Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[indah rezqi]

The injury on KDB is really going to affect the Citizens in tonight's game against Seville and even in the EPL fixture against Newcastleon Saturday. We all saw how Manchester City played against Arsenal without KDB, they were horrible but as soon as the man De Bruyne was introduced the game changed in their favor. But I don't see anything special about City without Kevin De Bruyne as of now even with the man Bernardo Silva is not enough to make a change in that team. Is best Pep get someone to fill in that gap or else City won't be as dangerous as of last season.

It is difficult for other players to replace De Bruyne role in the Man City midfield, but Pep Guardiola definitely has a strategy to maximize other lines in order to win the match against Sevilla. This means that Pep still has alternative players who can fill the void. Sevilla has just received defeat in their opening match in La Liga this season, my prediction is that Man City will play as usual by dominating the game.

Seeing the conditions of the two clubs, I think the final score in the match will not be too much, maybe 2-1 for Man City victory.

Yes, Bruyne injury will certainly greatly affect Manchester City performance. Moreover, in the near future Manchester City is also at least led to be able to win. Because anyway, if Manchester City lose by Sevilla in the EUFA Super Cup, it will certainly be very embarrassing. Because as a team that won the Champion League title last season, then of course Manchester City must also be able to beat a team that only won the Europa League title last season. But even so, it seems that Sevilla is also not completely good at this moment, because Sevilla also lost in his first match in La Liga against Valencia.

Maybe yes, with still not completely good for Sevilla condition too, then it seems Manchester City certainly still has a good chance of winning. But yes, for the next Premier League match against Newcastle, it is clear that Newcastle is also not a weak team. Therefore, I hope at least Pep can make the right rotation and of course, I hope Pep can still make Manchester City have good dominance also at this moment.

I am so sorry for the Chelsea fans but I see it as a team in decline and I dont understand if the new owner wants to invest money in it or is simply dismantling it piece by piece. What do you think about it? I dont understand nothing about it honestly, probably i dont read more news.

Well for your information chelsea fans are really excited about what’s going on in the club currently and all these signings bring them nothing but joy so I don’t see any reason you should feel sorry them. Ever since chelsea won the champions league in 2021 they have been struggling and their performance is only getting worse and with what they experienced last season i think this is the best change that can happen to them. The transformation has been great and this transfer they have done so far is one of the best because they are not just bringing in more players but also selling surplus players that are not in the coach plans. They have successfully transformed their team and I believe these new players are worth spending so much for and from their last match performance against Liverpool you can see their is positive impact so far. The coach has shown positive energy around the team and like wise the players, Let’s wait and see what they can offer, i hope they don’t disappoint like the old players and coaches.

Mauricio Pochettino seemed comfortable with the club's current setting, and the manager is determined to implement an effective winning strategy that is going to enhance the team's performance in matches. Chelsea will be a formidable squad in the EPL this season, having their entire concentration on the league and ultimate objectives to achieve in the new season.

Exactly what i see from the team so far. They sign players from positions they lack and most of these players have shown massive improvement since the arrival of the coach, Mudryk, Jackson, Enzo and James have all shown improvement and they all seemed determined and hungry. The performance against Liverpool shows they have alot to offer this season and teams should be wary of them because i see a potential title contender. Even with the number of new players brought in they have managed to sell a lot of players because the coach made it clear he doesn’t want an overcrowded team.

The injury on KDB is really going to affect the Citizens in tonight's game against Seville and even in the EPL fixture against Newcastleon Saturday. We all saw how Manchester City played against Arsenal without KDB, they were horrible but as soon as the man De Bruyne was introduced the game changed in their favor. But I don't see anything special about City without Kevin De Bruyne as of now even with the man Bernardo Silva is not enough to make a change in that team. Is best Pep get someone to fill in that gap or else City won't be as dangerous as of last season.

KDB’s injury problems have been serious lately and i think soon enough Guadiola would find a solution for that because it has always affected the team right from last season. He is a very important player in the squad and the absence of Mahrez and Gundogan will even make it even worse because there have not been any new signing to replace them and now KDB is out too leaving only Rodri available for games to come. I’m sure more signings will be made before the end of the transfer window but how would he manage the team for games to come especially against Newcastle who always give them a tough time. After trashing Aston Villa Newcastle still look dangerous just as last season so they would be a tough opponent for Manchester city especially in the absence of KDB.

[Hyphen(-)]

I am not a Chelsea fan, but I can confidently tell you that Chelsea is well prepared for this season. They will compete for the English Premier League title because they have been preparing for this season. Right from last season Chelsea has never hesitated to actively participate in the transfer window. They have bought so many young and good players within two transfer windows.

Chelsea has indeed stocked good players that will be enough to actually compete for the Premier League title because the amount of money they spent in the transfer window back then in January and the money they are currently spending in the transfer market is enough for the team to claim a title this season, even if it is the FA Cup or Carling Cup, and if possible, to win the Premier League this season.

And we all see that their performance improved during the pre-season. So no one should be doubtful about the performance of Chelsea this season. Even if they may not be able to win the English Premier League, it is so certain that by next season they will qualify for the Champions League.

Chelsea's performance during pre-season matches was impressive and has proven how well they were prepared for this season, and their match against Liverpool last weekend shows that they can actually compete for the title along with Arsenal, Manchester City, and Manchester United.

But there is an assurance that Chelsea might finish in the top four because they focus only on the Premier League since they are missing out on the Champions League and Europa League.

[AakZaki]

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.

Of course they are favourites, they have built a huge empire over the past almost 7 years after Pep came to Man City. But some of the names the players have done a great job picking away. Like Gudongan, Cancelo, Silva so there seems to be a pessimism they can repeat winning two titles or three titles for next season. Currently, the transfer market and the distribution of players in big teams are cumulatively improving the team. So this new season will be even more difficult for EPL teams.

Tottenham - Manchester United is going to be one of the attention getting games this week. Tottenham are going to play their second game without Kane in the season. In the first one they weren't very bad. But the weaknesses in defense still goes on. They are at least staying productive now. In that game Maddison contributed great by 2 assists as well.

Richarlison is their new main centre-forward from now on. But I'm curious about how good they can play against Manchester United. In the previous season in the same game Kane played but only made an assist. They barely saved one point after getting 2-0 behind. Let's see what happens this time. I think the Red Devils won't lose again.

Although Tottenham has lost Kane, I do not believe it will make the team weak; the team performance has not changed. Manchester United is also very strong, and their performance was also good in their first encounter. This game will somehow go in favour of the home team. But based on how their first Premier League match went, Manchester United appears to be in good shape this season. To be honest, I am unable to predict this match because Tottenham is a strong opponent, and I am unable to evaluate the team's performance based on the absence of Harry Kane.

But to be completely honest, Tottenham should also prepare well for Manchester United because United will want to use Kane's absence to their advantage. United will be relieved that Kane is no longer on the team, and Tottenham will struggle to score goals like they used to. However, I also want United to avoid being complacent or believing Tottenham cannot defeat them. Due to the fact that a game can alter at any time, Tottenham may end up being stronger than them.

I doubt with Chelsea opportunity managed top fourth standings place in this season although have many left schedule without participants in UEFA Champion League or Europe League. Have bigger chance for Liverpool back to Champion League spot standings next season than Chelsea still need adapt with several news players.

Are you judging Chelsea draw with Liverpool as a bad start to the season, are you forgetting how horrible Chelsea was playing last season and didn't you watch the game to see that we balled Liverpool all through the match. We didn't just take our chances or the game could have easily gone our way but a draw for two top clubs is okay because atleast no body lost. The story will be different when we play a smaller team in week two game. Chelsea has all the opportunity to win the league so finishing top 4 is not what we should be concerned about this season as that's already happening but we need to put pressure on winning the league because not having time to prepare or a quality manager is no longer our problem as we had the preseason to prepare and we utilized it very well.

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.

We're not scared of FFP because we sold alot of players in the transfer window for very high price and more are still going to leave. There's report of Hakim Ziyech also finalizing his moved so FFP don't have anything on us. Also we're not paying all the money right now for our transfers, we're spreading it across their years of contract. Chelsea board thought everything through before going this hard in the transfer markets and if we get fined, we have already invested in youngsters that wesent on loans to gain more experience and they'll be mature to play for us in the future. Liverpool scouts didn't do their homework properly and next time they won't go ahead to ahead with Chelsea in the transfer market and this losses should teach them a lesson to not bid for players when they haven't sealed personal agreement with them.

To be Frank Chelsea has a chance to qualify for the next year Champions league, because they are not playing any European competitions this season, their focus should be the league cups and premier league games. They have many chances to fight for the champions league spot. Because Manchester city, man utd , Newcastle and  Arsenal Will be playing many games than Chelsea this this season, Chelsea should be thinking on how to make the top Four at the end of the season.

The injury on KDB is really going to affect the Citizens in tonight's game against Seville and even in the EPL fixture against Newcastleon Saturday. We all saw how Manchester City played against Arsenal without KDB, they were horrible but as soon as the man De Bruyne was introduced the game changed in their favor. But I don't see anything special about City without Kevin De Bruyne as of now even with the man Bernardo Silva is not enough to make a change in that team. Is best Pep get someone to fill in that gap or else City won't be as dangerous as of last season.

It is difficult for other players to replace De Bruyne role in the Man City midfield, but Pep Guardiola definitely has a strategy to maximize other lines in order to win the match against Sevilla. This means that Pep still has alternative players who can fill the void. Sevilla has just received defeat in their opening match in La Liga this season, my prediction is that Man City will play as usual by dominating the game.

Seeing the conditions of the two clubs, I think the final score in the match will not be too much, maybe 2-1 for Man City victory.

I don't think losing De Bruyne has had much of an effect on Manchester City's game as a whole. Pep Guardiola, of course, has prepared several other schemes that keep his team stable. Mateo Kovacic is the right alternative to fill that void and he is also a player who is quite experienced so I think Kovacic will be able to give maximum role in midfield. City will certainly win against Sevilla in the Super Cup Final, I have absolutely no doubts about the capacity of Manchester City under Pep Guardiola.

[KTChampions]

Manchester City team is expected to defeat Newcastle for sure. However, since KBD is injured, Manchester City's attack may be a bit weak. But I hope that Pep Guardiola will fix that place wisely.

Seeing how poorly City play against a weak Sevilla, I'm not at all sure that City can beat a strong Newcastle. Given that both City and Newcastle are good defensively, I'd rather bet on BTTS No than on the victory of one of the teams. It seems that the KDB injury could break City's plans for this season (the main thing is that the competitors do well).

Chelsea has a better chance to be part of the top four this season from the way they started the season. Chelsea is not taking part in any big competition and they can remain focus to achieve this. It was a good start for Chelsea due to their previous performance last season.

Liverpool also tried their best to draw the match instead of losing it because the pressure from Chelsea in the second half was too much for them but they could still resist a goal to deprive them from a have a point. The season will be full of surprises from various clubs.

[Bananington]

ity will certainly win against Sevilla in the Super Cup Final, I have absolutely no doubts about the capacity of Manchester City under Pep Guardiola.

Sevila team did very well in the first half, they defended really well and were able to stop many of the attacks on their goal. They also successfully isolated Haaland, and made use of the few chances that they were able to create. I see Sevilla as the team that will win if they will be able to put up a stronger performance in the second half. Manchester City coach is good at spotting and making changes, he must have talked to his team in the dressing room and corrected some errors that they made in the first half as well as the best way to beat this strong Sevilla defense.

[iamsange]

Mauricio Pochettino seemed comfortable with the club's current setting, and the manager is determined to implement an effective winning strategy that is going to enhance the team's performance in matches. Chelsea will be a formidable squad in the EPL this season, having their entire concentration on the league and ultimate objectives to achieve in the new season. Todd Boehly is not backing down, taking urgent action in the transfer window to help the club. Chelsea lost their starting XI this season, and the new manager is considering bringing in additional talent to replace the voids in the squad.

Chelsea signed a lot of players last season, and this season I was not expecting them to still be making huge bid for players since they already spent so much money, but money does not seem like an issue for Todd Boehly, he is still actively bringing young and talented players to the team and committing them with long contracts. The effect that this will have on Chelsea is that in the next couple of seasons, there will be so many talented young players in Chelsea, and there will be many quality options both on the field and in their substitute list for every game. Chelsea is planting seeds for the future.

Chelsea are one of the strongest teams in England after making these recent additions to the squad.I really love what Pochetino did as he arrived,removing old players that were contributing less to the team,and also players that were been paid huge amount of money.He recruited a couple of young talented players that  are very good at what they do.The recent addition that they just added to their list of players which is Caicedo from Britton,that player is very quick and solid,and his addition will really strengthen Chelsea's defence.They drew their first game,but what I saw that day was really good,it showed that they have improved and that they are better than last season.I said it before that Chelsea will shock people this season,and big teams will find it very difficult to win them now.Lets all wait to see how they can compete this season because I know they might be aiming to enter the top four,and with what I have seen from their preseason to their first game,they might qualify for top four this season.

Pochettino is trying to rebuild the Chelsea empire that was slumped last season. The presence of the former Tottenham coach seemed to bring fresh air for Chelsea fans to see his team again able to compete at the top of the standings. The man from Argentina is also reformatting the team as a whole, he is also firm in selecting players to complete his squad. The transfer policy that he did was also not in a hurry and of course according to the needs of the team. The Chelsea squad this season is mostly decorated with potential young players, I think the owner of Chelsea has made a long term investment for his team. I believe Chelsea will be very strong in the next few seasons. But for this season it seems that Chelsea's steps are very difficult if they are targeting to finish in the top four but do not rule out the possibility and their chance for that is still there, even though the percentage is very small.

On paper, the Manchester City vs Sevilla match should be easily overcome by Pep Guardiola's squad. because after all, these two teams have quite a clear gap from various aspects. referring to the H2H meeting of these two teams, in 4 matches City always beat Sevilla with a big score. in fact I'm quite sure, if this fight will only take place in 2x45 minutes of normal time without extra time.
Referring to the predicted line-up for Manchester City, it seems that Pep will not play Bernardo Silva in this match. Pep seems to be implementing a 4-2-3-1 system. Halaand is a goalscoring machine, Phil Foden, Alvarez, Grealish, play behind Haaland. Kovacic and Rodri formed a duet as a pivot. the rest, defensive line players. now we go to the available odds, City with odds @1.41, Sevilla with @8.20 and a draw @4.30. theoretically, City will win this match even if Pep does not play Silva and Bruyne who have been hit by injury. I'm quite sure, this fight will not end in a draw and it is even more likely that City will win a landslide victory. at least, they can score 2 goals against Sevilla.

Referring to what you said, maybe the match against Sevilla can be an advantage for Newcastle. because, City will have a match against Sevilla in the next few hours. after this match, City will try Newcastle in the Premier League competition. IMO, City is a team that has been tested and proven how consistent they are and the depth of their players. I'm pretty sure, Newcastle will be defeated by City in the match later. although to be honest, I expected City to get a draw against Newcastle. thus, Arsenal must win their match against Crystal Palace. automatically, the position of the temporary standings will change.

There we go and Sevilla has the lead. Pep Guardiola made little changes to the squad if I am not wrong here and yet Sevilla managed to be more efficient than Manchester City. It is precisely the game that was expected although I thought that Sevilla would be a bit more actively participating than they actually are. Full focus on their defense and then wait for the few chances to come up and to convert them. This is what they did so far.

The hard thing about Sevilla is to strike back against them in these tournament modus games once they took the lead. They really understand how to subordinate everything else to their defensive work without sacrificing to be dangerous enough to score a second goal. Half an hour to go.

[Leviathan.007]

Another player is going to join the premier league and Aston Villa soon, Okan Buruk the coach of Galatasaray recently said their player Nicolò Zaniol is going to join Aston Villa soon. This player is going to play for Aston Villa on loan for 4m. Nicolò Zaniolo is a player who joined Galatasaray from Roma for 15m and it seems Galatasaray can make good profits from this 24-year-old player when he leaves the team.

The injury on KDB is really going to affect the Citizens in tonight's game against Seville and even in the EPL fixture against Newcastleon Saturday.

Fine, Kovacic can fit in but can he do the job as KDB?
I haven't seen anybody on that Manchester City side that can fit in that KDB position. I recently said City don't depend on one player, that was when Riyad Mahrez was about to leave but I've come to see that whenever De Bruyne is not on the line up City seem to be like a team from relegation.

The premier league started, the defending champions are keen on defending their title challenge. Perhaps the cityzens have lost some key players this summer, but they'll continue to be fierce in their performance this new season. Kelvin De Bruyne is one of the big names in City, his presence means tough threat for opponents, he's an important master piece of Pep Guardiola project. Manchester City performance is gather from the positive contributions of different players on the pitch. Pep Guardiola knows what he wants, he works so well on his squad.

[RockBell]

Manchester City team is expected to defeat Newcastle for sure. However, since KBD is injured, Manchester City's attack may be a bit weak. But I hope that Pep Guardiola will fix that place wisely.

it won't be that easy the way you're saying it in a way Newcastle is currently on fire, it is looking as if every club is on fire and the season is just starting, and plenty of clubs are ready this season for manchester city, is not doing to be an easy ride for them this season, and de brune not present to has its own effect on Haaland since he gives haaland one of the best assist, and they clearly needs to start adjusting to the new development, let us see the outcome of the game.

Seeing how poorly City play against a weak Sevilla, I'm not at all sure that City can beat a strong Newcastle. Given that both City and Newcastle are good defensively, I'd rather bet on BTTS No than on the victory of one of the teams. It seems that the KDB injury could break City's plans for this season (the main thing is that the competitors do well).

How surprising and interesting the game is and how Sevilla is seriously putting pressure on manchester city, and losing a very good opportunity to score, am actually impressed with Sevilla's performance tonight, but with this pressure, I expected more goals from them and manchester city is has already equalized and what happened during the community shield with arsenal is somehow repeating itself again playing 1:1 and pressure is now coming from both sides and something is telling me Sevilla will win this game, to some extent they actually do deserve it.

Oyes, it does. De Bruyne and Rodri are the main defensive squad of Manchester City, they are very convertible in any matches they have and if you observe carefully, Kovqcic is not durable as him. Haaland hardly makes goal in when De Bruyne isn't playing, he don't have goals because he is just another tapper, it's absurd when the compare him with like of Messi and Ronaldo because of his contributions in just last season. Manchester City are even finding it hard to finish off Sevilla, they have everything but it seems Sevilla is just proven stubborn to defeat  because even by ball domination, Manchester City is far ahead but Sevilla defensive line is like a concrete that is proven to be a blockage that are not giving up, perhaps in the next 5 minutes, they will get tired and Manchester City will win but if the other way happens, then you will understand the absence of De Bruyne.

Calm down bro, it's too early to start counting your chicks before they hatch. One performance is not enough for you to conclude that you are going to win the league. I watched the game and I was really impressed with Chelsea's performance and like you said Chelsea couldn't utilize most of their chances if not they would have buried the game. Jackson missed a couple of good chances but one player that stood out in sunday's game is Enzo, the dude was just unreal. But it is still 1 of 38 EPL matches, who knows the blues might decide to go back to their last season's default settings.

I don't think losing De Bruyne has had much of an effect on Manchester City's game as a whole. Pep Guardiola, of course, has prepared several other schemes that keep his team stable. Mateo Kovacic is the right alternative to fill that void and he is also a player who is quite experienced so I think Kovacic will be able to give maximum role in midfield.

This game is really important to Manchester City because they have not won the UEFA super cup before. Whether KD is playing or not, the available playing are giving their best and from what I'm seeing  Manchester City are not doing badly, they have pulled one back to restore parity. If Manchester City doesn't win the game in extra time and it goes to penalty shootout, then any side can win it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
