potential.

It would be great like that because then the positive stigma about him might be minimised and people's view of Mudryk will be different.
On the other hand, it's also good for Mudryk because if his performance improves drastically then it could be a slap in the face to some of the critics including myself.
But of course as I said before, such things still need to be proven and friendly matches even though he played better but that is also not a reference because he still has to prove himself that he is one of the decent players at Chelsea and can compete in the EPL.

The departure of some important Manchester City players like Gundogan has brought its own concerns to their fans, in my opinion it is natural because they are likely to experience a decline in performance next season due to some of its important players who have left.

I don't think the departure of Gundogan and Mahrez would make the team any weaker. Currently, Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva are also rumoured to be leaving the club and if this happens, Pep Gardiola's second team is as strong as the first team and the departure of these players would have no effect on the team's performance next season. Manchester City has also bought Kovacic from Chelsea and has recently had an agreement with Leipzip for Josko Gvardiol, so they team looks solid and they are still favourite to win the English premier league title.

I would agree more if Manchester City will be weaker when they lose their goal scoring machine, Erling Haaland. We know very well that Haaland's contribution was extraordinary last season and it can be said that he has always brought victory to Manchester City through his goals. I don't underestimate the other Manchester City players because they are also very important, but if Haaland wasn't there there is no way they could have won the treble winner last season.

On the other hand, for Pep Guardiola he doesn't need to be confused about finding replacements for some of his key players when he leaves, we know Pep Guardiola can always see the talent of each player. So I think Manchester City will still be in the same form for next season and there isn't even another EPL team that can shake their domination.
