Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

~~ Snip ~~

Yeah there might be a surprise this week but I don't think Manchester United lose, the first reason they play at home so far Manchester United has been very difficult to beat at home and the worst thing that can happen is a draw. Another reason Manchester United really needs a win to increase their confidence in the upcoming match against Munich in the Champions League, apart from that 3 points can also increase their position in the standings I mean Manchester still wants to maintain the points difference.

What I am most looking forward to is the match between Man United vs Brighton, and Chelsea vs Bournemouth. Because these two clubs are the teams that are most active in recruiting players in the transfer market, the results do not yet appear significant for the clubs and that is why it is appropriate for later. Even though the Ten Hag squad is playing at home, and the chances of winning are quite big, it doesn't rule out the possibility of a surprise like what you said happening. It's true, the results of the match in the fifth week are very valuable for The Red Devils to play the next match in the UCL group stage.

Brighton has been phenomenal in the last two seasons, especially when looking at head to head meetings with United. In the last five meetings between the two, Brighton has been superior. With details of winning three times, drawing once and losing once, Ten Hag should be wary.

I never thought that when Jadon Sancho decided to leave Borussia Dortmund in order to join Manchester United that this transfer would turn into such a fail.

He has now been suspended from team training and Erik ten Haag said that he was not nominated for games because his training performance would not justify a nomination.

How could it go this way when Sancho is actually such a great talent? He is able to do better or is he just one of those players who can't get along with ten Haag's attitude?

It is unfortunate that at moments like this many Manchester United players have problems, and of course with cases like this will make Manchester United condition worse. When in fact, the season Manchester United also have a busy schedule and of course, by having a busy schedule like that, Manchester United should have second-tier players who also have good quality. After all, it seems that not only Sancho is having problems in the team, because there are still some other players who although still available in the squad but they also have some problems.

Manchester United always faces problems that never end, when conditions seemed to be starting to improve last season and hope that this season they will be able to perform well to win the EPL championship, but the reality is so bitter. If Sancho and Anthony have to be parked because they are dealing with personal problems, this is also the case with several mainstay players who are also down due to injury.

Conditions like this of course make Erik Ten Hag very burdened and if he loses again or is only able to get one point in the next match, the Old Trafford public's trust in him will fade. I think Erik Ten Hag must have the courage to do something to be able to provide motivation to the players who are included in his scheme to continue fighting to win. Only by achieving victory will he regain the trust of the fans and will consider what he has done so far to be right.

Indeed, currently Manchester City is the favorite team among the general public, and West Ham's position in the standings shows that Manchester City is a proud team that is popular and liked by many people.
It is not easy for West Ham to beat or even score against Manchester City. Manchester City players will probably play very strong defense and good cooperation later. Yes, let's just wait, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise presented by the West Ham players in this weekend's match.

Will The Hammers be able to beat the current defending champions?? certainly not easy. Being the favorite team does not mean you can not beat it, but what I know is that Man City's is not easy to beat.
West Ham's is currently in its best form and it looks like West Ham's want to take the position of defending champion in the current league. This match is difficult to predict considering that both teams have both performed well. Manchester City's has Kevin De Bruyne while West Ham's has Declan Rice's, they both have the best midfielder at the moment. and I predicti that this time the match will be balance

I'm sure that football games like the one between The Hammers and Manchester City will never be predicted the way things are now. Personally, I think Man City has always been the best, but I remember Arsenal being ahead in the standings at the start of other seasons, which adds some doubt. The current play of West Ham also can't be ignored. But I need to point out a mistake I made about Declan Rice, who works for Arsenal right now. Because of these factors, I understand your desire for a fair match, but it's hard to say for sure which way the outcome will be

Chelsea have already suffered two defeats in their opening four games of the season and with a loss to Nottingham Forest just before the international break. Now Pochettino has to shoulder a big task again, he really needs to be able to win. The Blues have the opportunity to bring home full points when they visit Bournemouth headquarters if the manager is willing to try several changes and a different starting XI composition from the previous few matches. Meanwhile, Bournemouth are also not in their best form, but they are slightly better than Chelsea when referring to the match before the international break. But Chelsea will still be the favorite in the match even though the mental condition of the Chelsea players is still not completely stable.

At Vitality Stadium, Chelsea and Bournemouth matchup is expected to be an exciting contest. Even while Chelsea has historically excelled in head to head competitions, new Premier League dynamics have injected a degree of unpredictability. With no league victories to their name Bournemouth is in a unique situation to take on an erratic Chelsea team. It is possible that Bournemouth home field advantage and manager Andoni Iraola tenacity will lead to the team long awaited first victory. This game has the potential to be a nail-biter as both teams battle through their shaky performances in search of a crucial outcome.

Anyone who was gambling for this match knew that if city has been favoring by bookies to win the game. Don't underestimate westham, it has come with a new face. City needs to be careful to face westham caused by this club potentially steal 3/1 point from manchester city.
Westham is not that bad club anymore. This club is far better than chels or brighton.

no one underestimates anything, however you cant say that the big favorite is Manchester, a very strong team that has imposed its game on the other big European teams!!

not surprisingly, a champion team with many champions
It wont be easy, it is not impossible, but the statistics speak for themselves, not casually

Haaland for Manchester city is still hot from a last hatrick he scored in their last match. Although DeBrunye and Grillish were injured, it might still be a tightly contested match between city and Westhampton.
It's always the small or just firing teams that start the season by upsetting the bigger clubs. We know that it is toward the middle of season that the boys will get separated from the men when muscles are on fire, teams picking up points and more injury woes loom.

Hammers are enjoying a great run since start. They have brought in some good players from the Declan Rice's sale. Personally I think City are still way ahead in terms of squad and tactics but right now I feel that Hammers might have a chance against City. It's interesting to see that lately Alvarez have been playing behind Haaland in the formation and is making the run when opponents defence focus has been on Haaland. Hammers really need to be aware of that and needs to mark both Alvarez and Haaland in their upcoming game. It's a tough fixture but I think Hammers have a chance if they do things properly.

[gabbie2010]

I am not expecting much from Manchester United. First of all at the beginning of this season I also thought that Manchester United will play very well this season and their aim is to win the title. But after watching their performance, I realized quite well that my assumption was wrong. Manchester United's performance is very poor. They have won just two out of four matches. Despite winning two matches, their performance was not very good.

I also hoped for a much better performance from Man United this season and while they’ve been playing below what I had hoped, I wouldn’t consider winning two out of four matches played as being a very poor performance. Sure, it’s not the performance that had been expected of them so far, we shouldn’t ignore the fact that it’s only four games that have been played before hastily passing judgment on their performance.

I am hoping for a Man United win in the game against Brighton. It may not be an easy one as Brighton is no pushover but I think United would win the game. I also think we could see goals from both sides.

I am more consign with Man Utd central defence line without Varane, it's has not been strong with Martinez and Lindelof and how are they going to fare against Brighton in defence? Brighton had been brilliant this season and hadn't change their style of play despite selling some of their quality players, recall Brighton defeated Man Utd at old Trafford at the beginning of last season thus I am expecting a tough match against the host who would miss the services of the duo of Antony and Sancho in their respectively, Man Utd hasn't been in their best form this season having won two matches and lost two matches I am afraid they might lose their match tomorrow.

MU can still at least to be a better club in spending its money compared with chelsea. It's hard to believe if sancho was facing a problem against ten hag. I don't even know which side is correct regarding the problem between ten haag and him.
It's likely missing him in the upcoming match would become a blunder for manchester united. I knew that if united had hojlund as an attacker but he was not even stable enough. He was just recovering from his injury.

Ten hag is making a blunder in preventing sancho from playing in the main squad for upcoming game. Ten hag must also be aware if brighton was not an easy opponent to be beaten.

Everybody will always have to talk about Haaland on this fixture as the main man to focus on but we shouldn't forget about Alverez (although he do come in as a sub, but I prefer him to start than Haaland) to be the key player for City because in this fixture I believe that the Hammers could mark Haaland out of the picture and this could be a welcome party for Pep Guardiola (first loss) like making him (Pep) see that Haaland has never been a threat.
City have good players but Moyes is going to make use of what he have to get City to their knees, I can't see City dominating this game and is going to be a difficult one for the Citizens.
I just believe that no matter how hard Manchester City try all they could get is a draw and if there's a winning, it should be for the Hammers taking all 3pt.

The match against Brighton made Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag have to think about the right strategy to get three points. Even though he was hit by a number of problems, Ten Hag had to try to find solutions and not use these problems as an excuse for not being able to win the match.

United's defensive condition is really very sad but with several players available he has to make the most of it and I really hope ETH does not play Maguire because his mental condition is really collapsing and his presence will be very dangerous for the team.

I feel quite confident that in tomorrow's match, even though the conditions are lacking, the Red Devils will try their best to get full points. I also admit that Brighton also has a chance to beat United but the motivation of Manchester United players has increased after the international break.

I always follow facts, not here to underestimate any average club. Roberto De Zerbi is a type of coach that specifically understands elite coaches that manages outstanding clubs in English premier league. He's confident in facing Erik Ten Hag this season, let's see if they would actually humiliate the Red Devils in Old Trafford. Manchester united winning Brighton this weekend game? It's a tough game to decide, I would give my credits to Brighton because they're more opportune interms of performance, they got the good performance in league games.

They've failed to come to agreement and Sancho has refused giving a public apology. Reports says he will fine his way of of the club if Erik Ten Hag continues with being hard on him.
I don't have nothing to say, bit if the coach feels like he is doing the right thing then he should do so. Sancho leaving is something I never had thought but he has been dull and less productive.
Same goes with Antony, he should be dropped for Facundo Pellistri he is the right man for the right wing.

Ten should chase a player like Harry Maguire not Sancho. And why dump Mac Tominay on the bench, he has height and has a good ball passing skills, he can be used for defending rather than Johnny Evans and Harry Maguire.

The closest match that we will see is the match between Wolves vs Liverpool, overall we will certainly predict that Liverpool will win in this match, even though they play at Wolves headquarters. Liverpool are also in a good trend now, drawing in the first week's match against Chelsea, after that 3 matches they swept clean with a win. Wolves are in the opposite condition, the first 2 matches they had to lose, won in week 3 and lost again in the last week or week 4 before the international holiday.
Liverpool's goal productivity is in good shape now and on the contrary Wolves' defense looks fragile, I think that is something they should take good advantage of.

[rahmad2nd]

Man United will host Brighton at Old Trafford. Man United will not have the strongest squad because there is too much bad news. Their injury list is endless, including the 2 recruits they brought this summer: Mason Mount and Sofyan Amrabat. Added to that are Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, and left-back Luke Shaw.
In addition, in the case of Jadon Sancho, he conflicts with coach Teg Han. Antony is the most notable absence. Meanwhile, Brighton is in good form and is currently ranked 6th. It is indeed too difficult for Man United in this match.

I also predict that Manchester United will have difficulty winning at home in tomorrow's match because I remember that several of Manchester United's mainstay players will not play in tomorrow's match for quite logical reasons, namely injury. Brighton will really take advantage of this condition to get a win at Old Trafford because they are also very aware that Manchester United's performance will definitely not be stable because several mainstay players will not be able to play tomorrow.

I suspect that this match will present an exciting battle, even though Manchester United is currently being hit by injured players. but unfortunately, there are many players who have to sit out due to injury.  apart from Varene, Luke Shaw, Malacia, Mason Mount. and now their newcomer Amrabat is reported to have a back injury, although he will recover quickly. however, it seems that his status is doubtful for making his debut with The Red Devil in the match against Brighton. part from that, Lisandro Martines is having problems with his ankle injury against Arsenal. Therefore, it is doubtful that his status will be absent or Ten Hag will continue to play him. what happened in the United camp was a big loss for Erik Ten Hag. However, it looks like Ten Hag will get around this by rotating some of its players.
referring to the predicted line-up, Eriksen will probably be placed in the attacking midfielder position, Bruno will be shifted to the left, as will Rashford, Hojlund will start in this match. unfortunately, Hojlund is not a ready-made striker, so he will need more adaptation. Hopefully, he can show that he is a worthy striker.

Meanwhile, the challenger team Brighton, their performance is quite good. 3 of his 4 matches were won with impressive results.  Only against West Ham did Brighton suffer defeat.  In the match vs United there were several players whose status was in doubt, namely, Evan Ferguson, who was reported to have a minor knee injury.
But overall, De Zerby's squad is ready to play its match against United. However, referring to the betting odds, there is no one who is more favored in this match. and I'm quite sure, this match will present quite an exciting battle with the fast style of play from both teams. Well, let's see what will happen when the two teams meet.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Bournemouth and Chelsea have both had inconsistent performances this season. It's just that Chelsea is much better. Because Chelsea has got 4 points this season. Meanwhile, Bournemouth only has 2 point. And if we talk about head to head between Chelsea vs Bournemouth, we can see that at the end of last season Chelsea also managed to win at bournemouth home (Vitality stadium). So I hope that even in this match, Chelsea can win the match. Because I prefer to bet on Chelsea. Because even though Chelsea have not been consistent, they have a squad that is of higher quality than the squad that Bournemouth has.

Bournemouth have managed just 2 points from 4 matches. Even so  I wouldn't say that this team's performance was too poor . They managed to share the points against West ham. West ham have won every match this season apart from bournemouth. Bournemouth have lost against big teams like liverpool and tottenham. Bournemouth's performance was good enough though. Bournemouth players have scored in all 3 matches except Tottenham.
Chelsea are in a very bad form right now.  They also lost against Nottingham Forest. The team even lost 3-1 against west ham . And so it is challenging for chelsea to beat bournemouth at the moment.  I think bournemouth will be able to get points in this match.

Yes, you are right that Bournemouth did not have a bad performance. In fact, the defeat they experienced was a defeat that could be said to be quite reasonable considering that the opponents they faced were big and strong clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham, which even currently Liverpool and Tottenham are ranked 2nd and 3rd in the standings.
This is different from Chelsea, which actually had to experience defeat by teams that should have been below their level. Especially the defeat by Nottingham forrest was the worst for Chelsea. Because Chelsea's defeat by Nottingham Forest was the first in the last 6 meetings.
But I will try to trust Chelsea once again. Although if I'm honest, I actually doubt Chelsea in this match.

Although chelsea is a big team and a renowned team in the premier league, I can't consider Chelsea as the favorite in this match . The condition of the chelsea team is very bad.  Their performance against relatively weaker teams is also poor. In particular  the team's forward players performance is very poor. And because of the weakness of this attacking lineup, their overall performance is also very poor. This is why bournemouth is now a very tough opponent for chelsea. Chelsea have appointed new coach pochettino this season . But so far pochettino has not been able to stabilize the team. Chelsea may need a more experienced coach. Or maybe their management is the main cause of their problems.

I think pochettino is doing great as a coach , even though he is not the best as you have said, I still believe Chelsea's problem is not their coach, Chelsea's problem from the very begining was a management issue , which I believe they are working really hard to resolve, or maybe they had resolved it already.
If actually they have resolved their management issues, now, what I think they need is time, time for the wound to heal properly, I personally do not see Chelsea doing any better than they are doing now in this season and in the next season, because a building that is destroyed, rebuilding it takes time, even with the best engineers on ground, so what Chelsea need is time, with time, they will get better, their problem is not pochettino.

I don't want to argue whether Pochettino is a good or bad coach.  I also think he is good enough. But he is good for a mediocre team. I do not think pochettino is good for big team who want to win champions league or league title . Pochettino probably doesn't have the ability to control so many star players.  He cannot do well with PSG. But he was able to do quite well with tottenham.

I also think chelsea's main problem is their management. chelsea's woes began after the management change . I have seen good performances from this team before. Maybe if pochettino is given enough time he will be able to stabilize the team. But this requires long term planning. I doubt chelsea management will allow pochettino to plan long term.

Man United is indeed in potentially ragged condition because they had to lose many players in their first team. The right-side position might not be too worrying because Man United still has Pellistri and Garnacho who can fill it. But for the defense line, it can be a serious problem because the substitute player in this position doesn't really have a reliable performance.

Even though Man United will be playing at home against Brighton but with their current condition and performance, I think this will be a tough match for them. They still have a chance to win the match, but this can only be achieved if they put in all their efforts and their defender doesn't make any stupid mistakes.

After all, it seems that not only Sancho is having problems in the team, because there are still some other players who although still available in the squad but they also have some problems.

I wouldn't deem Jadon Sancho a second tier player when he is playing at his maximum potential. Still the competition would be strong and maybe he wouldn't full-time every game, but he would be a serious option for the first eleven if some fresh blood is needed or some rotation is required.

But I would be more interested in what is happening and why he is crashing so hard. It is not the first time that players change from best to worse at Manchester United. I remember his as an excellent wing player with the potential to improve by a lot if he gets the right inputs from the right coach. I believe more and more that ten Haag is some narcissist who loves to suppress people and their opinions. Maybe Sancho is rensponsible himself, but still...

I'm sure that football games like the one between The Hammers and Manchester City will never be predicted the way things are now. Personally, I think Man City has always been the best, but I remember Arsenal being ahead in the standings at the start of other seasons, which adds some doubt. The current play of West Ham also can't be ignored. But I need to point out a mistake I made about Declan Rice, who works for Arsenal right now. Because of these factors, I understand your desire for a fair match, but it's hard to say for sure which way the outcome will be

Personally, Manchester City is favorite team for winning upcoming match against West Ham United but playing as home match have own motivate for The Hummer how to continue three winning matches in a row. I don't think mistake did by West Ham United after Declan Rice departure to Arsenal because they have keep in the winning performance until four matches in Premier League.

For the winning match between West Ham United vs Manchester City seems the host team has good chance continue with impressive performance but I don't think City won't loss their first standings position and continue winning five matches in Premier League in a row after success won last four matches.

It seems England Football Association wanted to show they are against gambling and that's why they suspended Harry Toffolo the palyer of Nottingham Forest for four months. However, they do not execute this suspension until the end of this season unless he makes another mistake. Also, he has to pay 21 thousand pounds. From 2014 to 2017 he was gambling while according to the FA rules he was not allowed to do that.
He played one game so far for his teams in this season.

As I understand from the news the link to which you provided, this has nothing to do with the problem of gambling - it is only a violation of the ban for players who place bets (because they have a certain insider knowledge). By the way, the news mentions another player who received a severe ban until 2024, who even bet against his own team. I think everything is obvious here.
