Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[rendravolt]

Spurs introduced their new signing, Micky van de Ven from Wolfsburg. He is a young defender that Spurs have signed for this summer and he has also made 36 appearances since last season with Wolfburg. His role was so important for the defense that the Spurs were interested in signing him. Coach Ange Postecoglou is certainly very pleased with the arrival of this young player and he also wants to ensure that Spurs will not be short of players for next season's competition. So far Spurs have signed every player in an even position from goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and striker, it looks like they are ready to fight for better results.

Manchester City are an important team and they have strengthened their defence by reinforcing Gvardiol. Still, I think Arsenal is a team that can compete with them. Both teams had competitive matches last year. Even though Arsenal haven't been successful in their last period, I can say that Manchester City is the most difficult opponent. I think we can see a rivalry between the two teams this year as well.

Watching Arsenal developing the strength and courage to face Manchester City is incredible, they got good qualities and still improving. Manchester City snatched the EPL trophy from Gunners. Mikel Arteta have proven to be a pre-eminent rival for Pep Guardiola in the English premier league campaign. The previous season, they both got really tough and competitive, both teams didn't relent in their actions, always one step ahead of others. We would witnessed another top run from them this new season, afterall they have signed more potential players and ready for kick-off.

I wonder how Burnley will play against Man City.... Burnley are new this season and they immediately fell to the most difficult opponent in the EPL, especially after losing the Super Cup... Of last season's newbies, only Nottingham Forest remain... It will be interesting to see if Burnley can repeat such success....

I think it can also be an advantage to have a game like that very early. They don't have anything to lose and they can find out what their own condition is. If they lose that game big time, nobody will really care that much and they would rather play against Manchester City on the first day of the season than on the last day of the season when it might be a decisive game in the fight for the safe ranks in the table.

Can't wait to see how the game between Chelsea and Arsenal will end. It could end in a horrible start for one of the teams, but a draw would also be disappointing although I guess both teams would be ok with it after the results of last season.

Usually early and end of season are unpredictable, playing with new teammates and not really warmed up can be a reason of why early season is unpredictable. While the end of season, when a team already secure their position with big margin, they will play with their second layer or not really serious.

Arsenal should be win against Chelsea, recent with of Community Shield trophy should bump their mental and motivation.

[hyudien]

Guardiola is having very good strategy which is now surely helping him and his team, hopefully now in Premier League he will be improved and will not allow his opponents for having any advantage for the title race.

Yes, there is no doubt that Guardiola is able to find new players who are really right to fill in several lines, including at the back with the arrival of Josko Gvardiol, of course, it will make Manchester City's defense even stronger, even though yesterday they lost, at least the defeat on penalties did not make manchester city game looks bad.

Need adaptation for new players to play with the strategy given by Guardiola, of course, it will bring changes to the Manchester City game, ahead of the EPL match which will not take place very soon, of course, I can't wait to see how the Manchester City squad team can get another title in this new season, considering of course The competition is very tight in the EPL this season, but I believe Guardiola can bring the EPL title again this season.

In any case, Man City must remain vigilant because Arsenal currently has bigger targets, especially after returning to the Champions League their motivation will be even more intense than last season. Arteta and his squad cannot be underestimated, says Man City defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield Competition is a good sign and at the same time an evaluation for Arteta. Even though that's not enough, I can still see Arsenal ambition and it should be appreciated, we just need the right time to witness Arsenal's squad really being perfect.

The referees for the opening week of EPL already officially announced here https://www.premierleague.com/news/3618994?sf268255018=1

It surprises me to see that how anthony tylor gonna be a referee in the match between chelsea vs liverpool. There have been so many controversial decisions already made by him in so many matches. Even people have known so well how bad he was treating chelsea.
It's not a good day for chelsea to see how this referee was always putting chelsea at so many disadvantage. Even so many people called him as fraud referee.

I hope anthony can be a fair referee during the match against liverpool. I thought he had been deactivated before.

You are right and I agree that referee Anthony Tylor has proven that in some games his decisions tend to be unfair. It could be that in this match Chelsea are at a disadvantage, to be honest I don't like the match led by Anthony Tylor.

[jostorres]

Arteta will definitely try to compete with Guardiola, but my guess is that Arsenal will have a downturn at some point. You see how Guardiola brings the team to the peak, at the beginning of the season they don't always have the best game, but towards the end of the season they reach their optimal form and I think this is a very correct strategy.

Arsenal, on the contrary, started the season very well, but in the most crucial period, at the end of the season, they lost all advantage, conceded too many goals and as a result lost the championship to City. If Arteta does not change anything and everything repeats again, then most likely the result will be the same.

I think Arteta gained significant experience from last year and will warn his players about this. Manchester City were lucky because last year Arsenal have been losing in the league with huge inconsistencies lately. I don't think we will follow the same scenario this year. If Arsenal takes the lead this year, they will continue to develop various tactics with Arteta to use this advantage.

I am feeling right now even he is young and having his first job as coach but doing impressive job even we can recommend him as one of the best soccer coaches in world right now because his tactics and chemistry is amazing, and he already has few good results from his start as well which are going to help him in near future for the better results in last season he fails to have any big success due to some injuries and other issues, but now his start is aggressive, and he will surely be going with his own style which will help his team for the better end of this season.

In first game of the season, as he gives tough time to team like Manchester City this is impressive and now most chances pundits will also feel good about their end of the next season hopefully now he will change his way with learn from his mistakes which done in last season.

Can't wait to see how the game between Chelsea and Arsenal will end. It could end in a horrible start for one of the teams, but a draw would also be disappointing although I guess both teams would be ok with it after the results of last season.

At least, the opening match will be a match between last season Premier League title winners against last season Championship title winners. Indeed, at least it will be certain that Manchester City will still win in this match and I don't care, whether Manchester City will win with a big score or only with a low score. Because after all, Burnley do not have the quality to be able to beat Manchester City even though indeed, Burnley will play at home. But still, Manchester City is a team that managed to get a treble winner last season, of course Manchester City has quality above average.

So far Spurs have signed every player in an even position from goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and striker, it looks like they are ready to fight for better results.

This should be good for fans and the league. The rise of Arsenal and Newcastle last season may have sparked the changes we see now in other major clubs. Chelsea has also been quite busy as well so they have every intention to compete for the top four at the very least.

I would say Newcastle played better than Arsenal last season. This season, these two teams will perform better, it is understood by seeing something new in the team. However, I am more optimistic about the Newcastle team than the Arsenal team.

Coming from the defeat in Sunday's Community Shield game, Manchester City will like to stamp their authority again in the English Premier League and also send a strong message to other league clubs that they're still the best in the league and the only way to do that is by winning their match against Burnley with a high goal margin.
Burnley having being promoted in from the championship will start their premier league test with the best in the league and if they can get a draw from that game, it'll  be a good result

I don't think so, Newcastle haven't made a lot of changes this season, nor have Arsenal in fact Arteta's side have added a lot of strong players and they have a fairly even squad now between the starting line-ups and also the back-up, so I think it's going to be like this season then if Arsenal will be much stronger than Newcastle.

While Tottenham haven't made many changes for next season, I'm a bit pessimistic this team will be able to compete at the top flight.

Nice to see Arsenal win the Community Shield. Last season he also challenged for the EPL title with Man City. I hope this season Arsenal can win the Premier League. I also see Man City as if it was a big mistake to let Gundogan go to Barcelona, even though he is one of the players who often makes the difference between Haaland, Foden and Silva having trouble scoring goals. Arsenal only killed off De Bruyne's move, Man City couldn't do much up front, even though there was still Silva, but not as genius as Gundo and Mahrez in opening scoring opportunities.

It's a new challenge for burnley to come back to EPL again and it's gonna facing manchester city in the opening match. Kompany must be thinking so hard about how to get at least 1 point against manchester city. In fact, if we are seeing the quality of players owned by either of clubs and i wanna say if manchester city far above burnley in everything. Burnley can hope if it will not lose full points against manchester city or it will be a bad opening match for burnley. I wonder what kind of strategy used by kompany to face manchester city very soon.
Losing in the community shield cup was nothing for city. It has another target to be reached at the end of the season to get treble winners again. Burnley must have fully prepared its mentality to face manchester city.
The only good thing if burnley gonna be hosting the game against city. It was giving small boost on burnley's mentality.

Tottenham will face Barcelona tonight for the Joan Gamper trophy while they are getting ready got the match but Tottenham won't use Harry Kane for this match and it seems Kane will be absent against Barcelona, while some fans and people are thinking about Kane's transfer to Baytern Munich and they think Kane is not going to play because he is going to leave Tottenham soon to another team, but the real reason for Kane to be absent in this game is because of taking a rest before the game between Tottenham and Brentford.

The improvements that have occurred in the Arsenal squad cannot be separated from several new players, such as Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber. Being played as a starter made Arsenal's squad more solid, even though they conceded first to Man City. Arsenal benefited from the new regulations regarding injury time, with the additional time they could equalize until the match ended in a penalty shootout.

But I think apart from that, appreciation should be given to Arteta for winning the 2023 Community Shield trophy. The EPL will start in a few days, this weekend to be precise, can't wait to see the competition in the first week.

Bad news for Chelsea fans that their new player which is transfered from RB Leipzig Christopher Nkunku has got long term injured that yesterday he has just completed the surgery to recover from his injury and according to the Chelsea medical team they had predict injured duration for Nkunku and it took 4 months or could be more to Nkunku to fully recover which mean Nkunku will not be available until 2024 early and this situation was pushing Chelsea to find other striker and Nkunku was transfered from Leipzig last month with 52 millions and during pre season matches he has displayed impressive performance and Christopher Nkunku even can able to scores goals several times but unfortunately he got injured which is this situation is very unexpected

Tottenham will face Barcelona tonight for the Joan Gamper trophy while they are getting ready got the match but Tottenham won't use Harry Kane for this match and it seems Kane will be absent against Barcelona, while some fans and people are thinking about Kane's transfer to Baytern Munich and they think Kane is not going to play because he is going to leave Tottenham soon to another team, but the real reason for Kane to be absent in this game is because of taking a rest before the game between Tottenham and Brentford.

I usually don't bet on friendly matches. However, I am willing to bet on Barcelona to win today's match. I watched the performance of the Barcelona squad in the last few matches. This team is playing well. They also won against AC Milan and Real Madrid.
Barcelona's past record against Tottenham is quite good. Barcelona have won two and drawn one of their last three matches. Harry Kane and Son's performance in all three matches was very good. If Harry Kane is not with the squad today, it will be difficult for Tottenham to score against a team like Barcelona. Barcelona's defense has been very solid in the last few matches. They did not concede a goal against Madrid and Milan.

[bitgolden]

Harry Maguire is the player who makes the most individual mistakes at Manchester United. If a goal is scored as a result of his mistake, Onana gets very angry. When we empathize, everyone feels the same. Goalkeepers hate scoring goals and conceding a goal because of a mistake can make them angry. I hope Onana can show the success of his former team under the Manchester United jersey.

Maguire's time at Manchester United is up and maybe he's going to find his mojo back in another club or maybe not but it will be good news for United fans to see him finally leave. He has worked with 3 different coaches; OGS, Ralf Rangnick, ETH and none could get the best out of him, he's been partnered with different players but he's still making the same clumsy mistakes and causing United game points. After sealing the center forward deal last week, the next position that needs to be strengthened is the center back position. Manchester United can use the proceeds from Maguire's sales to get a better replacement, currently many names are been linked to the club but one player that has caught my eyes is Jean-Clair Todibo.

The fact that he was bought for that much money and even captained is still beyond crazy to me. That dude is not a good player and he does mistakes no defense should make and he should have been gone long time ago. Like for example if they sold him last summer, would that really made any difference? Like what did they get out of him all year long this summer? I do not think that they got anything major if you ask me at all, they got nothing out of keeping him.

So, it's good that he is leaving now, and I think they could focus on the defenders they have a lot better this way, getting rid of him as an option does make it easier to put more effort on who they have to be better and give them more time without a doubt.

If Harry Kane is not with the squad today, it will be difficult for Tottenham to score against a team like Barcelona. Barcelona's defense has been very solid in the last few matches. They did not concede a goal against Madrid and Milan.

I think the reason Kane is not playing is because Kane is still in the transfer negotiation stage, to avoid injury or other unwanted things. Without Kane presence, Tottenham attack line is certain to be blunt, on the other hand Barcelona is superior. In the last four matches Barca won three times and lost once against Arsenal.

While Tottenham won their last two matches, this is less because some of their pre-season matches have been postponed. I'm very curious about the quality of Barcelona squad against Tottenham from the EPL.

That was the problem with the previous group, and it is currently happening with the current club, with significant injuries occurring even before the league officially commences. Christopher Nkunku will undoubtedly return to the team, but given the time frame, his performance will probably be affected and he may not be able to recover completely.  We all know how desperately Chelsea demands this particular player, but things are getting out of hand at Stamford Bridge. Mauricio Pochettino, the new manager, is assessing his players, getting them more acquainted on the training ground and in friendly games, so he understands who belongs to his project and who should be excluded.
