Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

No, Arsenal last season was started quite good and they achieved many points, the mistake was happen in the near end of the season and Manchester City able to overtake Arsenal's position. Arsenal was only sign few players and most of their players are veteran, so there was no big change and they will with the same strategy.

While Chelsea, pretty much like a new club who has new coach and new players.

Arsenal I started very well in last season,  they were ahead of Manchester City with good number of points. What affected Arsenal  from ot winning their games towards the end of the season was because their players  had exhausted their energy, and this was the only set of players they had in the team,  if their were sufficient players in the club it would have been difficult for them to start performing bad later in the season.  Arsenal really did very well in their performance last season,  I'm sure they  are ready learn from their mistakes of last season .

Because at the same time, that Salah also still chose to stay and play at Liverpool. Therefore, there is no excessive drama about this transfer about Liverpool rejecting offers from Saudi Pro League clubs. But indeed, at least Liverpool still need Salah because after all, Liverpool have lost Mane and Firminho and thus, then of course Liverpool should keep Salah this season. So yes, at least there is already a picture that Salah will not stay forever at Liverpool and thus, then of course Liverpool must have a quick plan to regenerate with the exact players for Liverpool squad in the future.

Without Moh Salah, Liverpool will definitely experience a big loss, because after all Moh Salah is one of the players whose existence cannot be replaced. And fortunately, Liverpool is still his choice, Despite the incessant promising offers, Moh Salah is very confident that he can still compete with top European players in terms of achievements. I totally agree with the decision he took and indeed Mo Salah deserves to be part of Liverpool in the future. At least for the next 2 seasons, Mo Salah needs to show that he is still irreplaceable.

Luton Town and Burnley are the two EPL promotion teams this season apart from Sheffield and it seems neither of them has had enough of a surprise so far. The reason is that they both did not get 1 point in the 3 matches that have been played. However, both of them are also quite lucky because they have fewer matches than other EPL teams.

Maybe I will focus more on Burnley, we know that this team was led by Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany and from the start, when they were still in the championship division, Burnley was a very promising team. But at the start of the season Burnley did have the unfortunate fate of having to face wild teams like Manchester City, Aston Villa and Spurs. I think it's quite understandable if in the end Burnley couldn't get a single win. However, in the next match against Nottingham, I hope that Vincent Kompany's troops can show their quality this season and at least get their first win.

There are shakiness that they experience towards the end of the season, one of which is what you mentioned which is that they run out of energy to continue to perform well in every match. The depth of their squad has not been fully equalized so when one of their key players has to miss a match they will find it difficult to find a suitable replacement. For example what happened to Jesus who had to miss several matches, although they can still perform well but Jesus' absence is felt even though it is not significant. One thing they have to pay for is that they have to lose the competition with Manchester City in the seconds before the end of the league so they have to give up the position they occupied from the beginning of the season.

Liverpool are keeping Salah just as most people expected them do so. Because the transfer window is closed in England so Liverpool can't bring any replacement for him right now. Salah should continue to be a part of Liverpool at least until the end of the season. What Messi was for Barcelona is exactly what Salah is for Liverpool now.

They need Salah to be successful this season. You remember how poor they performed for a long time in the previous season. They have made progress now and they need to maintain this good effort. We can see Liverpool in the title race again after some break.

Because at the same time, that Salah also still chose to stay and play at Liverpool. Therefore, there is no excessive drama about this transfer about Liverpool rejecting offers from Saudi Pro League clubs. But indeed, at least Liverpool still need Salah because after all, Liverpool have lost Mane and Firminho and thus, then of course Liverpool should keep Salah this season.

At the beginning of 2023 I forget what month it is March or what month. But at that time M. Salah had officially extended his contract at Liverpool for 3 years. But several offers came in yesterday's transfer market, one of which was from an Arab club. Well that's quite a tempting offer. But I also feel happy that Liverpool were able to keep Salah. Because as everyone predicted, Liverpool still really needs M. Salah in their squad. But as you said, the club must immediately look for alternative players who can replace M. Salah. They have to start looking for candidates they will hunt in the next transfer market. Because there are many rumors circulating that M. Salah might leave after this season even though his contract has not yet ended. I personally still hope that Salah can last until his contract ends.

[gabbie2010]

I think Ten Hag should trust Rasmus Hojlund and Garnacho in the main squad. and shifting Rashford to play more freely on the wing to find gaps in the Brighton defense. United will not have it easy in the next match. because Brighton has also proven they can win against Newcastle.
I think Ten Hag has everything he wants right now. just how he makes a good strategy for United and can be executed by his players.

Manchester United are obviously not in prime shape, as they face numerous hurdles this season. It's presumably due to fluctuating positive or negative results in league games, but I was hoping they'd bounce back. Erik Ten Hag is an outstanding coach, he's experienced and comprehend precisely what to do. When it comes to the starting lineup, Rasmus Hjlund and Alejandro Garnacho are both young and vibrant frontlines that are capable of carrying the extra weight for the Red Devils. The match against Brighton will be challenging because the seagulls are in terrific condition. Roberto De Zerbi has an effective technique for defeating premier clubs, but we anticipate the best results from both sides.

Man Utd central defence is the major priority that needed an urgent solution because presently their three central defenders Verane, Martinez and Lindelof are out due to injury with Evans and Maguire two old and unreliable defenders taken over their spot won't be able to stop Brighton from scoring goals, I think this the major area Erik ten Hag should urgently address, however their attack and midfield are in good shape with Casimero, Fernandes, Eriksen, Rashford, Ganarcho and Rasmus Hjlund  while their left and right backs Dalot and Wan-Bissaka also in good shape, recall how Arsenal capitalized on the inefficiency in their central defence to score two late goals after both Lindelof and Martinez were substituted.

[hahay]

Mauricio Pochettino still has time to fix it at least until the middle of the season he has done his best even though we haven't seen the improvement
I'm sure the Chelsea target this season is finished in the top 5 obviously this is not easy but we can't underestimate them who knows their performance continues to improve.
I remember last season Arsenal also did the same bad at the beginning of the season later better at the end of the season and even almost won the EPL.

No, Arsenal last season was started quite good and they achieved many points, the mistake was happen in the near end of the season and Manchester City able to overtake Arsenal's position. Arsenal was only sign few players and most of their players are veteran, so there was no big change and they will with the same strategy.

While Chelsea, pretty much like a new club who has new coach and new players.

It doesn't matter about past results because of course, in this moment they must be able to focus on getting good results in every match. Also, I think Pochettino looks too dismissive of the process, so at this moment Pochettino failed to make Chelsea have good performance and results at the beginning of the season. It is possible, because Pochettino has been accustomed to the Premier League before when he was head coach at Tottenham in the past, so maybe it made Pochettino underestimate the process at the moment of the transfer window yesterday. That way, it will certainly be difficult for Pochettino to restore Chelsea performance in the near future.

[JeffBrad12]

Chelsea went into restructuring.

Chelsea needs to step up their game, it's no news that Chelsea is performing poorly right now because of the players have not yet blended. Take for instance the likes of Caicedo, he has not yet blend into the team, he still loses the ball at critical positions on the football pitch. Moreover, the formation setting isn't working for the team, 3-4-2-1 seriously seems crazy. Despite Chelsea having a high percentage of the ball so far, no doubt they will want to make it count in the score board soon, else it is all a waste.

Chelsea is in a serious trouble now. The club is still facing loss in EPL while there was also another bad news if enzo has been rumored lost his interest to play in the club. He was willing to leave from the club as soon as possible but he has been in a long term contract with chelsea.
Pochettino was the key problem for chelsea. His strategy was not suitable for chelsea but he keep forces his club to use his garbage strategy. Jackson was always so difficult in getting the ball.
Im wondering how long pochettino is gonna use the same strategy.

Manchester United also need to improve before other teams at the top of the table set a big gap between them

Manchester united just needs to fix the problem on its defensive line. I don't even see another problem occured in manchester united. It was equal to the arsenal but the defensive lines must be the main problem for manchester united.
Manchester united doesn't have a lot of defenders at this moment as some of them were injured.

Keeping Salah staying at that team was one thing I really loved about Klopp,when we heard the rumour about Salah leaving premier to Saudi league,I was first shocked because I know that Salah is one of the most important players at Liverpool,and I letting him go will really be a big decision to take.The transfer window has shut down,and we didn't hear any information that said Salah is out of Liverpool,It was indeed a good thing to hear because we just can't be loosing our best players to teams in other league,
And if you look at the Liverpool team now,you will have joy because Nenez is now leaving upto expectations,it now seems this season is his season to explore.

[onecall123]

Manchester United also need to improve before other teams at the top of the table set a big gap between them.

Manchester United have zero chaces of winning the EPL imo, at least not with the group of players they have, they lack that winning mentality and they don't even have the quality to be champions. Manchester United basically have to try and finish in the top four, i think that's the best they can achieve in the EPL this season, they could also try and defend their Carabao cup trophy.

While greedy Glazers still in, I completely agree with Paul Merson about the situation at Manchester United. He said that Man United is quite far from winning the EPL, and it's hard to argue against that. 34 more games to be played, and it feels like they've just started to build a team. Now, with the international break, they'll have to try again. We believe they'll get back to winning ways at some point. What's really crucial now is to restore that winning mentality because it seems like they've lost the ability to win games.

[Avirunes]

Maybe I will focus more on Burnley, we know that this team was led by Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany and from the start, when they were still in the championship division, Burnley was a very promising team. But at the start of the season Burnley did have the unfortunate fate of having to face wild teams like Manchester City, Aston Villa and Spurs. I think it's quite understandable if in the end Burnley couldn't get a single win. However, in the next match against Nottingham, I hope that Vincent Kompany's troops can show their quality this season and at least get their first win.

I had actually very high expectations from Burnley to start strong but so far they are really letting me down here. All these three newly promoted teams are really playing a poor football as compared to PL level. They really have to up their game if they have to stay in PL next season. Nottingham also isn't an easy target for Burnley. Despite Brenan Jhonson's departure they still have a good counter attack. Forest really are performing well and they also have defeated Chelsea in last gameweek so they also must be very confident right now. Should be a tough fixture between Burnley and Forest then I will pick Forest here.

[lizarder]

Seeing Manchester United and Chelsea next to each other on the standings makes me laugh and it seems that even the expectations that the public wants will be fed up with the results they got earlier this season. Even looking at Crystal Palace, which is in 7th position, it is actually better than the two teams. For Erik Ten Hag and also Pochettino, who have so many quality players, they are unable to maximize the advantages that exist. I didn't think they would still feel the same difficulties at the start of the season and with the new internal problems in the Red Devils players it would cause more loss of concentration this season. For Chelsea, after spending so much money, the players they have bought are not worth the money they have spent.

I still have enough trust in Erik Ten Hak and in the future they will find the best form of the game, this has only been running four matches and the same as last season he did not start the start of a good season. Man United experienced bad conditions in the defense and a number of important players are currently injured, thus making their defense a little difficult in playing the strategy implemented by Erik Ten Hak. Rasmus Holjun just made his debut in the third match and also hasn't played the full game yet, so there's still a chance for him to prove it. Precisely enough what is very worrying is if Varane, Luke Shaw and Martinez are absent for a long time because it will make Man United's defense less solid.

Regarding Chelsea I didn't comment much because they were far worse than Man United, even though the money they used in the transfer market it is much bigger. Now the duties of Pochettino and Ten Hak will be much heavier to restore the confidence of the players and they must be able to play better in the future so as not to be far behind the struggle for points with the top of the standings. Man United will also play several important matches in the Champions League, so that the concentration of Ten Hak and his players will be much greater in the future.

No matter how much investment Manchester United has invested, it will not make any real changes to the team. Even though it takes a process, Manchester United will always get comparisons with other teams and of course ridicule will always be on them. I'm just trying to think realistically that now is not the right moment for any team to win the EPL title because Manchester City is really on the right track and hard to shake.

Now Erik Ten Hag's job is only to restore the players' confidence so that they have a high mentality in every match. I see that ETH is building that foundation but unfortunately when he needed it, some of his top players were injured, maybe that's why the Red Devils' steps faltered a bit. But I am sure that after the international break Manchester United will return to winning ways and of course this season I really want to see them really able to compete at the top of the standings.

Defensively, I would say things have gotten better. When Harry Maguire and De Gea. are missing from the list of starting players. If the situation of the whole team does not improve, it will be easy to receive heavy defeats against big teams.

Despite Chelsea having a high percentage of the ball so far, no doubt they will want to make it count in the score board soon, else it is all a waste.

Just like last season, Chelsea started this season with some bad luck despite all the players they signed. I can’t imagine a team that spent so much money during the January transfer window and the just concluded transfer window performing poorly like teams that didn’t even sign any players.

I think there is no excuse by the players any more; they all have the time to blend into the team and the League style of play, while some of them were even bought from Premier League clubs, which means they now have experience about how the Premier League works. I feel that it is just a management issue, or the new coach needs to strategize and set out a very good squad to take Chelsea to the next level, or else they will not be able to compete for the title and may end up not qualifying for the Champions League next season.

Manchester United also need to improve before other teams at the top of the table set a big gap between them.

Manchester United's team is not bad; it's just that they actually needed to step up before the points gap became too big.

Their last match against Arsenal actually affected their League position as they were just two points ahead of Chelsea; nevertheless, they are just six points behind Manchester City and four points behind the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, and others. I think they need to improve after this international break and move the team to the top.

Should be a tough fixture between Burnley and Forest then I will pick Forest here.

It's actually difficult to see good progress when promoted clubs come to the Premier League because only a few can survive with the harsh competition like the Premier League. Burnley is a promoted club but their performance remains unchanged because they don't last long in the EPL and it's likely that this season will be the same.
3 matches in the past and 3 times they lost. In addition, they are also currently the same as Leeds last season which has always been the goal barn of their opposing club in matches because the 3 matches Burnley has done they have conceded 11 goals and they have only managed to score 3 goals so by looking at a bad start like this it will be very difficult for Burnley to rise if their performance remains the same.

Man United will also play several important matches in the Champions League, so that the concentration of Ten Hak and his players will be much greater in the future.

They had a suboptimal start into the last season as well and there is no reason to be concerned just yet. Ten Haag against many expectations found the right twists last season to make the team play successful and I believe he can do it again. The quality in the team is there. It was also about Rashford last season that it took him a short while to find his best shape. If he can that, he is a priceless asset to the team. He can make the difference in many games, but yes for that he has to reach his maximum potential first.

Chelsea is like a coma patient. Everyone is patiently and excitedly wating for the patient called Chelsea to wake up. But they don't and by now I find that to be concerning and shocking somehow. I think when so much money is invested in players and anything else that is needed for success and it then fails, there must still be something that is going horribly wrong. But I couldn't give an answer if asked what that is. Pochettino? Is he to blame? I am not sure about that, but these results are no coincidence anymore. I thought they were coincidence when it started that they lost these crazy games against much weaker opponents, but now it is almost worth betting money on their opponents no matter who it is

Mediocre clubs like this are usually more difficult to predict like Burnley who haven't gotten a single point while Nottingham has collected 6 points from 4 matches, overall Nottingham looks the better club but at the end of August Burnley managed to beat Nottingham in the EFL Cup competition even though Burnley played away well this is the reason why I say clubs like this are more difficult to predict sometimes we are fooled and trapped.

[marcous]

No matter how much investment Manchester United has invested, it will not make any real changes to the team. Even though it takes a process, Manchester United will always get comparisons with other teams and of course ridicule will always be on them. I'm just trying to think realistically that now is not the right moment for any team to win the EPL title because Manchester City is really on the right track and hard to shake.

But I am sure that after the international break Manchester United will return to winning ways and of course this season I really want to see them really able to compete at the top of the standings.

I think the biggest obstacle facing Man United was the storm of injuries. When facing big matches with Tottenham and Arsenal, Ten Haq lost his key players. Automatically, Ten Haq squad only succeeded against teams below them such as Notingham Forres and Wolves. The most realistic target is to finish in the Champions League zone this season, because the strength of Arsenal and Man City is certainly difficult for them to beat if they can't be stable.

In line with this performance, Ten Haq had to face various criticisms and pressures, because the movements in the transfer market, which cost quite a lot had not had a significant impact. It's hard to accept the fact that Ten Hag is in the same boat as Pochettino at Chelsea who has not been able to stabilize.

[superman184]

This year, Manchester United brought in quite a few recruits. Recruits are unfamiliar with Erik ten Hag's journey. They couldn't find a bridge to bring them together.

Defensively, I would say things have gotten better. When Harry Maguire and De Gea. are missing from the list of starting players. If the situation of the whole team does not improve, it will be easy to receive heavy defeats against big teams.

Erik ten Hag's efforts to unite players to become more cohesive in the team really have to be done, because every player who is recruited into the Manchester United team for this season is for the sake of making the team's appearance better than last season. However, Manchester United's performance seen at the start of this season was still not that good because maybe the players were still not very used to Erik ten Hag's direction so there were still many things that Erik ten Hag needed to improve for this season.
