Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

It startled me how badly Chelsea fell to West Ham. Chelsea was supposed to be the better competitor after signing new players and hiring Pochettino. However, the scores showed otherwise. And that West Ham beat Chelsea despite without a player? I cant comprehend it. I havent watched much West Ham this season, but they were good last year. I think Chelsea's upcoming games, especially against Luton Town, have good comeback chances. Missing this chance makes me wonder how long Pochettino will stay at the club. Its all confusing.

After the performance against Liverpool in first game I was expecting something better from them, but this was never been counted how things gone into wrong way, and they have few mistakes as well which are surely needs to be fixed in coming days as well because this is not easy league for any team and these early problems are settle-able but if once they lost their rhythm then surely they could be not able to have better way for staying at the top.

No doubt now their next game against Luton Town is good chance for them to learn from their mistake and make good mark for the future games as well because if they are not able to do things as they need most chances there another season is going to be ruin, and they can go into deep trouble as well.

Chelsea need time to show their quality in the Premier League because this season the average Chelsea player is a new player and also a new coach. So they need time to convince the fans that they will be able to get through this transitional period as well as possible.

Their failure against West Ham is regrettable because their opponent is believed to be easy to beat in this match. But the surprise happened because West ham was able to get full points and beat Chelsea which is inhabited by good quality star players.

It's true as you say, Chelsea must be given time to prove they are a big team. Because they are all new and young players, maybe they need to adapt to create chemistry between players and need a super extra coach who can lift this team so that the games match well and are good.

Indeed, the defeat to West ham must be regretted and used as a lesson so that mistakes like this do not happen again in the next game. But what I'm surprised is, as usual Chelsea buy expensive players and flop, maybe this is because of the burden of the status of expensive players they carry. This cycle repeats itself over and over again, it's normal for players who have performed well at their previous club but feel the mental burden and expectations of club management and Chelsea supporters.

Crystal Palace have been in good spirits against Arsenal so far and they have also managed to put some pressure on Arsenal's defence. The two teams still played out a goalless draw, but Arsenal, who have a lot of quality in their players, are able to play better when building attacks and also defending.

This is a very interesting match because so far both teams have both performed well in attack and defense. It's possible that Crystal Palace will surprise by scoring first, but I don't expect Arsenal to lose. Arsenal need to control the tempo of the game and not make mistakes when Crystal Palace builds on the counter-attack, of course it has been very dangerous so far.

Crystal Palace is undervalued in the game, but we'll see the way things play out. The Gunners are the game's favorite since they have gifted athletes who may earn accolades. Mikel Arteta is seeking for his second win of the season; his priorities will undoubtedly be met this season; there are more goal scoring chances in the second half, but the Eagles did their best to contain the visitors in the first half. In the first half, both teams provide more entertaining functions at Selhurst Park. Arsenal maintains the pressure and dominates every aspect of the game.

[BITCOIN4X]

A decent start to the halfway point of the first half by Arsenal. Crystal Palace are sitting deep as expected and allowing the goonerz to have possession of the ball as they wait to hit on the counter with some long balls.

Declan Rice and Thoma Partey partnership looks to be the favoured pairing by Arteta and both players are beginning to get into a rhythm. It is a shame that Timber sustained that injury cause he was already proving to be a very important signing allowing Arsenal to play with an extra holding midfielder when they have the ball.

Lots of more action expected.

Arsenal were good in this game, but they still failed to score in the first half. Eddie Nketiah and Martin Odegaard had some good chances, but they haven't had the luck to score. The first half was really interesting even though overall Arsenal were able to dominate the match, but Crystal Palace also performed well even though they tended to defend.

I expect a better second half from both teams and I hope there are goals. It's hard to believe that Arsenal have to end this match without a goal or lose to Crystal Palace, but it's also possible for Palace to score on the counter-attack.

...

Arsenal may come to rue some of those missed chances, especially the one by Eddie which was the clearest sight of goal they had all through the first half.
Early goals help to calm the nerves and knock the opponents off their game. But as it stands things are going as well as Roy Hodgson and he can only hope for more of the same in the second half.

The attack Crystal Palace are doing is becoming scary because if Arsenal did not have good defenders, they would have conceded a goal by now. Crystal Palace is playing massive attack and massive defense that is why Arsenal wingers are finding it difficult to break through their defensive line, but Nketiah made some good attempts that could have led to goal.

The second half of the match will be tougher than the first half because I expect changes from both teams.

Arsenal have had two good chances to score, Nketiah did well but could not score the goal. Crystal Palace have had their moments too, and had Saliba the Arsenal defender not been good, Crystal palace would have scored or been awarded a penalty to score. Crystal Palace coach is very advanced and due to his age has better experience and it is showing in this game. There is another 45 minutes for both teams to try to win the game and get the points. Since both coaches have seen how the first half has gone, they would have made some tactical changes to see that their team scores.

Yes, Arsenal had to score in the second half and there had to be substitutions, especially in midfield because Arsenal focused more on attacking from the left and right wings. And also there must be a change in strategy and rotation in order to score goals.
And in the first half both teams had a lot of good chances but were unlucky. And Arsenal also have to be careful with Crystal Palace's counter-attacks, and I think both teams will score in the second half and Arsenal have to win.

I'm sure anyone who underestimated Crystal Palace in this game will regret it. Crystal Palace performed well throughout the first half, of course they were under pressure because Arsenal built their attack well but so far Crystal Palace have been able to thwart it.

Arsenal tend to build attacks on the right wing, several good opportunities were created from that gap considering that Palace's defense area was not good on the left. But from Arsenal's several opportunities, I think only Nketiah failed to take advantage of them properly. Now the second half has started, so I'm looking forward to more interesting goals and games.

Arsenal were able to suppress the hosts from the first half to the second half. We've seen a number of well-built attack attempts by arsenal players but they still haven't been able to score a goal in this match. The match has entered 54 minutes where both teams are still playing 0-0 and no goals have been created so far.

I think if you look at the game from Arsenal maybe they will be able to score 1 goal in this second half. I think Saka should be able to maximize every opportunity to turn it into a goal. Crystal palace relatively defended quite well in this second half. I think Crystal palace wants a draw in this match.

But from Arsenal's several opportunities, I think only Nketiah failed to take advantage of them properly. Now the second half has started, so I'm looking forward to more interesting goals and games.

Arsenal just scored their first goal on a penalty kick. The penalty was awarded because of the goalkeeper's poor challenge on Nkethia. Despite this, Crystal Palace will not back down and will continue to try to dominate the game. Arsenal needs to score more goals to secure this win; otherwise, any minor error by the Arsenal team could result in a draw or lose despite all of their efforts. Arsenal is the bigger team here, but crystal palace are also trying their best to face them strongly heads up.

[Coyster]

I think if Chelsea can't win against Luton Town this weekend, then Pochettino is really under pressure.

Pochettino and Chelsea are under more pressure than they would have loved to be so early on in the season, two matches played and they have scored just two goals, conceded 4, and have only 1 point; that is not the sort of start that the fans would have hoped for. Having said that, Chelsea know that the only option in their next game is a win, and i think the fixture somewhat favors them, they should easily get a win against newly promoted Luton Town on Friday, the game is also in Stamford Bridge, which gives Chelsea more advantage.

I think Arsenal need to score again and indeed this narrow advantage will not guarantee victory for them. Moreover, Arsenal had to play with 10 players after Tomiyasu got a red card in the second half of this. Crystal Palace also continues to attack, they will take advantage of the integrity of their players to put pressure on Arsenal. I think Arteta has to provide the right strategy in a critical match like this and don't let them drop points.

True, Arsenal have led through Martin Odegaard's penalty goal, but now Arsenal are under great pressure after Takehiro Tomiyasu got his second yellow card. Arsenal, who played with 10 men, looked really pressured because Crystal Palace launched an attack well. Of course this is a red flag for Arsenal who might concede a goal if they don't strengthen their defence.

Arteta didn't want to take too many risks late on and he started to improve defensively by playing Jakub Kiwior, Gabriel Magalhaes and Oleksandr Zinchenko. It was hoped that Arsenal would be able to maintain their advantage, but the game was getting tense.

It was difficult for Arsenal's 10 players to compete against Crystal Palace's 11 players. The pressure was too much in the last minutes of the game, and Arteta must have been terrified of conceding a goal at that point. After Tomiyasu's red card, he was able to boost the defense even more, which was a courageous approach to take at the time.

Finally, Arsenal won the game, and I'm impressed that they did so with only 10 players; despite the attacks, they were able to prevent Crystal Palace from winning. Only Arsenal, Manchester City, and Arsenal kept a clean sheet after two league games. As expected, the league is heating up; we’ll watch out for next week football.

A big and necessary win for the Gunners but I still feel they would have done more. First half missed chances from Eddie Nketiah would have seen them three goals ahead but at least a goal is better than none. While, there wasn't much goals, they still managed to hold their own even with a red card and honestly, his absence was somewhat felt by Saka who had to do twice his job. Glad he didn't get any injury tho.
 I'd have to commend the Crystal Palace side because they gave a good performance, 3 shots on goal and 14 goal attempts but none seemed to find the net. It was even during the added minutes that Crystal seemed to regain their composure. I expect to see more from them and since this is their first loss, maybe they can redeem themselves when they meet Brentford (or not ).

[ZAINmalik75]

Arsenal just scored their first goal on a penalty kick.

Finally Arsenal has come to manage a single goal victory against a tough opponent Crystal palace despit its not a big lead but it's ok, if we just look at the stastics of game both team delivered huge performance, both team has same shot it's mean both try hard to take a lead first but only Arsenal manage to score, I think Arsenal should work more on his game play as they take lead due to mistake foul of opponent goal keeper not by thier own strength and tactics strategy. No doubt they were quite good in term of position but they have manage finishing problem too because not everythime you will get such kind of goal scoring opportunity you have to be done it by yourself.

Arsenal's performance deserves appreciation in this match, as well as Crystal Palace. Asenal had a number of good chances in the first half, but they failed to capitalize on them perfectly. Arsenal's performance was fine until the first goal was created, but they were under high pressure after Tomiyasu was sent off by the referee with a red card.

I almost got it as a draw, but Crystal Palace in the end had to give up at home 1-0. It was one of the most tense and entertaining games of the week so far, but I hope there will be more matches like this at the weekend.

The manager's substitution decision was a good one; the players he introduced in the game after the red card played well and were able to keep the pressure on Palace's attackers because most of Arsenal's players were tired and the red card weakened them towards the game.

Finally, Arsenal won the game, and I'm impressed that they did so with only 10 players; despite the attacks, they were able to prevent Crystal Palace from winning. Only Arsenal, Manchester City, and Arsenal kept a clean sheet after two league games. As expected, the league is heating up; we’ll watch out for next week football.

It was a lucky win for Arsenal because I did not expect them to go home with three points considering the pressure Crystal Palace was putting on them after the red card.

Only Manchester City kept a clean sheet in their first two matches; Arsenal conceded one goal against Fulham in their Premier League opening match.

Arsenal is lucky to get a penalty kick in this game. The match will end up with a draw result if Johnstone didn't make a mistake. So, I think Arsenal can't be satisfied with this win, it is just a lucky win. Arsenal must evaluate their tactics and the ability of the players. Arsenal has a better squad, they actually must dominate the match. But if we look at the stats, Crystal Palace players can make difficulty to Arsenal players. It indicates that Arsenal squad looks not ready to compete for the title if they still can't improve their performance.

No doubt they were quite good in term of position but they have manage finishing problem too because not everythime you will get such kind of goal scoring opportunity you have to be done it by yourself.

Arsenal failed to win the ball possession, they are also lack of the accuracy in shooting. I think there are many things to be evaluated by Arteta. Arsenal squad looks not in their best shape in the first 2 matches of this season.
