Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[JoyMarsha]

Chelsea played a better game than Liverpool. Liverpool even had a hard time making a pass. I guess the old legendary Liverpool no longer exists. I expected them to play a more dominant and quality game against Chelsea, who rebuilt the team. Liverpool was the happy team in this draw. That was an interesting thing. In the weeks to come, Liverpool need to be more careful and concentrated.

The two teams performance wasn’t really bad, in the first half of the match, the two clubs had equal chances, but Chelsea dominated the match in the second half of the match. I was surprised with the way Chelsea played, their coach is really rebuilding the club, and with the new signing they made, I am sure their performance will still be so different in their next match. I can’t really judge Liverpool, their performance wasn’t really bad in the match, at least they performed well, but Chelsea, which they played against, is also a strong club.
 

With all the signing of top players into Chelsea, they ought to play at their best than last season they had terrible coaches who don't know how to utilize players to their best form. The money spent on signing new players into Chelsea from the transfer window in 2022 to this year's transfer window is roughly around $1 billion.
As Liverpool's coach, Klopp tried and persisted for a while in the match against Chelsea, while still Liverpool's manager, it wasn't easy to face nine different Chelsea coaches and play in 21 matches against them (winning, drawing, and losing some). I'm giving Liverpool management a high five for believing in and putting their belief in Klopp. The legendary Liverpool would surely come back alive with time.

De Bruyne's absence will be really important for Manchester City. Because he is like one of the most important players together with Haaland now. His productivity makes big difference for the team. Now he is expected to be out around four months due to injury. This must be really sad for Guardiola at the same time.

I wonder how his plans will be from now on. Manchester City need to stay productive to maintain a good run. De Bruyne has played a big role in the team so far with his distribution of passes and great shots. He has a big responsibility in the team so I wonder who will try to make up for him. Maybe Foden would be Guardiola's choice there.

De Bruyne's absence will indeed be a bit of a problem for Man City. But I'm not too worried about the line-up of substitutes that Pep is always ready to play. Well, we know that every player that Man City has collected in the transfer market is a player who has above average quality. So when Man City plays second-tier players, we can even see Man City which is still a strong team. As long as Haaland is on the front line I think Man City can handle this well. But apart from all that, De Bruyne's injury is still a loss for the club. And Pep must also start re-selecting players who deserve to be included in the core team to temporarily replace Bruyne's position. Well there's a lot to choose from but I'm not sure which one Pep will pick. Maybe Foden is the closest to that choice.

Arsenal added goalkeeper reinforcements. They loaned Spanish goalkeeper David Raya from Brentford and they also have an option to buy.
I wonder how much opportunity Raya will get while Ramsdale is in the squad. In this case, Runarsson may be loaned back to a team. Arsenal no longer have a goalkeeper problem. If anything happens to Ramsdale, Raya will play. Raya, who appeared in all matches with Brentford last season, is now a player with increased Premier League experience.

Another news from Arsenal is their player, Jurrien Timber, can't play for a long time because he got injured and this Dutch defender who joined Arsenal from Ajax can't help Arteta and his team for weeks and even months.
However, Arsenal didn't say anything official about this player and when is going to return to the team but I think Arteta was counting on Timber for this season.

 Klopp is a good coach he's had his good times at England but getting back as the champions would be very challenging for him because the competition is becoming very tough due to the number of quality coaches that are presently in the league, Mancity  got Guardiola, United got Ten Hag, Chelsea got Pochettino, Arsenal got Arteta, even Brighton, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Tottenham got top quality coaches as well so even if he bounce back it's not going to be very easy
 I don't know how Guardiola does it but he's proven that he's the best coach in England currently and it would take a while before any other coaches would do what he's done which is winning the treble, their are only two coaches that's done that, Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United, in the past and Pep Guardiola currently.

Manchester United is still trying to sell their player Harry Maguire because this player had many mistakes in the last season and most of the fans are not happy about this player in their team. Harry Maguire is very close to joining West Ham and playing there in the next season but he asked for 17m from Manchester United for leaving this team while Manchester United wanted to give him just 7m.

Meguire was just being so complicated with his requirement to accept westham's offer. Even ten hag is so upset with meguire's attitude in declining an offer that has come for him. He has no place in manchester united anymore and he may be benched till the end of his contract.
MU will not try to terminate him caused by the club is still having a chance to raise some money from selling him to another club. Ten hag shall try to tell him to leave from the club once more.

Meguire was a useless players and it's really bad to see him keep stay in manchester united despite leaving from the club. I think that another drama will be coming between him and ten hag. The deal already an cancelled as the buyer has decided to draw from bidding on meguire.
It's meguire's fault. Manchester united shall try to force him to be sold to another club as soon as possible. MU needs money rather than him. Ten hag is actually aware of this kind of situation.

The good news for Manchester City and their fans is about Rico Lewis, Since we know recently many teams in Europe start growing and caring about younger talents in their teams and investing in younger players instead of hiring expensive players from other teams, Macshter City extending the offer this Rico Lewis for 5 years and he is going to stay in Manchester City for the next five years.

Pep Guardiola targets the younger players presently, he barely even go for old players, always looking for fresh young player that has full potential. The cityzens have solid plans this season, they are always ontop and this time, alot of things will change in their dominance, because one of their most important midfielder is injured, Kelvin De Bruyne, and the club confirmed he will out for several months, in the meantime Pep Guardiola got his backup replacement. Rico Lewis succeeded in extending his contract a long term contract with Manchester City until June 2028. He's 18 and have promising future in Etihad Stadium.

I don't think the 18-year-old Lewis is a good fit as DeBruyne's replacement. De Bruyne is an experienced player and is one of Manchester city's most important players. An inexperienced youngster cannot be taken into the squad as his replacement. However Guardiola is looking to prioritize youth in his squad. Because of this, in future the retirement of senior players should not have a big impact on the team. guardiola is making a long-term plan. I think he will succeed. He is giving opportunities to young players to play alongside experienced players in the squad. However, manchester city's performance will be a bit slower without De bruyne in the squad. I say this because Gundogan, one of the most important players in Manchester city's midfield, has left the squad. Now, manchester City have needed De Bruyne badly this season.

It's likely meguire will not be leaving from there. MU is trying even harder to find a good player right now and used money raised from him to buy the new player. The main problem is also how high meguire's salary is . He wants almost 200k for a week. I don't even think the small club can afford to pay his salary. Staying in manchester united will become the best decision from him amids so many pressures were coming toward him at this moment. I wonder what kind of method gonna be used by ten hag to kick him out from the club.

I had heard that if aston villa has included meguire on the list. Aston villa may come to the manchester united to buy him but im not sure whether meguire will accept it. I meant meguire had many requirements and it's very hard to complete it all.
In fact, MU is also making it even more complicated as the team was refusing to pay him 17m. Let's see how meguire's transfer saga will be going on. This guy is an overrated player.

I can't even believe there are still clubs who are interested in signing him as a new defender.

It seems he is not willing to leave Manchester United and it has been rumored for a long time that he does not want to leave Old Trafford and it seems he doesn't care about the booing of the fans when he plays, if he does end up moving to West Ham it would be much better for his career. and it seems that a club like West Ham will suit him better and it is not impossible that he will experience good development at the club.
It is quite surprising that Liverpool twice failed to bring in a midfielder to their squad after previously Moses Caicedo who refused to play for Liverpool and preferred Chelsea was reported that Romeo Lavia would also be a Chelsea player, even though Liverpool had approached this player beforehand but Chelsea succeeded bought him from Southampton for a higher price, with the two new players they bought Chelsea have quite a lot of new players and somehow they have to comply with FFP.

Lewis is an investment for future of Manchester City and if they can grow him up like Phil Foden, Manchester City will have a good player who is able to play for them in many years. Not all investment in youth players will bring success but it is worthy to take risk as benefit will be very huge when you have a successful case.

Lewis must look at Phil Foden who had some difficult seasons before gradually gaining his position in Manchester City. Sometimes, big clubs will let their young players going to other clubs in loan transfers and give their young players chance to play more regularly. When they see signals of better performance, they will summon those young players back.

Lewis must also look at De Bruyne who failed at Chelsea but succeed in Wolfsburg and got a ticket to Manchester City before becoming a legendary player there.

although not suitable to replace De Bruyne position, at least Lewis can strengthen first in the vacant position rather than having to be replaced with a reserve player who does not necessarily have the performance like Lewis. and Lewis position can be replaced with a reserve player so that the performance of each line will remain balanced and also will not experience a decrease in performance in the next match.
I know that Guardiola is a smart coach and very wise in making decisions so do not worry about Lewis replacing De Bruyne Im sure this not be a big problem in the next match even without De Bruyne but at least the attack line is still able to help provide additional scores like haaland who is ready to score for Man City.

Actually, Harry Maguire's request for compensation to Man United is indeed a natural thing. Because Maguire's contract at Man United is still quite long, which is about 2 more seasons. Which is a 2-year contract worth 19.7 million pounds. So it's only natural that Maguire asks for compensation of around 15 million pounds on the basis of the remaining 2 seasons of his contract at Man United. But when it comes to self-esteem, I actually prefer to see Meguire go to West Ham because actually West Ham and Man United also agree on a transfer price. But the problem is indeed with Meguire and Man United who are both adamant in not getting an agreement regarding compensation money.

Aston Villa are indeed looking for player options they can recruit to replace Tyrone Mings, who suffered a serious knee injury in his first match against Newcastle last week. But Aston Villa is only limited to monitoring and not yet at the stage of planning a bid. Because it could be that Aston Villa will target other players.

Rico Lewis is actually a right back player which mean a same position like Kyle Walker, Walker is already old for 33 years old and this young player should replace his position, not to replace Kevin De Bruyne's position. Although currently Manchester City don't have any player to replace Kevin De Bruyne, but Alvarez can be a temporary solution or Pep can just use a classic strategy where there's no defensive or attacking midfielder, only central midfielder.

De Bruyne has played a big role in the team so far with his distribution of passes and great shots. He has a big responsibility in the team so I wonder who will try to make up for him. Maybe Foden would be Guardiola's choice there.

I also realize that without Debryune, Halaand is not enjoying matches, and when we look at Halaand's performance, how is it? In any match where there is no Debryune, you will see that Hallaand's performance is not that great when compared to the presence of Debryune. However, the absence of De Bruyne may make Manchester City a little weaker. Given that Foden cannot be compared to De Bruyne and Foden's performance is not as good as De Bruyne's, it is very sad for Manchester City to miss a productive player like De Bruyne. I always believe that when we talk about the squad from last season to this current season, De Bruyne is one of the top players under Guardiola, and even Manchester City entirely grew the squad from last season to the current season. De Bryune has an important role to play in the Manchester City squad, and I believe his absence may make the squad look somehow weak.

In my opinion, Pep Guardiola has not yet found a replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, because Kevin De Bruyne was the key to Manchester City's success in winning the prestigious title last season, that is why Kevin De Bruyne has not been eliminated from the list for Selling Manchester City, many roles have been played by Kevin De Bruyne so far and the pass he has provided has become a frightening specter for opposing clubs, regarding new players like Rico Lewis whether they will be suitable or will only enjoy the bench or be loaned to another club, of course Rico Lewis will need time to adapt which requires a process and is given more flying hours by Pep, what's more some players who have high flying hours like Alvarez and friends seem to be continuing to dominate the standings this season to maintain as the defending champions..

The Manchester City team has managed to secure two titles since last season. For every player in the team will have great confidence. As such, Pep Guardiola must discuss other teams and decide how to make his team better than them. Manchester City is a team that believes they can do great things this season as well.

Paul Merson has changed his mind about Chelsea and Liverpool in his Premier League top four predictions after just ONE game. The former Arsenal playmaker had tipped Liverpool to secure a place in the Champions League at the end of the season. However, after watching the Reds in action in their 1-1 draw with Chelsea, and seeing the Blues get the better of Liverpool in the race for Moises Caicedo, he believes that Mauricio Pochettino will lead Chelsea to the top four instead.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/paul-merson-liverpool-chelsea-caicedo-30712727

I do agree with his analyzation. Chelsea may have more chance to be qualified for UCL next season compared with liverpool. I saw some news reported that if salah has been linked to the ittihad, and he was being so mad caused by kloop was deciding to replace him during the game against chelsea. It's also breaking his record as someone who was always making the goal during the first week of EPL. Chelsea will be having a significant impact as there have been some skilled players coming to the club.
Chelsea may able to compete with arsenal and manchester city. The club just needs to keep build its chemistry. Chelsea is having so many young players that need more time to play. I hope pochettino will able to finish in the top 4.

Hard work and dedication always pay off.
Etihad isn’t just getting a player, but they are getting a homegrown hero. Academy to the first team!
I expect plenty of things to come from Lewis in the coming years

Pep Guardiola does not hesitate to substitute players who have difficulty fitting in; he always seeks the best among the best. That's basically how he operates, and it's one of the main reasons he has an advantage over his opponents. Manchester City has the best lineup and has dominated throughout the years, but let's see whether that changes this season. This season, Etihad Stadium would be fantastic, a place of amazing triumphant victory. You are completely correct; everything will improve for those who put in the effort to improve their abilities on the field.

Pep Guardiola targets the younger players presently, he barely even go for old players, always looking for fresh young player that has full potential. The cityzens have solid plans this season, they are always ontop and this time, alot of things will change in their dominance, because one of their most important midfielder is injured, Kelvin De Bruyne, and the club confirmed he will out for several months, in the meantime Pep Guardiola got his backup replacement. Rico Lewis succeeded in extending his contract a long term contract with Manchester City until June 2028. He's 18 and have promising future in Etihad Stadium.

Rico Lewis is actually a right back player which mean a same position like Kyle Walker, Walker is already old for 33 years old and this young player should replace his position, not to replace Kevin De Bruyne's position. Although currently Manchester City don't have any player to replace Kevin De Bruyne, but Alvarez can be a temporary solution or Pep can just use a classic strategy where there's no defensive or attacking midfielder, only central midfielder.

Yes, Rico Lewis is a player who plays as a right back. but often Pep tends to rotate his players, even when in the match against Burnley Lewis was played at left back. Lewis is a young City player, even at a very young age. but sometimes, Pep does not hesitate to play him as the main starter to improve his playing mentality. last season, Lewis became the main starter in 10 matches. it seems, Pep has high hopes for this young player. so this player will be the core squad in the following seasons, as you said Lewis will fill in for Kyle Walker.

Anyway, it seems I'm behind on the news regarding De Bruyne's injury. Bruyne is one of the important players for Pep Guardiola, but if he has to be absent due to injury Pep still has lots of plans he can do. also, Alvarez could be an option as a temporary replacement as you said. even in the match against Burnley, Pep rotated De Bruyne to become a pivot partner with Rodry. while Alvarez filled in for Bruyne in the match.

To be honest I'm not too worried if De Bruyne gets injured, because Pep still has several players as options. but most likely, Pep will not use the system that is the mainstay. tomorrow City will try out a team from the Spanish League, namely Sevilla, in the UEFA Super Cup match. I'm pretty sure Pep will apply the same pattern as against Burnley with a 4-2-3-1 pattern. theoretically, City will still subvert the opposing team even without De Bruyne in that match.
