Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[QueenVera]

The performance from Newcastle United has been definitely not up to the mark. They should definitely have started the season better. This is not what people expected from them after they performed really well in the last season. They have lost three out of the four matches that they have played so far. They were able to win only one match. I hope they will be able to improve their performance going forward in the season.

I absolutely agree that West Ham is doing what Newcastle United was expected to do in this season. They have not lost even one match so far. They have three wins and one draw so far. Let’s see if they can continue performing like this.

Newcastle are not a very serious team this season because a team that impressive and tried to qualify in the Champions league, should know what to expect and get prepared for it, but they've refused to do that this season and didn't really get much experienced player to help them in the major tournament they're competiting in this season.
 If they could be performing poorly this season i wonder what they'll be doing when Champions League tournaments kick-off, i think their coach Eddie Howe needs to do anything possible to turn things around if not his job could be at stake cause i feel the club owners won't be patience enough to give him a second chance, they'll be playing next against Brentford and I expect them to use that match to get back to winning ways.

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.

I also didn't expect this kind of weak performance from Burnley as this season began. It is too bad seeing them so weak that they can't even draw one game without three matches played. Back in the seasons before Burnley were relegated, I always knew Burnley as a stubborn team that always gave big teams tough games, and I was thinking that would be the same thing that would happen as they were promoted to the Premier League this season, but seriously, I am even something different. If their performances did not change, maybe they would still be relegated.

I honestly do not think keeping Salah was a smart decision. He is 30+ years old, getting 100+ million for him would have been an amazing deal for them. He is an Arabic player who would play in an Arabic league, which would have been a great marketing for Saudis, and meanwhile Liverpool could have kept that money and if they really need someone, they could buy one next summer.

Salah is older than 30, but that doesn't really matter, what matters is that he should continues to perform to the standards that Liverpool has set for him. And I believe Salah is giving the team his all. Losing a player like Salah without a successor that will have a significant impact on the team like him it will not be okay like that. That has occurred to Liverpool previously when they lost Mane to Bayern Munich, but I don't think they'll repeat same errors this time. Salah is still working for them but age, but they need to find a replacement for him before selling, Looking at the money and letting Salah leave, I don't think it will make more sense for Liverpool because Salah is still extremely strong and active.

i think their coach Eddie Howe needs to do anything possible to turn things around if not his job could be at stake cause i feel the club owners won't be patience enough to give him a second chance, they'll be playing next against Brentford and I expect them to use that match to get back to winning ways.

To be fair to Newcastle, in their first 4 matches they have played both City and Liverpool which they lost, but these are games that Newcastle can lose on anyday, even in their best form, they also lost to Brighton, De Zerbi's team is very strong and on their day they can be a problem for any team in the league, but the way Newcastle lost that match is unacceptable, they didn't put up a fight and it was too easy for Brighton. Newcastle have to do better, they are in all four competitions this season, and if they cannot handle the pressure they'll finish poorly in the league.

Manchester City will take Liverpool into account regardless of the first few games. I believe that at Manchester City there is a level of professionalism that doesn't allow for any of their competitors to be underestimated for as long as it is mathematically possible to be overtaken by them.

That's how Guardiola does his job all the time. Never give a few percent less than you can until the deal is finished. It can be seen when he complains after any of their wins. I hardly saw him saying that he is 100% satisfied with the performance.

The way Pep Guardiola handles his team is different from how other managers does. He hardly gives credit to his players even when they win a match. He knows they are not 100% perfect but he always make them feel that they can do more and the ones they already performed is not enough to call them satisfactory. This has given them a competitive edge against their competitors which always works for them almost all of the time. Manchester City don’t consider a team as being a big team or small team, they always give in their best and make sure they win a team with lots of goals and this always give them an edge in terms of goal difference even when they are been caught up by their closed rival.

Unfortunately, in these early matches, they have had to meet against big clubs, so perhaps their defeat will have an impact on the mentality and motivation of the players. Although in fact, a Newcastle class shouldn't feel so down. This is just the beginning and they must be even more prepared, because after all there is still a long way to go. Against Man City and Liverpool, Newcastle's performance was actually not that bad. But this was different against Brighton, they really looked low on motivation and made several mistakes in missing the chances.

Even though this season they are entering the UCL, so no matter what happens, they must immediately get up and improve their performance and mentality in every match. This is a competition, where the main target should be to always get full points. Moreover, the EPL is a very tight league competition because there are many big clubs competing.

Newcastle had lost his last match against Brighton,the goal difference between this two team was two goals.Because the Brighton had scored the 3 goals and Newcastle only able to score one goal.Newcastle was in the 14 place of the table and the Brighton was in the sixth place.Brighton had won 3 of 4 matches,while the Newcastle only won one match was very disappointed to their fans.If they continue the performance in the upcoming days,their was huge possibilities of losing the entire match.Because their was huge completion among other teams in this Champions League.They need to improve their next game on September 16 against the Brentford.

0 wins in 3 consecutive matches is proof that Luton Town is a team that is too weak in the Premier League. It is hoped that several of the players brought in will be able to make this team compete well in the competition, but it will be very difficult to expect them to rise and be in the top 10 of the standings.

Even before, I didn't expect much from Luton because I don't think they have a good squad that will really compete in this on-going Premier League competition, so their poor performance did not surprise me in any way. But currently, I think it is not only Luton that is playing badly, but I will say it is all promoted teams, I have not seen any of these promoted teams put in good performances. As a promoted team, I am always expecting them to always look like very strong and stubborn clubs that even if they can't win matches, they should always be trying to draw matches, but I have not even seen them with that effort. Let's see what will happen in like 8 of their matches. Maybe they are currently playing a team that is very big compared to other teams, so I like to see them playing average teams like them because I saw how Sheffield United played against Everton.

Well, according to media reports Liverpool have abandoned the idea of selling the player to Saudi Arabia. Although I don't understand why many people are so unhappy, he is already 31 years old and sooner or later I think he will move there, maybe in a few years, because now he is still very good, last season he played all the matches and scored 19 goals.

Usually Liverpool will not keep their players by insisting on selling them, but it is still worth keeping Salah considering that he is still very happy in Europe. Salah can still compete in the Premier League or Europe to be the best, but the Saudi Pro League team will clearly follow his development and try to recruit him if they can.

I wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool end up parting ways with Salah at the end of this season. Liverpool will get a high income for Salah and they can recruit other players to regenerate their players in the coming season.

When I got the news of the link between Saudi Arabia and Liverpool concerning Liverpool star Player Mohamed salah. I already knew that the move will not happen this season because Liverpool has never got a replacement for sala. The last time Liverpool sold Mane, they are still suffering it till today, so they will not make the mistake of selling their star player without an adequate replacement. But the move that the Saudi Arabian club made is a signal that they are interested in Saleh. By next season and at least I believe by that time the deal will likely happen.

It is hoped that several of the players brought in will be able to make this team compete well in the competition, but it will be very difficult to expect them to rise and be in the top 10 of the standings.

Their defense is poor, their attackers are ineffective and they don't have many creative players to build a great attack. I wouldn't be surprised if Luton Town would be a hotbed of goals for the Premier League's top teams this season, that's clearly a concern on their part. Imagine if Luton played against Manchester City, maybe they would concede 5-7 goals.

They still can't compete in the highest caste of the EPL even though entering as a promotion club from the Championship division is something to be proud of but the EPL is much stronger than that so it is difficult with the makeshift strength of Luton to compete with clubs that already have far more experience than them.
Let alone to be in the top 10, now they get a win even a goal is very difficult to happen.
Only 2 goals that they can record in 3 matches and that is not comparable to the number of goals that the opposing club shoots at them but even so this will be a good learning because even if they return to the Championship division at the end of the season, this will be a good capital for them.

Pochettino looks like he will fail to build a new era for Chelsea, he only marked its revival with transfer market movements, not with match results. If we wait longer, I'm not sure Pochettino will last more than two seasons at Chelsea. It could be that if the Blues suffer another defeat in the EPL, then he will leave sooner before seeing the players he recruits develop well.

It is still too early to judge Pochettino's career in Chelsea. TBH, I still expect a better progress of Pochettino's management. Chelsea actually has many talented players, there are many young players, too. Sadly, Pochettino doesn't know the effective way to build Chelsea as a team quickly. He too much relies on signing new players, he forgot to build the mentality of the squad and doesn't give much attention to strengthen cohesiveness between players.

Anyway, if he fails to bring Chelsea back on the top 10 again, I'm sure he won't last until the end of the season. Chelsea management may consider to change the coach, they don't think to wait until the next 2 years.

I think if Chelsea loses to a club like Liverpool or Man City it still makes sense, because they are fellow big clubs. However, losing to Nottingham Forest clearly disappointed all fans, I think.

True. Chelsea is still a big club, it is a shame seeing them defeated by small team like Nottingham Forest.

Looking forward to see Amrabat competing in that midfied, the midfied too soft against Arsenal, it needed energy and names like Bruno and Eriksen were absent in that game they did not have a good game and could not beat Arsenal midfielders.
Brighton are one of the sides when building from the backline to the front, with few players absent and Injured for Brighton Man United may have a good chance to win but that defense is too weak. Imagine Harry Maguire saying he wants to fight for his place when Man United should have sent him out on loan or complete sell out. He has never being a good player.

Amrabat is a good addition and will bring a force to the team
He has a great mentality. United needs this at the moment.
And Amrabat worked with Ten Hag when he was still the coach of FC Utrecht.

Maguire is the last choice on United's list of defenders. However, he will get a place to play because of the many injured players.

Right after they were announced as EPL bound after the play offs everybody knew that they would be the weakest team in the league. This is mostly be because they do not have the funds just like the other top clubs to spend. Even their stadium had to reconstructed. So the quality of players will definitely not be like other clubs, in fact the most experienced EPL player in their squad is Ross Barkley.

They have played with passion and I think they would gain points as the season progresses. Even against West Ham they nearly had a perfect comeback if not for the penalty that was deny by the referee. Many fans think if they meet the top 6 they would lose with large margin but I say once they get use to the league they will definitely prove a point and your assumption of them getting piped against City but I wouldn’t agree just yet

Since the defeat at the start of this season many have doubted whether Newcastle can perform like last season with very strong performances and have almost perfect performance in every game and getting stronger towards the end of last season and if we want to realize or this is just my bad thinking but let's see this season some of the clubs that entered the champions league group have had poor performances in the domestic league and one of them is Newcastle and Manchester City which lately have not been very attractive in every game and this has also happened to other clubs from other leagues.
I used to think that the club's rush at the start of this season was only because they prepared themselves to appear strong in the champions league so that for a while they weren't focused on the domestic league.

Yes it is true that jobs may be on the line but one has to remember how Newcastle have performed in the past when they surprisingly improved to a top 4 finish last season and secured a Champions League spot and I don't think Eddie Howe will fail to make a difference. on Newcastle's form and I believe the upcoming game Newcastle will face Brentford which is not a big challenge for Eddie Howe as this club is very easy to beat for him and one side Newcastle will come out as hosts gaining confidence increasing chances of securing a win.

Their performance this season could make one wonder if Eddie Howe was the one the lead them to the top four or if they hired Pep Guardiola to coach for them in some matches last season lol, because I don't understand the reason for the very poor performance so far, I expected them to start the season as one of the serious contenders and when they won their first match against Aston Villa I feel they're beginning to mark their place as one of the top EPL teams, but after then they've not leave up to expectations and have declined totally in form.
 Well if they fail to win the upcoming game then it okay to think that they're not ready to challenge in the major tournament or set their mark permanently as one of the top clubs in EPL, it would be bad for them to destroy the good record they had last season with a horrible performance this season,they need to improve fast cause they'll be representing the EPL in the Champions league this season and won't survive the group with this awful performance.

[Leviathan.007]

Kevin De Bruyne was an elective player in Manchester City and he had an amazing performance when he was in good form, but unfortunately, this player is injured now, and even if he recovered he can't get back in shape soon.
That's why Pep Guardiola decided to hire Dani Olmo from Leipzig but just after that, they said they not going to sell this palyer because they lost many players and surely Leipzig doesn't want to lose another palyer.

Newcastle United decline in performance at the start of this season surprised many people because they were still dominated by players who played last season. But it seemed as if their performance had decreased by more than 80% because they were only able to record 1 win in 4 matches. Just compare them to have spent a lot of money in the transfer window like recruiting Tonali from Ac milan which was a club record breaking transfer but the fact is they couldn't maintain their best form at the start of this season.

I doubt they will succeed in closing the season in the top 4 if their performance does not improve in the upcoming matches. Eddie Howe has to do something to bring victory again in the next match. Moreover, Newcastle United will be playing in the Champions League this season, so if they fail to form a strong squad, they could be eliminated early. Moreover, Newcastle United joined the hell group which was filled with big teams from other leagues and Eddie Howe had to think about it from now on.

Manchester United is facing a lot of challenges this time around and if this continues they may find it difficult to finish in the top four of the league. The number one problem they have is the ownership of the club and their inability to sell or invest more in the club.
Second problem they have is the players getting imjured. The number of injured players in Manchester United is high. Even the newest signing,Amrabat is removed from the Morocco national team because of injury. I was surprised to read that Amrabat is already injured.

[SmartCharpa]

The performance from Newcastle United has been definitely not up to the mark. They should definitely have started the season better. This is not what people expected from them after they performed really well in the last season. They have lost three out of the four matches that they have played so far. They were able to win only one match. I hope they will be able to improve their performance going forward in the season.

I absolutely agree that West Ham is doing what Newcastle United was expected to do in this season. They have not lost even one match so far. They have three wins and one draw so far. Let’s see if they can continue performing like this.

Newcastle their performance is quite bad considering how seriously they took last season and how they even made it into the Champions League. Their games was really brave and I thought the team would play well this season and we would see the results of how they were playing. Due to the Champions League's upcoming arrival, the coach may have his own strategy for the team. He may decide to keep certain players around so that they can perform well in the competition, the players are weak in the Premier League may become strong in the Champions League because the club hasn't participated in the Champions League in a while.

Given how poorly they performed last season, I'm very very by how West Ham is winning games this year. I wasn't expecting Newcastle United to make a comeback in that aspect.

Luton Town haven’t been able to win any match since the season started, and they are currently in 19th position on the table. They will be playing against Fulham in their next match, and I don’t think the match will be an easy match for Luton Town. Fulham have played 4 matches, they won 1 match, they drew 1 match, and they lost 2 matches. Fulham's performance isn’t really good either this season, but I am not expecting a win from either of these two clubs. The match might end up as a draw, but Luton Town is just a newly promoted club, and they are performing so poorly, their coach has to work on the squad.

Their performance so far has been far below what I had imagined. They were a team that was really strong to contend with and had finished the last season really well giving me, as well as others I’m sure the impression of going harder and playing even better this new season.

Having won only one game and losing the rest, it sure hasn’t been the performance a lot of fans had expected. Last season, they seemed daring and coordinated, always pressing on for one more goal. It hasn’t been an easy ride this few games but things may turn around soon.

Brighton and Newcastle, two clubs I had thought would storm this season with a lot of pressure are both having a not so good run at the moment.
