Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[BitcoinHunt3r]

There is only one match on the schedule today. Nottingham Forest will play Burnley at home. Burnley have played 3 matches in the Premier League so far and have not won any points. They were champions in the Championship. But they started the season very badly in the Premier League. Vincent Kompany has not yet adapted his team to the Premier League. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest got 2 wins in the first 4 weeks. Also, they beat Chelsea last week. Their league defeats came against Arsenal and Manchester United. They started the season really well. In my opinion Nottingham Forest will be the favorites of the match.

It is clear that Nottingham is the favorite to win today there is nothing we can expect from Burley especially when they play away, if Nottingham wins today then they will move up to 8th place or even to 7th place if they can score a lot of goals. actually last month Burley beat Nottingham in another competition but this time the situation was different because Nottingham has the ambition to secure a place in the Premier League at least in the middle of the standings before the middle of the season.

Both Chelsea and Bournemouth are playing very well. Half time of the game is over but still no goals from either team. Not only scoring goals, neither team could even take the ball to the penalty area. Even though the match was hard-fought, it was boring because there was no excitement in the game. But today's next match Everton vs Arsenal is expected to be much better but Arsenal has more chances to win that match.

Chelsea only played very well in the first half while Bournemouth were the better team in the second half of the game but nevertheless both teams were poor overall as they didn't seize the opportunity they had Infront of them to grab all three points from the game. It's Chelsea I'm most mad at because they're going down the same path they took last season and soon they'll start looking for who to blame. I don't understand why things aren't moving well for the club upon all the millions they have poured in the transfer window. After all the signing there isn't any game changing player in the squad and nobody to rely on that he can perform some magic when things aren't going our way.

No disrespect to the international young stars of Chelsea but they have been playing poorly in their performance. No style or pattern of play.  Sterling has been stingy with the ball with flop moves at the 18 box yard playing like it's a one man show and not a team game. A team with Gallagher as captain stead of Thiago Silva in the absence of Reece James just explains how awful the team is and I can't bet my cent on Chelsea winning this match against Bournemouth today.

When it comes to things like this, you can blame the managers and not the players because they're playing as they were told. Assuming they weren't playing as they were told by the manager then he would have done some changes to the game but he didn't do anything untill it was late which means he was comfortable with the way the boys are playing. Pochettino isn't teaching this guys anything impressive because they aren't showing that on the pitch. If we can be losing frequently to the smaller teams then what will be our fate when we play the bigger teams and teams like Brighton that are out for blood this season. If you haven't noticed since the departure of James from the squad, we have been losing every game week.

No wonder they say those that have head don't have cap to wear and those that have the cap doesn't have the head. I'm talking about Manchester United and Chelsea. If Erik has the quality type of players that is under Pochettino in Manchester United, he will undoubtfu win this season no matter what but he doesn't while Pochettino has all the good guys including the favorite that won the world cup but they are losing in the Premier league, to even say that some players were discarded from Chelsea to Manchester United still Chelsea is still under a stuck train station with coal to move in the table.

Manchester United will make a come back, in short the more I look at the situations of Manchester United and Chelsea, Manchester United will recover early than Chelsea only if they do that fast as the season is till early, winning two or three matches will make them recover sharply and if the top 4 begin there losses, it will be an advantage for them.

I doubt that Erik will be able to do much if given the players at Chelsea. Why? They are both confused. Even if Erik is given Chelsea's squad, do you think the player can be able to play in sync? You see how sometimes they play uncoordinated ball probably because the players have not fully adapted the pattern of play at Chelsea. Man UTD have the issue of a weak midfield. We have the likes of Casemiro but we know that age is starting to catch up with him and hes not as agile as before. . Lately, Erik employed the strategy of playing his men out of position but that's still not yielding results.
Chelsea's own case is that the strikers lack that confidence to shoot outside the box. In the game against Bournemouth, Chelsea will have clearly won the game but these players preferred to enter the 18yard box and make impact than from outside. Pochettino and Erik are fast running out of options

I don see the performance of Chelsea to be something that has to do with the coach. Even if you give them a new coach and he still works with these player there will be no positive result. What is happening to Chelsea now is not something that could be fixed in a short period of time. I believe that they will still have to work on getting the right places for the right position or improved the players that are currently filling up those position. Its good why the coach sold some players and I think he should sell more so that when the next transfer window is opened they will buy good players at high amount.

Chelsea are not performing well against weak opponents. Against Manchester City, Arsenal, United and Newcastle, Chelsea are unlikely to do well and pick up points. Coach Pochettino must find his squad's weaknesses very quickly. A plus point for Chelsea is that they are not performing in the Champions League or the Europa League. They will have an opportunity to focus only on the Premier League. The team has enough time and opportunity to do well in the Premier League. However, it is Poch's fault if coach Pochettino fails to capitalize on this opportunity. But with the way they have performed so far, it seems unlikely that the team will get to the top of the table or stabilize very soon.

Chelsea just didn't have much luck, Jackson's chance hit the post, Gallagher's chance was saved by Neto. So, in my opinion, Chelsea just lacks the luck factor, this is the same as when Chelsea played against Nottingham Forest before, Chelsea also had a few more chances and the finishing was still very blunt and lacked luck.

It's true, as you said, Pochettino must immediately find the squad's weaknesses and must focus on the front line to be effective in scoring goals when he gets the opportunity. Actually, Chelsea this season should be more consistent in the EPL because they don't have a busy schedule because there is no European competition, they can focus on improving their squad to be able to compete in the EPL. I think Pochettino can handle it in the next match, and I believe in the process, he will make Chelsea become a top team in the EPL again.

Tottenham has began the season on a very good note, with excellent performance the are showing that they are ready to take on any opponent regardless their status or track record in the league, although there were fears that their performance may not be excellent as a few good players left the club during the transfer period, but Tottenham seem to have clear all doubt about their performance as the have performed so well most recently since the season began.

The coach on the other had is doing a good job as his tactics are in check and they really own their games causing their opponents to sit up. Tottenham is giving out a notion that this season, no team should undermine their ability as they are ready to take on any team. Arsenal is another good team who have performed excellently since the season wining Manchester united with a victory that was epic.

The victory against Tottenham yesterday tho deserving but arsenal had a tough time wining the game. Arsenal I must say had a good contender so it was expected they will not win at ease. The style of play arsenal used yesterday was not quite impressive but at the end of every game what matters most is victory which arsenal did got. Arsenal and Tottenham are both good teams for the season and other teams should watch out for then both in subsequent meetings

Tottenham may have done fine so far, which is a shocking result really because nobody expected them to do better without Kane, so it was definitely a shocker but at the same time I feel like it is going to be fine, and I believe that we need to end up with a situation that has to be a bit different and I believe we got that now.

I hope that it gets to a point where we could end up with a result that is better for the team that will do better on the long run. Like if Tottenham will finish higher than Arsenal at the end of the season then I hope they win, if Arsenal will finish higher then I hope they win it. Losing these type of early games that may ruin your chances in the long term feels horrible at the end of the season.

                   Nottingham Forest vs Burnley

        

The game is on and Nottingham is dominating the game due to home advantage. Their visitor is trying to put themselves in the game and they are trying their best. Nottingham is the favorite to win this game because they have won Burnley 32 times, while Burnley has won Nottingham 29 timess.

Nottingham is pressuring to score but it hasn't worked out for them as Burnley wouldn't let them pass through their defense. There is still time for any of the club to score as I believe that Nottingham might net the post first before Burnley, it is still goalless draw as none of the club has been able to break the deadlock yet.

I don't think it's right for them to sell important players. There were technical problems in the team, I think this was something that could be fixed with a few reinforcements, but they could not achieve this, and they also sold important players. Moreover, they still spend a lot of money and do not get full efficiency. Chelsea is going through a difficult time. I hope these problems will be fixed soon.

For Nottingham Forest this is a big game because if they could win it, what a great bolster would they have from the relegation zone and they would have taken away one chance for one of the teams from the bottom to get closer to the middle of the table. But Burnley is fighting and if they win it, the whole table looks very compressed. But the game is still going for another 45 minutes plus added time. Burnley is far from being safe yet.

[Kalson9]

I think Arsenal might be champions this season with there performance and as the season just started those at the top like Manchester city will have pressure maintaining the top and will face heat from the top four and when they drops points definitely other teams will want to reach the top cause the top four is tight presently and with the way the Arsenal squad are playing I believe they can defeat Manchester city

At the end of the day regardless of how they play and how well they dominate in this match the result is the same and nothing changes.
Chelsea really couldn't play well in this match and the score remained bad for them even though in this match they managed to secure 1 point.
Again and again their problem remains the same with losing momentum in finishing which makes the chances they have all wasted.
It's a pity that they had a good chance but in the end they couldn't capitalise on it well which made them lose momentum again to get 3 points.

[Mame89]

It's not just that Onana is doing bad things. Manchester United's overall performance is very poor. The performance of the attacking players is also poor. However, their defense has less experienced players. This affects the entire gameplay. In 5 matches Manchester United scored only 6 goals and conceded 10 goals. The team also conceded 3 goals against Brighton in the last match. ten Hag's match strategy is very poor. In every match we see poor performances from United.

The performance of the players seems to have no specific match strategy and no specific goals. There is no possibility of seeing Manchester United team in the top four of the table to perform like this. If Manchester United fail in the Champions League and fail to qualify for the round of 16, then the United management may decide to sack Ten hag.

Despite Man United's poor performance in the previous few matches and coupled with their defeat against Brigthon, it must be admitted that Brighton's game was impressive, they played very lively and attractively. Onana is not completely wrong, all Man United players are also to blame for the results they got, especially ETH who implemented a strategy that was very easy for opponents to read. I think ETH's strategy is very monotonous. They haven't met big teams like Liverpool and Man City. Imagine if Man United didn't make any changes, how difficult it would be for Andre Onana and the Man United defenders against a team that had a full attacking strategy.

ETH doesn't understand the Premier League game, he also bought a lot of ineffective players, the egos of players who feel great and always underestimate their opponents have been happening since last season. Maybe this is ETH's task in the future to be able to understand the Man United game characters, including the players.

I think a lot of Chelsea signings are done because of bad business, meaning they are not good signings for the purpose of improving the quality of the team. On average, the players who are brought in are players who appear to have high motivation to play for their old club, but their quality is not able to increase the depth of the squad at Chelsea.

Chelsea has a young squad that is basically still unable to show its best abilities after being signed. The adaptation that has been undertaken has not been perfect and this has been complicated by the ineffectiveness of the strategy implemented by Pochettino. Of course Chelsea can be better with the right strategy and line-up, but so far Pochettino seems to need time to do his job.

In my opinion, as long as they don't have a sharp striker on the front line, Arsenal will still win zero titles. A line up with a squad like this is indeed promising, but if you don't have players who can kill the game and a reliable target man when facing a super defensive team. Rest assured, this actually causes frustration for players. Apart from that, inconsistency is still a scourge for Arsenal, this is very different from Man City, where we know that apart from being consistent, they also have a very strong winning mentality.

If you look at last season, Arsenal has proven to be consistent. That's all Arteta's mistake at the end of the season when he lost 11 players. Where the players are inadequate and the player's mentality is down. Now that the depth of the squad is good, hopefully Arteta can improve the mentality of his players.

Why jump to conclusions too quickly when the League has just played 5 matches we still have 33 matches  ahead   the top 4 teams are close to each other and Manchester City still holds a perfect record without losing points. We cannot yet confirm whether Arsenal is able to compete with Manchester City but one thing I remember in the last 2 seasons Arsenal was sometimes inconsistent, if at the start of the season Arsenal plays well then at the end of the season Arsenal usually waste opportunities. Will they do it again this season? let's just wait

That was a really beautiful strike by Hudson Odoi for Nottingham Forest that was aimed at the top corner and hitting the woodwork, found the back of the net giving them the much needed goal to equalize the scoreline and on his debut game for the club also.
The game has been interesting as both sides are have been really energetic on the field each striving to score another goal.

It’s quite unfortunate for Burnley as they had their goal disallowed due to a handball after a VAR check. About 7 minutes till the stoppage time and each side is looking for that goal that would put them ahead and probably help win the game.

Nottingham forest has been keeping possession of the ball without creating good chances and at such may end up not winning the tie and it seems to me like Burnley might pull out some stunt by stealing the show in the last minutes of the game.

I think the second goal scored by Burnley was wrongly disallowed, that ball was clearly not a hand ball, the VAR was wrong on that decision.

[baeva]

With the current performance of Man UTD, I'm beginning to wonder if their recent 6 signings are even worth it. They have gone on to lose games and even confidence which brings me to believe that Erik has lost the ability to bring glory to Man UTD.
Brighton went to the home of dreams during the weekend and turned it to a nightmare for them and since their win last season in the Carabao Cup against Brighton, they have not regained form.
 Another flop buy to me is Cameroonian keeper, Onana who has not been impressive and his performance had made fans to compare him with David de Gea. Funny part is, the same fans who feel the Spaniard is getting old are now wishing he was still with them because he won't have conceded ten goals in just five matches.
I doubt what is worrying Man UTD is just management issues alone, maybe there's something else but if they don't improve, they will drop further than the 13th spot they're in. Maybe hitting 18 or 19 position might be enough to wake them up?

If you've followed closely, you'll notice Manchester United players have been injured, from Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane to Wan Bisakka, Mason Mount and others which can be lined up as a backup team for Erik Ten Hag.
Brighton lose was hurting and touching. Now it's Bayern Munich ahead, let's focus on that.

Good football game viewers knows Onana is a Great Goalkeeper and same for David De Gea. But comparison and stuff's won't save the results. Onana is a good gaolie, all that's needs is the organization of the defenders. Onana thrives with a good defense.
Those bashing him know nothing about the qualities, composure and passing qualities he brought into Manchester United backline.

They won't go below, some consistent performance and they'll be back in the Premier League clubs occupying the first four positions.

Criticising the goalkeeper is the last thing to do. Sometimes the signs of a bad goalkeeper are visible on the face, sometimes they are not, as in Onana's case. He was excellent in the previous team and is really doing his best to defend the goal now, just needs organisation... But I think that it is needed in the whole team, because the result that we have now is not comforting at all, hardly MU had plans to drop below 10th place at least once....

Burnley know they needed like two goals to win against Nottingham forest that has a record of scoring at least one goal in the last couple of premier league games they have played. Burnley were never safe with the one goal, Nottingham forest equalizes and it is not the usual Awoniyi, and then the two teams start struggling to score a second. Burnley scored, but it was ruled out. They will finish this game with one points. I do not see any of the both teams as being able to score in the extra time.

Sheffield, Burnley, Everton and Luton Town are the 4 worst teams until week 5 of the Premier League so far. All these teams have not won their respective matches and they are teams that seem to have to fight in the relegation zone until the end of the season. Nottingham was certainly better than Burnley, but this team's finishing was not really good as in the end they had to end the match with 1 point.

Until week 5, Manchester City was still a team that had not lost a single point. They have good form as a successful team and it seems that Manchester City's dominance in the Premier League will still be unstoppable this season. We know they haven't had a stronger opponent than Newcastle, so curiosity about their form against teams like Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham is certainly greater at the moment.

[Dobabe]

Arsenal are clearly growing. Arsenal have become more strong. What a resounding victory over a team that has proved to be unbeaten at home since the past 6 years, Harvetz should always come from bench that way I see the team going far
