Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Avirunes]

If we look at the defender options available at Manchester United now there are not many choices and this could be a problem that will be difficult to solve. Moreover, today they have an away UCL match against Bayern Munich and seeing Manchester United's readiness, it is clear that they are very doubtful about winning. On the other hand, for EPL matches it will of course also be a loss if the players continue to suffer injuries and I think if this continues it is not impossible that Manchester United will finish in a bad place this season.

From the look of things, I doubt if Man-United will be able to win tonight's match, that is, taking a look from the records between both matches, most especially when "Bayern Munich" playing from home. Because the worst case this match will end is either draw or Bayern winning the game as usual, which is likely what might happen due to Man-United poor performance & injury cases for the past few days, whereby having the likes of H. Maguire, M. Neuer, M. Mount, R. Guerreiro, A. Diallo and Wan-Bissaka on the injury list.

From the record on this image above, you can notice that when Bayern playing from home, they have always had a better chance winning or drawing the game.

I think Guerreiro and Neuer are the names from Bayern's side but anyway so far I haven't seen anything working for United this season. They have been really poor and they desperately need someone to score goals for them. I would say Rashford as a striker is the best option for them right now and they should start him at that position in highly rated competitive games like this. Bayern also aren't in best shape either but they have a great squad and really can be hard to deal with at times.

It's gonna be intense because ten Haag knows what's important this season so I think United will really give their all. Result can go either way though, it's hard to pick one.

Chelsea have changed several coaches and have brought in many new players in the last 2 seasons but there has been no significant improvement in their performance, I don't understand where their weaknesses are even though they already have everything the club needs. Maybe they should stand with one coach and build unity for the long term like what Manchester City or Arsenal have done. of course, it is not easy to change a system or strategy every season because players will need to make adjustments again.

Now it is clear that replacing a coach too often on a team does not guarantee good performance for that team. And this has been felt by Chelsea so it is very sad for Chelsea who have spent a lot of money, but the team's performance is still beyond expectations or expectations. I think Chelsea's management also needs to be improved in order to find out where Chelsea's weaknesses are because with a new coach and new players it is still not enough to bring about better changes for Chelsea.

Chelsea can certainly lament the fact that despite spending so much effort and so much money, they are not seeing any improvement in their squad. Only to improve the team, the team is spending significant amount of money to buy players as well as appoint experienced manager to Chelsea but still the position of the team is not changing. A new manager taking charge of the team every season could be one of the reasons why this team has not improved in performance. Every season when a new manager takes charge of the team, every new manager wants to implement his own strategy which may affect the performance of the players by adopting a different strategy every season. A quality manager must be appointed and this team will do well in the long run.

There is unsolved problem in the club especially on its management and owner., Todd was always intervening the club. It's also making its coach lose its confidence to handle the club at this moment.
There is also another reason like how pochettino keeps use boring strategy which is putting jackson as central striker. Pochettino forgot that if chelsea doesn't have good attacking midfielder.
Pochettino was also the problem for chelsea. Chelsea's players are not also having confidence in playing the game. It can be seen from how chelsea players were missing a lot of opportunities.
There's no someone who can position himself properly during the game to receive the deflacted ball. There are many problems in this club that may not be solved in a short time. Chelsea needs to work even harder for sure.
It's caused by this club may still stay at the bottom till the end of season.

[sana54210]

The legacy of Sir Alex creates a lot of pressure and expectations.
After his retirement, the fans want the same thing that Sir Alex achieved, And this puts great pressure on the club.
I don't blame ETH for how the team has been playing, United players don't fight back to get the ball when they lose it, ETH needs 110% from every player. No drama, just football.
And I still believe. Just time and Manchester United will be back again.

The difficulties Manchester United is facing do in fact echo the turbulent years that have frequently followed brilliant eras in their illustrious past. Erik Ten Hag is expected to lead the team back to Champions League victory, which is a heavy burden. The defence is the most obvious problem because to injuries and poor play, they are exposed against strong opponents like Tottenham, Arsenal and Brighton. Ten Hag objective is clear strengthen the defence and reclaim the capacity for elite competition. There is still hope that Manchester United will regain the consistency and strength of previous campaigns solidifying their place among the top teams in Europe.

I feel like as long as they do not address the issues at defense, they will end up not having any good years for a long time. And not like the issues at defense was something brand new, it has been known for many years now and they still didn't do anything about it for some reason. I mean think about it, we are talking about a situation where they are literally not doing anything about a problem they have, how could they get better that way?

This season I really expected something different from them and really wanted to see them do well because last season they ended up well at the last minute, but turns out this year was even worse than last year, so it is going to be quite a trouble for them on the long term for sure.

Being favored by bookies didn't mean if chelsea will able to perform better compared with previous matches. The current odds against aston villa has reminded me when chelsea was facing nottingham forest.
I didn't wanna try to repeat the same mistake like happened once chelsea was facing bournemouth and nottingham forest. Aston villa is far better than those clubs. Chelsea had easiest running in EPL but it was not able to get full points.
Chelsea will lose against aston villa soon. Picking chelsea is the worst thing caused by i have tried that a few times and all failed caused by poor performance that is terrible to watch by chelse.

If Chelsea cannot win all the small clubs they are playing against currently, when will they be able to win their matches when they start playing against strong clubs? Now is the best time for Chelsea to accumulate enough points, but they are already wasting them all. Chelsea's next match will be against Aston Villa. The match will be kind of difficult to predict, but I think Aston Villa will win or draw the match. I am not expecting a win from Chelsea.

Chelsea's performance is not even convincing for me. Aston villa has better gamplay than all of kids owned by chelsea. Aston villa is more mature than chelsea.
Chelsea is a club full with bunch of amateur players. I don't even know who the hell is going to risk their money to take chelsea that is playing like a relegation team.

It will be bad decision to take chelsea this time.

Anyone including Chelsea in their bet ticket is just taking a risk that those are not really worth it. There are two big clubs that I don't really trust this season, which are Chelsea and Manchester United. The two clubs performances are just poor, and I guess Manchester United is kind of better compared to Chelsea. Chelsea have been able to win just 1 game this season, which is kind of disappointing for a club like Chelsea. They will be playing their next match at Aston Villa. Let's see how Chelsea performs. I am not expecting a win from Chelsea, but let's hope they surprise everyone.

[HajiBagi]

Chelsea are going to host Aston Villa in their next game. Chelsea are favoured quite much by bookmakers but I don't have the same idea with them. Because there is literally no reason for this gap of odds. What is the reasoning in the first place? Aston Villa have started the season much better than them.

Of course Chelsea have a much better squad quality but is their game convincing enough? No way. I would never place a bet on Chelsea while they are playing this weak. I might think of betting on Aston Villa's double chance maybe as I trust them more. Chelsea just need to get rid of Jackson in the starting eleven as soon as possible too.

Chelsea cannot be trusted due to their bad performance; they were a very excellent team in the past, but I no longer rank them among the greatest teams. I don't think I will wager on any game Chelsea plays, nor will I give anyone the idea to do so. This kind of team can no longer be trusted because, if you bet on them to win, they will embarrass you. I'm not even sure if Chelsea has won any of the matches they've played this season; instead, they always defeat them or end in a draw.

The same as Chelsea's performance from the previous season. I don't see any changes in the squad, and Chelsea is the best team that has added a lot of players this year. Despite this, I was even considering that the current Chelsea coach is worse than the previous one because the team's formation is poor and Chelsea players will be acting like they aren't using their legs to play on the pitch.

Chelsea owner, Todd Boehly made crucial mistakes that have significantly affected the club till this present day. There's alot we will watch from these developing players in games, I'm just sad that it would take a lengthy period of time before my favorite team can get back on their feet. Chelsea in big mess and they will continue to struggle if they don't pick up their best form this season. The new coach, Mauricio Pochettino working entirelessly to get the team in good shape, but it seems he's not trying his best hard enough, there's other techniques to explore inother to level up the team's performance.

[Unknown Op]

My logic said villa has more chance to win over chelsea. Chelsea has gone back to the what chelsea used to do. Chelsea was alway less pressing to the its opponent. Chelsea is now so much slow compared to the last season.
I think that the young players were also affecting the performance from chelsea. I saw that people praised this club so much in pre season but the result from its EPL matches were very disappointed for sure. I can't even sure if i shall trust chelsea once again.
Myself said that if it's enough to trust this club. Picking this club in my multi bet is just a disaster as it can make my multi to collapse. Chelsea's attackers have no proper decision making.
It can be seen from how many chances wasted for nothing. Soem players chosen to pass the ball to its team mates instead of shooting it which is terrible. Chelsea's decision making is craap.

Uncertainties frequently influence football narratives regarding clubs and games. Despite having a strong roster, Chelsea recent performance issues have drawn attention. Fans are perplexed by their inability to triumph over seemingly inferior competition like Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest. On the other hand, Aston Villa has had a strong start to the season, casting some doubt on Chelsea storied domination. It is interesting to see oddsmakers favour Chelsea despite their failures. Although Chelsea should theoretically gain from having home field advantage, recent defeats to inferior opponents like Nottingham Forest have lessened their impact. With both teams having strengths and limitations the outcome of the game is still undetermined as it gets closer.

It is true that in the world of football nothing is instant, everything requires a process, and players and coaches are not "robots". Now that most of Chelsea's players are still young, there are many opportunities to improve their quality. However, Chelsea's problem is why until now there are still no signs of revival. In my opinion, Chelsea actually needs creative midfielders like Odegaard and De Bruyne who dare to play the ball, but Chelsea instead chose to bring in anchor players and strikers even though they already have a lot of stock, which is why until now Chelsea already has them. difficulty to win and every match they play is full of challenges.

Todd Boehly should expects zero development and positive results from his club, he can't sack all the important head persons of relevant sectors in the club and expects to win, it's not done like that. The club will build up gradually, probably not this season or next season, I would urged the fans to exercise patience because it's really going to be rough down the road. Chelsea FC have one of the best trending young squad in EPL, although it's not the reason behind their defeats and poor performance, it will take time before everything will fall back to normal for the blues.

I believe that these situations can get a team caught in a deadlock because resilience decreases exponentially fast with every single mistake or goal against them. When they start into a game with a good mindset and want to change everything on that day and finally do better, it often needs only one stupid goal against them or any other action in a game that makes them lose confidence and it is as if a switch is flipped in their minds again. Everyone who has been doing bad at something probably knows these situations when self-confidence is low and it doesn't need much to take someone down again. I believe that Chelsea is in that stadium again already and it is hard to get out of that.

[Weawant]

The same as Chelsea's performance from the previous season. I don't see any changes in the squad, and Chelsea is the best team that has added a lot of players this year. Despite this, I was even considering that the current Chelsea coach is worse than the previous one because the team's formation is poor and Chelsea players will be acting like they aren't using their legs to play on the pitch.

This shows clearly that Chelsea's problem may literally not be the players alone,  it may be probably be a problem of the team as a whole, starting from the team manager to the owners of the team as they all have a part to play in the recent poor performance of Chelsea as seen from last season even up until this season. Although it's looking more like it's basically the players but then let's see it in this light.

The coach at times seam to not play the players in their right position, which we know could definitely affect the players performance a great deal, I stand to be corrected tho. The coach needs to carefully study his player and improve the relationship he has with the players as this will help the players in a wholistic manner to improve their performance a long way.

They have good player enough to get them back to past glory but adequate utilization of this players with improved formation will help a long way. The owner of the team as well should have less of interfering especially when it has to do with certain player decisions, the coach stands a better position to handle it. Chelsea could be better if necessary changes is made and in time.

[Oluwa-btc]

This is never the Manchester united that I used  to know, If ETH doesn't do anything concerning the goalkeeper I see Manchester going down, in my own point of view I see the team trying to make things right in teams of defence, tactics, passion to fight but the goalkeeper let them down everytime.

The best idea for Manchester united right now is to buy a new goalkeeper and start back from where they stopped. Besides is never too late for Manchester united

This has got to be the first game Onana caused, he should nhave done better with that low and poor short taken by Sane. Though, that runs made by Sane should also have been timed and also blocked in the process. The midfielder's are not working and same goes with the defense. Erikson too dull for games like this. Casemiro has been effective but also needs that support in midfied.

I will say Onana be dropped a little. But before that, the defense dull as well, Lisandro Martinez looks sharp but not enough. There should be enough revamping done to the Manchester United defense.
They can't buy a new Goalkeeper, they bought a youngin who also traveled with the squad. Injures are also some failures that has taken the club backwards.

Pochettino is an experienced coach in the Premier League, but Chelsea cannot fully expect him to change everything in the first 5 matches of the season. So far Pochettino is still considered a failure because he has not proven a significant improvement in the team's performance, but if Chelsea can give him more time then I think Pochettino is ready to make a lot of changes.

Chelsea's performance is unstable because they are still unable to establish good cooperation between their players. The team's performance is affected by the number of new players and new strategies, so it's natural that this team hasn't been able to play well in many matches. I don't completely think Pochettino has failed this season, but he has only failed in his last 5 matches in the Premier League.

But isn't this exactly the apology that nobody wants to hear? I am sure that the Chelsea bosses sat down with him and asked him whether he is confident that things can be changed quickly and that Chelsea will soon be recognized as the club again that is playing for titles in all competitions. I am sure that Pochettino said that there is tremendous potential and he feels he is the right man to do it. Yet they are taking another dive for now.

Hoping my beloved Reds continue our good start to the season by beating West Ham at Anfield.

I’m not even looking at Man City right now, I am just taking it one game at a time. I do not want to think about a title race at this point.

Prediction - Liverpool 2-0 West Ham

Seeing Liverpool's condition now after their 4 consecutive wins I think the match against West ham will not be too difficult for them to get 3 points back.
Especially with the record in the last 4 matches they have always scored more than 2 goals this is a great hope for Liverpool to score the same score.
West Ham are still in pretty good form even though last week they had to lose but we know their defence is still pretty good and even their fast counter-attacks can be very dangerous. But Klopp already knows what he has to do only the problem is that they have to try to make rotations for the first match in the Europa League so that the players are not exhausted.

[rahmad2nd]

Although Chelsea still haven't gotten their best form but still, I don't think Aston Villa will be easy to beat Chelsea. Because of course, Pochettino will try even harder to be able to make Chelsea rise at this moment. Because yes, if Pochettino still fails to produce good results for Chelsea, then I'm afraid Pochettino will be fired in the near future. Therefore, at least there will always be a strong reason for Pochettino to be able to work better to improve Chelsea performance right now. Because after all, basically Pochettino has the quality of a great coach, and it should be Pochettino should be able to overcome the big problems experienced by Chelsea.

That's right. Even though Chelsea haven't played according to what Pochettino and the Blues fans wanted, that doesn't mean Aston Villa will easily beat Chelsea in the next meeting. Chelsea actually has some good players, but the problem is they don't have an elite striker who can be relied on in terms of scoring goals. Also, several Chelsea players are still injured. So, Pochettino should give other players a chance, or try to rotate some of his players to find the ideal position. If not, they will always have difficulties when their team plays match after match.

In the next match, Chelsea will play at Stamford Bridge, their home base. This match should be a momentum for them to get back on the right track by overthrowing Aston Villa.
On the other hand, Unai Emery will take advantage of the momentum when his squad plays against Chelsea. Automatically, like it or not, Pochettino has to prepare his team and formulate a strategy to overthrow his opposing team in the next match. So, to find out more, let's just wait when these two teams meet.

[Leviathan.007]

There is unsolved problem in the club especially on its management and owner., Todd was always intervening the club. It's also making its coach lose its confidence to handle the club at this moment.

Chelsea is not in a good situation and their owner Todd Boehly has no idea about how to solve the problem and improve the team, they also hired Pochettino to make some changes and help the team but this failed and I think Chelsea even Pochettino didn't improve at all.
However Pochettino sold many players and bought alternative players for this team, he changed Chelsea a lot that's why this team needs more time to get in shape.

[Coyster]

Seeing Liverpool's condition now after their 4 consecutive wins I think the match against West ham will not be too difficult for them to get 3 points back.

West Ham is always a difficult team to face, there are no easy games when you come up against them. Talking about a good start to the season, West Ham themselves have been pretty impressive, they have won 3 out of 5 games, drawn 1 and lost 1 against the treble winners Manchester City. Liverpool are at home in this clash, and with the kind of noise the fans make in support of their team in Anfield, Liverpool will have a slight edge/advantage in this game, it is going to be a tough game, but imo Liverpool would win 3-2.

[Zaguru12]

Although Poch would have said he was the perfect man for the job which apparently everyone would have said, if you ask I would say we can’t be too sure because of his last experiences. But even though it is not going well now it doesn’t mean Chelsea needs to sack him. The entire Chelsea squad is new and only few players are in the squad that are old enough to have. So Poch time needs before they can actually acertain whether he is at fault or not but right now isn’t it the time yet. I could recall Arteta once had a very bad start with Arsenal that he got them at the rock bottom but with patience and the financial backing by the club’s Hierarchy he now has a formidable team that I think could challenge for the tittle too.
